So it’s official.
Terri Schiavo was in a persistent vegetative state, she had massive and irreversible brain damage as was blind to boot.
Oh well, so much for “how Terri would recognize us when we walked in the room and smile to us”.
Now Jeb Bush has gotten this idea that he wants Florida prosecutors to see if he can bring charges against her husband for an alleged time lapse between when she fell out to when he actually called 9-1-1.
Give it up.
Then we have Terri Schiavo’s bitter parents Bob and Mary Schindler who are disputing the results of the autopsy, bringing in their own people and considering filing a lawsuit all because they insist that their daughter interacted with them and tried to speak.
It’s sad isn’t it?
It must’ve really been a kick in the balls when they found out that Terri was blind because the autopsy report showed that the area of her brain which processes sight was totally and completely deteriorated.
At least Jeb won’t admit publicly that the autopsy report is false, instead he just wants to see what he can do to send her husband to prison so he can feel like was instrumental in inserting some “retributive justice” into the situation.
You don’t have to look any further than an episode of David Carradine's Kung Fu to get this little piece of wisdom.
Revenge isn’t justice.
Revenge only makes you feel better.
And it does that to anyone that is seeking it, the just as well as the unjust alike.
People shouldn't confuse the two. They really have nothing to do with one another.
But this autopsy, in my opinion, should serve as a lesson for Jesus freaks the world over that everything isn’t always what it seems.
This isn’t some liberal plot to kill your daughter. Your daughter was a vegetable. She wasn’t getting any better. She wasn’t alive except but the most “liberal” of definitions.
Just because she wasn’t “sleeping” doesn’t mean she wasn’t out of it.
She didn’t know who you were. She wasn’t responding to your questions. The autopsy results aren’t bias. It isn’t political. This is medicine.
Either you can see with this area of the brain turned to Jello or you can’t.
Sure you will be able to find some pro-life doctor that will look at the results of that autopsy and lie and tell them that she was improving, or had the capability of improving.
Sure you can find a doctor to lie for you. Hell, I’m sure that there are doctors like that who make a living testifying for whatever side is willing to line their pockets.
But these doctors that said that Terri Schiavo’s brain was the size of a sack of testicles and half of it had the constitution of a bowl of Jello weren’t saying that because they were trying to push an agenda. They were saying that because everyone that doesn’t get their medical degree from Oral Roberts University would tell you the same thing.
So between Jeb Bush siccing all the governments men on Michael Schiavo to see if a 40-70 minutes between Terri Schiavo falling out and Michael Schiavo calling 9-1-1 are enough to make him feel like Jeb is being a good vindictive Christian, and the parents wanting a second opinion on just how retarded their daughter actually was at the time of her death, nobody is actually doing what Jesus would have done, which is go on with living.
