I'm Not Dead Yet

Thank you Powerline for linking to this excellent article by Harvard student John Ford. Anything with a reference to Monty Python earns bonus points in my book, so I will also link Not Dead Yet. This appears to be their mission statement, which I have copied from their website:

Since 1983, many people with disabilities have opposed the assisted suicide and euthanasia movement. Though often described as compassionate, legalized medical killing is really about a deadly double standard for people with severe disabilities, including both conditions that are labeled terminal and those that are not.

This is how people that can most relate to Terri Schiavo feel, and it appears that they feel threatened. I think that we should listen carefully to them, because, as Mr. Ford says in his article, we that are without disability cannot know what disabilities we might be willing to live with until we are thrust into such a situation.
