Let's Continue The Discussion

Though Terri Schiavo died today, the issues surrounding her death did not. There are still many questions to ask & answers to discuss. If, rather than that, we now all share a collective sigh & say "Wow! It's really time to move on & forget about this whole deal", then I feel we will miss the opportunity to completely use the gifts we have...
Gift of being able to use cognitive thought centers that are (thankfully) connected to language centers and to oral motor muscles (to speak these thoughts) or to fine motor muscles (to type these words)...pleasures & powers which I admit I take for granted all too often.
Gift of the freedom to express our individual perspectives because they do matter within context of a community of friends & family...something I rarely take for granted.
No matter what one's perspective was on TS's "right to die" or "right to live", I feel that her life & its ending present an opportunity to understand our lives better.
