Terri Schiavo is supposed to have reached her last hours. Like most issues, this one has reached extreme proportions in terms of polarising the country. To be in circles that considers themselves progressive, it's hard to imagine there are thousands of people who believe in the spin that it's wrong taking her life. A life that's in persistive vegetative state for more than a decade now. I can understand the parents being troubled by it. But spare a thought for the husband too. President flying half-way around the country to sign a Terri Schiavo bill intended to serve only her; Governor making repeated calls to the courts; people or more aptly conservative christians who demonstrate and call thousands more to join, the motive seems more political than saving a life that the person living it would gladly let go. These same people think killing somebody using a lethal injection is fair, war and thousands of innocent people written of collateral damage is justified makes me wonder if politics is only about agendas and nothing to do about real issues. Let Schiavo die in peace.
