Terry Schiavo Memorial

As I was reading Wednesday's News-Press, I read an article that was sort of a blast from the past. Tuesday, March 31 was the four year anniversary of the death of Terry Schiavo, a Tampa Bay woman who was in a vegetative state for the final years of her life. It was interesting to read because I remember watching the court battle in the news as it happened. But what really struck me about the article was how one-sided and biased it seemed to be in favor of continuing Terry Schiavo's life, even four years after her death. One quote in particular verified this, "Sitting just inches from her bedside at the hospice were flowers, he said, soaking up water Schiavo was not permitted to drink. Children, Pavone said, were arrested for trying to bring bottles of water to a dying Schiavo." The article doesn't mention the counterargument anywhere, which annoyed me, since I was a supporter of ending her painful life, since she was not likely to recover.
