When to Let Go...

Recently a friend of mine died. It was unexpected and sudden, I still can't believe he's gone. The doctors did as much as they could for him. He came to a point in all the frantic attempts to save his life, when he said to his brother, "Enough, I've had enough." He was saying to his brother he wanted to die. Two days later he did. My point is, he knew when to let go.

Personally I don't feel that Terri Schiavo's parents know how to let go. My problem with the whole right to life issue is this...Terri is breathing and that's all she is doing. Her quality of life is gone. Right now, she is a trapped soul that needs to be set free.

Who are "we" as a society to say Terri has to live for another forty years or so in the state she is in now? Plan and simple, "we" do not have that right it's a private decision made between Terri and her immediate family. These individuals who feel that Terri's husband is murdering her is way off base. What Terri's husband is doing is carrying out her last wish -- he's trying to let her go as she states to her family in this
Article.

Please everyone let Terri go...home.
