The Terri Schiavo Case

In our G&T class, we recently went over what happened to Terri Schiavo, and if it was right to take her off life support. Personally, I believe that it was the right call, but how they did it was all wrong. According to Wiki, her husband was abusive and had wanted her to die.  Personally, If all you could do was sit in a hospital and vegetate, literally, then I believe that at that point, life has no meaning anymore. You are not the same person when you are almost brain dead.
Again, I will repeat that her best interest is to die. I do not mean to sound harsh. I believe most people would not want to continue living if they were in a vegetative state. Personally, I believe that life is meaningful because you can interact with others, have fun, and experience emotion. I also feel that felling sorrow would be better than no feeling at all. Life is fun because we suffer, and pick ourselves back up again, time after time. Also; the satisfaction that everyone derives from winning is another example. Both show the human drive to be the best, and to never be defeated. That is called hope and willpower. Once you take that away, there is little left to live for. Terri should have been spared misery and been allowed to have the chance to pass on as soon as they found out that she would never be able to do anything again. 
However, there is no doubt that she is still alive. She does not have a reason to keep living, but she is not dead. If she was dead, I would not be writing this post and this would not have become a national issue. The term dead replies to something that no longer has any signs of life. However, she still ate, slept, and had a heart beat. And if you have those three things, you are alive.Even though she may be brain dead, she is not a lifeless sack of bones. There was still a spark of life, even though it may have been dull.  In my opinion, Terri was definitely alive.

20% project # 2

This time around I have decided to do a project on why you need good protection for your PC, and what security software can provide it. I originally decided to do a project of football, but I have found a few articles recently that are really interesting. I have decided to change the project and make it so that I am learning entirely new information. I will include which are the best, why they are the best, and how simple things, like getting a good password, can keep you safe from malware. I do not see any problems I may run into at this time. I think that I will be able to find the information I need. My Dad can help me if I run into any problems, and I can uses multiple internet and written articles. This is going to be a great project!
