...Michael Schiavo abandoned his marriage vows to Terri years ago. Yet our nation's courts gave him the right as her husband to condemn her to a prolonged death. Michael claims that Terri wouldn't have wanted to live as she did for the past 15 years: cared for by her loving family and apparently without suffering. Can he claim she would have wanted to die over a period of two weeks by starvation and dehydration? Reine D. Bethany Hempstead, New York...
...political hypocrisy in the Schiavo case was appalling.

Scott Thompson Dallas...

...ironic that so many Americans tore themselves apart over the death of Schiavo but had no qualms about sending thousands of able-bodied young men and women off to Iraq to kill and be killed in a needless war. If those people had spent as much energy trying to keep U.S. service members from killing and getting killed, the war might never have happened. Frank Strylecki Ottawa, Canada...
