Reply #43: Bad headline--The brain-dead woman was ALREADY dead [View All]

[rocktivity]

The purpose of the life support was to keep her corpse functional enough to incubate the fetus. The life support did NOT "keep her alive," and she did NOT "die" when it was removed. She died when her brain did.

Terri Schiavo was kept on life support for the better part of a decade while her family fought over what her final wishes were. The political/religious/media hysteria surrounding the Schiavos was rooted in the refusal to face the fact that Terri was already dead.

Apparently there was no dispute in this case, and once the baby was delivered, there WAS no point in continuing the life support. To which I say bravo, Mr. and Mrs. Torres!
