Terri Schiavo, o Estado e a cultura da morte

William L. Anderson resume a situação no artigo Terri Schiavo, the State, and the Culture of Death:

Within a few days from now, Terri Schiavo will be dead because the courts have ordered that she be starved to death. Anyone who tries to intervene by giving her even a sip of water is arrested and led off in handcuffs. In the United States, starving a dog to death would result in arrest and imprisonment; starving a human being to death is state policy.
