terri shiavo blog post

terri shiavo was in a famous case where she collapsed of s heart attack in her home on Febuary 25th 1990. She suffered massive brain damage due to lack of oxygen and she fell into a coma. After 2 and a half monthes in her coma she was diagnosed with vegetative state. Over the course of a few yearsdoctor tried to bring her back into the state of awareness through physical therapy, speech, and other experimental therapies. In 1998 terris husband petitioned the sixth circuit court of flordia to remove the feeding tube, he was opposed by terris parents, Robert and Mary Schindler who argued that she was still concious. The court determined that she would not want to be kept alive and removed her feeding tube on April 21st 2001 only to reinsert it a few days later, but the tube was finslly removed in 2005 and terri shiavo died on march 31st 2005. Now the ethical question is do you believe that the desision made on terri shiavo was justified? Obviously it could be yes or no. But i believe that it is no the desicion was not justified. It wasnt becsause I believe that the desicion was terris and terris alone. Since she didnt make out any files about what to do while in this vegetative state they should have just tried and help her recover. Who are her husband and family, why would they get to make that desision on terris life i think that the only person qualified to make that desicion was terri and since she was able to they should have just left her as she was. I'm choosing to answer whether Terri shiavo is a person? And is she the she person? She is a person. The reason she is a person is because she has a brain DNA a heart. All of which are characteristics of a person. But I don't believe she is the same person. If she woke up from the coma she wouldn't have been the same person. But the main reason she isn't the same person is because she can't interact with others she has to eat through a tube and other people are making her desicions. The only way for her to be the same person would be for this whole experience not to have happened. Sources http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Terri_Schiavo_cases

Times article

When it comes to genome testing I believe that it is important you someone to know as much about themselves as possible. I think that this is important because people need to know how to treat their bodies. For example if you have a rare cancer with Norway to treat it a d the doctors decide not to tell you that is wrong, because what if you want to do something g before your life is ruined or maybe go somewhere. You might not be able to do that before the cancer starts effecting you. My personal limits are that I want to know everything about me no matter what, regardless of how bad it is. What I would do if I were the doctor is that I would tell the patient because it is my duty to tell the truth. What I would do if. We're a parent is that I would let the doctor tell me and then tell my child when the time is right? I think that the child should know when they are old enough to understand like around 16.

cyberlife

i believe that after we die are online identity should be left up but frozen. Someones facebook page should be left the same way they left it. I dont think i should be changed or memorialized unless that is what the person who died said that they wanted it to be memorialized. Also i do believe that it should live on. Wh else has the right to go on to someone elses Facebook or Twitter account and disable/memorialize it. Noone does! No i do not belive that our families should gain control of their diceased family memer. I think this because they dont have the right. For example what if the person that had died was very secretive and didnt like everyone knowing about his personal life. If one family member got a hold of it they may tell everyone else and that is not what that dead person would want. Also i do believe that the online identity could live on but i do not think that it should live on.

new years

I am anti newyears resolution because i think that many people set new years goals and most of the time they do not complete/fulill them. Also because new years goals just add on extra stress, withou new years goals you have one less thing to think about. Also i dont believ in them because of the fact that people should be making goals a throughout the year and not just in the beggining of the year.
