[bodytext] => The Right To Die ------------------------- The Terri Schiavo Case Do people have the right to die? Tough question isn’t it? In the case of Terri Schiavo Does her husband have her best interests in mind? Or are her parents holding on to her for selfish reasons? If you believe that she told her husband That she did not want to be kept alive through medical means Does that give him the right to have her feeding tube pulled? Or do you believe her parents When they say she is responsive and fighting for life? Does that give them more right to make the decision for her? One may never know what Terri’s true feelings are Now that she is faced with this life or death decision But my take on the situation is this… It’s easy to say when you are alive and health What you do and do not want done in the case of such an accident But it’s a whole solution when you face death in these eyes I’m not so sure how many people would not change their minds Given the chance I think starving a person to death is a very cruel way Of carrying out what you think are their wishes I can only imagine what Terri must be screaming in her mind But unable to communicate So I’m back to my question… Do people have the right to die? And do others have the right to make that decision for them? In this case, I vote Put the feeding tube back in I vote for… Life!

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
