The Moral Aspects

From Blogs for Terri:

Autopsy Does Not Change Moral Aspects of Terri Schiavo’s Murder says Priest Who Was With Terri Moments Before Her Death

Fr. Frank Pavone, who was with Terri Schiavo in the final hours and moments of her life and has called her death a murder, issued the following statement upon today’s release of her autopsy report:

“No details of this autopsy change the moral evaluation of what happened to Terri. Her physical injuries and disabilities never made her less of a person. No amount of brain injury ever justifies denying a person proper humane care. That includes food and water.

“A person with a 'profoundly atrophied' brain needs profound care and love. Terri did not die from an atrophied brain. She died from an atrophy of compassion on the part of her estranged husband and those who helped him to have her deliberately killed.”

Terri Schiavo's autopsy results are being touted by the MSM and the Right to Kill crowd as proof that her death was justified. As Fr. Pavone so eloquently explains, Terri's disabilities made her no less of a person. The moral aspects of her plight remain unchanged.

She was murdered by dehydration. She was betrayed by a judicial system and a culture that condones withholding food and water from a disabled person.

It still makes me sick.
