28 March 2005 - 3:44 pm


I've posted before about how I wouldn't want the whole world seeing me if I was in the same condition as Terri Schiavo. This point was driven home for me by an AP article I read today that included an undated photo of Ms. Schiavo from before she entered a persistent vegetative state. It provides such a stark contrast to the standard image of Terri Schiavo that we've all grown used to seeing that I wanted to share it with all of you.

I've included the two images in this post. I know that I would certainly want to be remembered as depicted in the first picture, alive and vibrant. Sadly for Terri Schiavo, the whole world now knows her as the immobile body of the second image. And that makes me incredibly sad.
