The government’s new starvation diet!
Ok, the blogosphere and the news are all abuzz about the whole Terri Schiavo case. And I’ve been so remiss lately about posting due to my workload, I haven’t been able to dish my regular load of opinion (or crap, as the case may be). So let me grab my cudgel and lay into this horse everyone else has been beating for the past month.
As you’ve no doubt already read or heard, Terri died this morning from being starved to death. What I can’t figure out is why. Why the fuck would we do that to someone?
If a dog gets sick or injured and needs to be put out of his misery, we don’t starve him to death (in fact, if you are caught starving a dog, you’d be arrested and put in jail!)
If a man goes out and murders a bunch of kids, is convicted in court and sentenced to death, we don’t let him sit in a cell and starve to death.
If a scumbag terrorist murders thousands of Americans in a cowardly attack, we don’t starve him to death either. Oh hell no! There are many on the left that don’t even want the terrorists to be put in an uncomfortable cell or interrogated!
But if you’re sick and unable to speak for yourself, well buddy, you deserve to languish in hunger and thirst for 13 days until you die a terrible agonizingly slow death.
The 8th Amendment to the Constitution states “Excessive bail shall not be required, nor excessive fines imposed, nor cruel and unusual punishments inflicted.” Well, if starving to death doesn’t qualify as cruel and unusual punishment, then I say we starve each and every motherfucking Muslim fanatic terrorist that we catch. Put ‘em up in nice hospice rooms without windows, lock their doors and wait a few weeks. Presto! We’ll give them the “right to die”.
This whole situation has completely changed my outlook on euthenasia (and I don’t mean teenagers in Amsterdam). I’m pretty much on the pro-life side. Used to even be against the Dr. Death thing a few years back. But I’ve since tried putting myself in the Shiavo situation, and if this was happening to me I’d want the option of dying, albeit in a much more humane way. I believe it used to be called death with dignity. I’m sure my mindset is biased on this due to my study of Japanese swordsmanship and culture. Ironically enough, suicide was a integral part of samurai life in Edo period Japan. Even death to an enemy revolved around the concept of honor. It was considered shameful to leave an enemy to linger. One would honor one’s enemy by allowing him a quick death.
Why the FUCK can’t we get that through our stupid heads?
The whole debate over whether Terri’s parents or her ex-husband should have say over her fate is a moot point. Personally, I think that since the medical experts are a bit unclear about what Terry really could feel or think, then they should have erred on the side of caution. But the government stepped in and does what it does best: erect an impenetrable wall of red tape. Once a judge decided she was in a “persistent vegetative state”, and combined that with the hearsay evidence from Michael Shiavo that Terri supposedly “wanted” to die (since when do we make life-and-death decisions on hearsay?), her fate was sealed and nobody was going to reevaluate the facts in the case. How stupid is that?
Anyhow, given the fact that Terri was literally sentenced to die when they took out her feeding tube, how hard would it have been to at least acccord her the same dignity we allow to our worst murderers and give her a lethal injection?
And what’s up with Michael Shiavo not allowing Terri’s parents to see her in her last remaining hours?
Right now, there’s a very special place being prepared in Hell for Michael Schiavo. Along with the judges and police officers who “did their duty” and made this horrific thing happen.
