on the Didion reading. Angel Mata's response:
[note: Angel posted it in the comments box but I wanted to see it up here on the blog screen, so I've taken the liberty of reposting it here--chris murray]
The Didion article tells of the life of Terri Schiavo. The article begins by describing Terri's life before her coma. Terri was like any other woman, concerned with her weight but it seems it may have gone to far and led to her coma and vegetative state. For years her husband and parents fought a bitter custody battle for Terri. Her husband wanting to ler her die while her parents wanted to keep her alive. The case eventually found its way to the courts and the feeding tube was removed and she was finally able to rest.
This article was very informative and gave alot of insightful information about Terri's life before and after the coma. Personally, I have known of the Schiavo case for years, before it hit the headlies and the world got involved. Most of the stuff in the article was old news to me. Once the story hit the front pages, Terri and her life got lost. It suddenly became a religious matter, with protesters and people boycotting not really knowing what was going on. The media was to focused on viewer appeal to tell people the real story. Overall I think the courts made the right decision it was just an unfortunate way to die.
