Distorting the “aftermath” of the death of Terri Schindler

By Dave Andrusko If you’re old (like me), you’ll recall the famous line from “Love Story” in which the Ali McGraw character vacuously opines, “Love means never having to say you’re sorry.” Anyone who is or has been married knows that is preposterously absurd. Likewise, for the major media, and particularly the New York Times, …

The Cruelty of Terri Schiavo’s Death

By Wesley J. Smith During the Terri Schiavo debacle, I would often debate bioethicists and others who claimed that Terri’s death would be gentle. These advocates either intentionally or ignorantly conflated two different circumstances. 1. The first, taking food and water from someone whose body readily assimilated sustenance. That is an agonizing death. 2. The …

The “aftermath” of Terri Schiavo continues to be distorted by The New York Times

By Dave Andrusko Editor’s note. As best I can tell, the New York Times has not revisited the starvation death of Terri Schindler Schiavo recently, except to take potshots at former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush who backed the Schindler family against Terri’s estranged husband. The following commentary appeared last year, on the ninth anniversary of …

By Dave Andrusko If you didn’t follow the terribly tragedy that was the unnecessary death of Terri Schiavo, it might shock you how much misinformation, snarky commentary, and relevant facts that did not make their way into Clyde Haberman’s 1,057-word-long Sunday story, “From Private Ordeal to National Fight: The Case of Terri Schiavo.” If you …

Terri Schiavo-Type Patients May Feel Pain

By Wesley J. Smith  “Persistent vegetative state” is the only medical diagnosis I know of that contains a pejorative. No human being is a carrot. And the more we learn about these persistently unconscious patients, the more we  seem to be discovering that they may not be “gone” after all. Now, a study shows that …
