My tend toward the "body as temple to the spirit" side and from the little information I have about Terri, my conclusion is that her body has failed her spirit. What goes hand in hand with so much of the religious ramblings I've read (which often hurl accusations at Michael Schiavo because somebody has to be bad in this good vs bad scenario) is this refusal to acknowledge or accept death, it's this glorification of life, any living. I just wish that this idolization of life also included death, which is its natural progression. What is so horribly wrong with death is the pain it causes the survivors. Beyond that., we know nothing. Why assume the worst? Ann -- "The sweetest of all sounds is praise." -Xenophon *** The Red Hibiscus http://theredhibiscus.blogspirit.com/
