Derbyshire comes out and says it: “The life Terri Schiavo has is not worth living. I wouldn’t want to live it, and I wouldn’t want anyone I care about to live it. For once, I believe, the courts have got it right. For pity’s sake, let this poor woman die.” Let her die? She has no terminal illness. She is being killed by the denial of food and water. On Derbyshire’s logic, there is no reason why we shouldn’t–and every reason why we should–make things easier on Terri and ourselves by immediately giving her a lethal injection. It would be quicker, more efficient, and possibly less painful for her.
