Excellent piece, Kae Marie.
This line:

sums up what I have come to believe after a week and a half of reading or listening to discussions about Terri's murder.
I am very sad...
Thomas Sowell wrote two columns on the Terry Schiavo case. Neither is as heart tugging as the one Kate posted, but both are well reasoned, as his columns always are:
Killing Terri Schiavo
Killing Terri Schiavo: Part II
Here's a better column by David Limbaugh:

Thanks for those articles, C.I.V. I'm an admirer of Thomas Sowell's.
Like you, I'm saddened by what seems to be the "some lives are not worth living" rationale behind those who support the dehydration/starvation of Terri Schiavo.
