Terry Schiavo and the Law

The purpose of laws and governments (Democratic) is for the protection of life. This is society’s justification for creating such structures and entities that through these devices we (society) hope to obtain a better life for mankind. The funny thing about this is that it is only for interspecies interactions, to protect man from man. The essence of laws and procedures is to fairly protect each person, particularly those that can’t stand up for their selves. This notion that every human life is precious is based on our Judea-Christen values where most of our laws are derived from.

In regards to Terry Schiavo I am not sure anyone is really sure what Terry wants,
and that is all I am sure of. I also know for me that where to draw the line is that if you have to err; human life deserves the benefit of the doubt. Laws and procedures designed and implemented for the betterment of life became more important than Terry’s life
