Catherine Johnson on Terri Schiavo

Catherine Johnson guest blogs on Terri Schiavo over at Roger Simon's place:

Terri Schiavo is being killed because she has brain damage.

She is not dying-or wasn't until yesterday, when a Florida judge ordered her doctors to withhold food and water-and she is not on life support.

I can barely stand to think of Terri Schiavo's family, what they are going through. Like me, they are the parents of a child with special needs... Terri Schiavo's parents have hope that their daughter's functioning can be improved or perhaps one day cured with treatment, therapy, and emerging knowledge.

They may be right, they may be wrong. Or they may be ahead of their time, because one day brain damage will be repairable. That's my bet.

In the meantime they choose to love and care for their daughter.

Her legal husband chooses to starve her to death.

If he starved his dog, he'd be arrested.

Read on to the end.

Update: Sissy Willis has some very interesting information and makes a comparison between Michael Shiavo and Scott Peterson.

Update: Very strange revelation at BlogsforTerri: Does Michael Know What Terri Wanted? BlogsforTerri seems like the best place to get news on Schiavo's situation.

Update: Scott has some good comments. "I never took Peter Singer seriously, because I never thought I'd like in a place where I'd have to seriously refute his arguments." Indeed.

  1. This is exactly what I've been talking about (via Glenn).

  2. Lorie at PoliPundit:

    I sometimes tire of continually talking about media bias, but it is still so entrenched and so integral to the way politics in this country is played that it is impossible to ignore. Don’t miss today’s excellent Fox News Sunday.

    It's on at 5pm for me. I'll check it out.

Desired Thunderbird extension

Desired Thunderbird extension: something that will, upon replying to a message, ask you into what folder to move both the message you're replying to and your response. As it is I have to reply to the message, then drag the message to the folder I want, then go into my sent messages folder and drag the message I just sent into the same folder. It's time consuming and tedious.

The interface should provide not a folder browser, but an auto-completing list of folders that you type into until you've typed enough of the folder name you want to identify it uniquely (or, if you haven't identified it uniquely yet, you can scroll through the list to pick one), pretty much exactly like jEdit's Switch Buffer plugin.

  1. GNU TeXmacs:

    GNU TeXmacs is a free scientific text editor, which was both inspired by TeX and GNU Emacs. The editor allows you to write structured documents via a wysiwyg... interface. ... The program implements high-quality typesetting algorithms and TeX fonts, which help you to produce professionally looking documents.

    Check out the screenshots, particularly the "computer algebra" session.
