In an editorial forwarded to the list, A.V. Batista (our list owner?, spider?, the action figure guy?) wrote:

I know this is one of those 'intellectual' questions, but maybe one worth asking while Buddhism and Zen "move west". Either way, thanks to whoever wrote and/or forwarded the editorial. Our papers (in Finland) carried the emotional side of the the case but not the medical facts that were in the editorial. From the outside, it looks like suffering all around: for Terri Schiavo, for her parents, for her husband, for all the judges who had to give opinions, for everyone so certain the feeding tube should or shouldn't be pulled. It's to be hoped that there were/are moments of relief and joy as well. James ------------------------ Yahoo! Groups Sponsor --------------------~--> Would you Help a Child in need?
