Terri Schiavo Receives Easter Communion and Morphine for Pain

So it continues. Terri is receiving morphine for pain? What about all the reports that said that starvation and dehydration were painless ways to die? What about her being in a persistent vegetative state and not being able to feel pain?

I have a distant cousin who was in a car accident fifteen years ago and is disabled. His girlfriend dumped him when it was clear that he was not going to recover. When his parents brought him home, he had a feeding tube and the doctor told them not to try and feed him. His parents did feed him, starting with soft foods like jello and pudding, and now my cousin eats what his mom prepares. I think most of America knows about people like my cousin; it is just that the disabled make them uncomfortable.

Michael Schiavo, by trying to deny his wife communion and insisting on her cremation and the deposit of her remains in Pennsylvania, not in Florida, has taken putting the disabled "out of sight and out of mind" to new lengths. May God have mercy on his soul.
