Readers respond passionately to columnist Wake's opinion on Terri Schiavo's death and controversy

To the Editor:

To Luke, well said. But what can be done to prevent future occurrence(s)? What bothers me most is the fact that Terri was deemed property of her husband to be disposed of at will and with the full support of the U.S. court system.

My heart goes out to her parents who worked hard to the very end to save their child's life.

To the Editor:

AMEN... Very well put Luke Wake! A copy of your column should be sent to the judge that made the ruling, the court that would not hear the case and to an attorney with the backbone to file charges on Michael and the judge! It's a sad day when our legal system can play God!

- Mary Bennett

To the Editor:

I recently read Luke Wake's article about Terri's death in Florida. I am glad to see somebody else believes this was murder. I was sickened every day that poor woman was starved to death. I cannot believe this great country of ours allowed this to happen. His article said it all. Just wanted to let you know I support everything he said.

Thanks for caring.

To the Editor:

This is in regards to Luke Wake's column [ Terri Shiavo denied humane rights in her death ]. I thought that doctors took an oath ''to do no harm''. Doctors have the Constitutional rights to perform abortions, assist in executions, and ''pull the plug'' on patients that might want to live. Whatever happened to the Hippocratic Oath?

To the Editor:

I thought I would tell you that I agree with every word you said. I feel so strongly about it that I wrote everyone to help her. I couldn't believe our government would allow this to happen. It sickens me that our government did that, and I feel Michael caused her injuries, and lied about her wishes. I wish there would be a criminal investigation into her injuries and death. I also wish the judges would be impeached. It looks like Tom DeLay will be brought down because of his comments about Terri's death.

I wonder how bad our society will have to become before we stop the corruption....It's good to have a person who feels the same way i do.
