(
Terry has died.  Her body, home of her spirit and a home for
the triune God, will not be buried in one place, but dispersed as
mere dust.  No life support system has ever kept a person alive
indefinitely, this is beyond the abilities of medical science.
No natural means of prolonging a human life indefinitely exists.

No extraordinary means of life support were used in Terry Shiavo's
case as defined by the late pope, John Paul II.  Ordinary means 
weren't employed either.

Show a little respect for the recently deceased Terry Shiavo Russ.
The Pope was not murdered.  There's little if anything that life
support could have done for him.  Terry Shiavo was murdered 
through the witholding of the most basic care a patient can 
receive.
