Terri Schiavo

Surely pple! I was so sure that a few opinions and views would be dropped in the VI basket bout the saga of this chile and whether she should be denied the opportunity to recover miraculously.

Ok, so i was lazy...(did i say that!!!) sorry too busy.... to give it serious thought and blog bout it... but hey... am sure somebody's thought about the morality issues involved.

Interestingly, a few days after first hearing bout the brain-dead chiles shidas, i read an article in the papers where some Kenyan family was telling us how they have had to pull the plug on their relatives because of the escalating hospital bills and little sign of recovery... and clearly, no one is about to stop them or take issue with the taking of life there.

Another case comes to mind, Mrs. Kihoro (wife to the former Nyeri MP) who was injured in the Busia Aircraft Accident and who ingiad a coma and has not come out of it since then, think 2yrs have gone since. I truly hope that she gets better soon, but in the unlikely and sad event that she stays in the coma a bit longer, a situation similar to the american crisis might arise... how will kenya handle it?
