text: question for those who opposed pulling the plug on terry shiavo:? i looked at the court documents and discovered that, after reviewing the evidence from both sides (as scant as it was), the court found that pulling the plug would have been terry's wish.  so my question is:  do you believe that no one should ever be able to request withdrawal of their own life-sustaining procedures under any circumstances? the whole thing could have been avoided with a living will but that being said the investigation into her collapse and coma was not properly done. the fact is her husband was the only one who seemed to think she would have wanted to pull the plug, despite her strong catholic beliefs which clearly are otherwise. i find it strange that on at least two occasions he tried to 'pull the plug' and it was reinserted. the problem with this case is do you see a feeding tube as extraordinary care...now consider those who have had throat cancer, strokes, or any other condition that warrants a feeding tube. the other thing too is her family was willing to take on the financial and emotional burden of her life and he refused. why? why also did he purposely deny her own parents the right to see her before she ultimately died? i say that is cruel and considering there was no clear wish made by terry herself of her wishes it really came down to the word of her parents and her obvious religious beliefs and the word of her husband who had children with another woman and was living with her for over 10 yrs. why did he not just give full custody to her parents and family and move on with his life? one thing that out to be considered with removing the feeding tube...the husband thought that it was cruel to have her in the state she was in but removing the feeding tube and not allowing water or food is a horrendous death and not easy or peaceful. i am hopeful that the truth will come out one day and that her husband will be held accountable. he is not a nice guy and has a history of lying and cheating which leads me to believe he would no doubt lie to protect himself and lets face it, he had no love for her what he wanted was for her to die so that she couldn't ever talk and of course there is the book deal.
