SO FRUSTRATING! helpless me

[Manders]

ok so i have to do a report for a class. and i have to be an advocate for michael schiavo in the terri schiavo case. it is very difficult because this is one of the few issues that i have NO answer for. i mean i can see where every side is coming from but for my report i have to be completely biased towards ONE side (michael schiavo). anyone whos opinion on this swings in the direction of michael schaivo/ judge greer, you are very much needed by me. i have alot of ideas but it is so hard to act like i am all for one particular side. PLUS the whole nation views Schiavo as a murdering culprit so its hard to find anything pro-michael schiavo online. NEED OPINIONS. and this isnt the tread to be like "damn america" or "cant help ya". please only post if u have a useful opinion. thanks. p.s. this is due thursday so no hurry....sorta. :)

i have an idea-

there has been debate over whom should be allowed to make decsisions for thee brain dead (w/out a living will, mind you)-

but i say it should go to whoever paid taxes for said person.-

for instance Schiavo's parents had not paid her taxes for more than 5 years, whereas michael did, so he should have (and successfully did) the final say-

just my opinion. :kiss: (embarressing 2nd post, sorry)

yes but that wasnt a viewpoint we could pick from. she gave us a veiwpoint. thank god. um.... thats a new one. i havent heard that opinion yet. however why is terri's case so media "frenzied" yet there are others....like the 3 u said....who have went through this. yet.. it seems that if the government or if any kind of person in a goverment position rules on something, its the end of the world and they re murderers however, if families do it its fine. whats the difference?

Wasn't Terri's case "media frenzied" as you said, b/c her parents called on the help of the state?
