The Right to Kill the helpless
This is a good summary of what the Florida Supreme court just ruled on. They gave the right to a husband to kill his wife. Her name is Terri, and her days are numbered. Her husband wants her dead, and will stop at nothing to make sure he has the right to kill her.
Even though the circumstances are suspect, and no one knows what it was that cut off oxygen to her brain while just her and her husband were alone, the Florida Supreme court has decided that Michael is the one that should decide his wife's fate. Michael is now living with another woman. Has been for years. Has some children by her. He got some big settlements that were supposed to be for Terri's therapy. But why give therapy to someone you want dead?
Michael also won't let the family see her daughter. The family just wants the right to take care of their daughter, their sister. That right has been denied them. The right of Michael to kill his wife over rides the right of the family to care for her.
I am sorry, did I miss something? Are we under Sharia law here? When did we give the right to the husband to decide when his wife should be killed? Hello?
Where are the women's rights organizations? Where are the Jewish organizations?
