A MUST-READ article about Terri Schiavo
Father Rob Johansen wrote an article for the January 2004 issue of Crisis magazine. It IS, in my opinion, the BEST and most comprehensive writing I’ve seen about the Terri Schiavo case, while also looking at the facts objectively:
Terri’s plight has evoked heated debate over fundamental moral, medical, and legal issues. Those in favor of removing Terri’s feeding tube have tried to frame the debate as a “right-to-die” case. Those fighting to save her argue that removing her feeding tube is tantamount to murder. But before one can weigh the moral and legal concerns, it is first necessary to understand Terri’s true condition, and the sad situation that brought things to where they are today.
You know the drill–READ IT ALL. (And no, you don’t have to be a Catholic to appreciate it; it’s not a sermon.)
