To My Husband: Let's Amend Our Living Wills

To my beloved husband: Please honey, let's go see our lawyer and amend our living wills to state this simple wish that will hopefully stop any federal intervention into the sanctity of our marriage, our personal wishes, and our financial futures:
We, said couple, want all forms of life support to be ceased, if it is determined by several medical experts, that we will never recover from an irreversible vegetative state, and that no intervention from outsiders (whether it be any family members, friends, clergy, political activists, strangers, members of Congress, Senate, the House, or the President and the President's administration) can legally challenge and /or change our personal wishes to end all forms of life support.
I will call the lawyer Monday morning, and hopefully, God forbid if we had to face a situation like Terri Schiavo's, we will be able to honor one another's wishes and be allowed some scrap of dignity to die and release our souls from a horrifying fate like Schiavo's, who is being paraded around like a gruesome, lifeless doll for the hypocritical Republican Party. The GOP should have spent this weekend honoring and remembering all the unnecessary war dead, but instead, whored out a brain-dead, still breathing corpse of a woman for their own twisted political agenda. If her husband no longer wants her alive so he can be w/his babies' mama, he should release her care to her parents. But Terri's own father has testified that they told Michael Schiavo to move on and date, and guess what- he did, after waiting more than 10yrs since she went into her vegatative state. If Michael is telling the truth, and Terri did tell him that she never would have wanted to be kept on life support, then this invasion into their marriage and personal life is appalling. How ironic that 2 years ago, the GOP wrongly invaded an innocent country, and today, the GOP wrongly invades an innocent hospital room. Let Terri's body die so her soul can finally be free b/c she will never get better - her condition has not changed in 15 yrs. Read this about how misleading those tapes of Schiavo are, and what is next? Will we tell amputees that their limbs will grow back someday, too?
