Kenders' Musings

Since Kender gave me the keys to his blog awhile back (always a danger), I decided that I would forthwith and finally put my two cents in on the subject of Terri Schiavo. Since it is long, as I always tend to be long winded, I left the post at my place and you can access it by clicking on the title of this post.

You can read my own story about the right to die, why the courts are actually not deciding on whether Terri lives or dies but only deciding on who is her legal guardian and how we will find out today whether we can no longer trust our common humanity and must insist upon a law that protects the living while insuring the patients right to participate in and direct their treatment.

I also discuss at length (of course) our responsibilities for insuring that we and our families are not ever left in this predicament and how to take care of it legally.

By the way, not only do I have personal experience, as in a family member, but I work in the healthcare field where these discussions with patients and family members occur everyday.

Kender, hope you don't mind that I stole your blog for a moment.

Yours,

Kat
