Dear Mr. President, It now appears that Terri Schiavo has no champions. She will soon die. This is a win for the advocates of euthanasia and a loss for America. When we give up trying as a society we begin dying. The Europeans are a good example. Just two years ago the French couldnā??t be bothered to halt their vacations to take care of their elderly parents who died by the tens of thousands in a heat wave. All they care about are their vacations, short work weeks, and pensions.
The Terri Schiavo saga is more than just a right to die cause for the terminally ill. When someone commits suicide, we feel saddened for this self-inflicted death but we do not fear for ourselves and loved ones. When we let the advocates of euthanasia carry on, they will inevitably seek greater numbers of the weak among us. Nursing homes will turn into hospices for which the likes of George Felos and Judge Greer can now only dream. Many of us will be at the mercy of state sanctioned mercy killing. Medicine will turn to eugenics rather than advancing cures and quality of life. This is the demon that is breaking loose in Florida and Oregon.
The most incredible sidebar to the Schiavo story is the stated goal of Michael Schiavo, George Felos, and Judge Greer to burn the material evidence. Terri will be cremated within one hour of her death. With all the firsthand accusations leveled at Michael Schiavo and George Felos by care workers who had direct contact with Terri, the indifference by Florida law enforcement officials in openly seeking the truth and settling public outrage is crushing. I am equally appalled that the medical establishment does not seek an autopsy to scientifically establish Terriā??s diagnosis. Do they not care if the public sees the medical community as credible? With all the second and third opinions Americans seek, one would think they should. A truly impartial post mortem evaluation is necessary to keep our trust.
Putting the Terry Schiavo saga into context, it seems foolish to wage a war on the other side of the world while we decay within. If the Bushes kick the can of euthanasia down the road, not only will the Bush legacy be undistinguished, but also America will have made a great stride toward its demise as a great nation. When Lincoln was confronted with the end of the Union, he acted.
Sincerely, (insert name)
