I took the Terry Schiavo issue very personally.
I’m of the opinion that once a judge sentences somebody with one disability to die an agonizing death from starvation and dehydration, it’s just a matter of time before that bar is lowered to include another disability and then another….
A childhood head injury, Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, Fibromyalgia, and Multiple Chemical Sensitivities has made my “quality of life” far below what many would find acceptable.
It’s a scary climate. The year of Terri Schiavo’s death sentence (2005) was the same year that Hollywood mourned the death of one its disabled members and at the same time gave its highest awards to two films that celebrate euthanasia.
