My first post in two weeks. Unfortunately, everyday life gets in the way of good blogging.

Terri Schindler-Schiavo was 26 years old when she suffered brain damage from a sudden collapse. Her husband and legal guardian is trying to remove her feeding tube while her family is fighting to save her life. The case is being appealed to the Florida Supreme Court.

A foundation formed to support Terri's family's fight for her life has established a website, terrisfight.org, which includes background information and recent news, video clips of Terri responding to her parents and doctors, and a petition to Florida Governor Jeb Bush.

This is a literal life and death matter. At the same time, I do find encouragement from this web site that the internet can be used as a powerful tool for defending human life from a misguided conventional 'wisdom'.
