The T. Schaibo case seems an exemplary implementation of cruel and unusual punishment accompanying murder abetted by complacent and univentive politicians and judicial authorities; death by starvation. The third time the unfortunate Terry Schaibo has been subjected to one of the more cruel ways to die that even convicts on death row are spared from experiencing. It is hard to say what Ms. Schaibo experiences when she is being slowly starved to death periodically.
In the era of mass media broadcast pimping of human rights into conformity suitable for consumerism, Ms Schaibo may serve as a prototype for low budget executions. Yet will heroic steps be taken to halt the malign environment of death? As the sands of the time of Terry Schaibo’s life was away in the longshore currents of the cosmos, what force of intellect can intervene to provide Ms. Schaibo an opportunity to continue existing albeit at a dysfunctional level?
Inventing one’s way out of the problem of long-term storage and maintenance of severely brain damaged individuals should produce, perhaps, if all moral realities are in order, a roller ball with James Caan sort of remedy; in which his friend was cabbage patched by Asian rivals and maintained in a life stasis shelter indefinitely. Automation and the market place should provide some sort of low cost capability of conserving life under the direction of legal guardians if necessary to prevent spousal murder opportunities.
Terry Schaibo’s opportunity to experience experimental reactivation of her neural networks someday raises the correlative issues of the effect that artificial preserved politicians can have on public affairs. For example, would ANWR have been plundered by the Senate without the continued life and heart surgeries upon the Vice President? The depletion of the nations final substantial oil reserves to OPEC and Trans-national coffers along with the substantial exhaust emissions following the Vice President’s energy meetings and Machiavellian machinations seem paralleled by the cost cutting of social services and even non-productive ‘deadwood’ like Ms. Schaibo in preference for the glory of war, oil profits and potential sales of half a billion SUV’s to the Chinese to add to the world 730 million fossil fuel consuming vehicles.
Though the legal issues are not clear, the right to decide that someone else should die models elements of G.W. Bush administration priorities of transferring wealth to trans-nationals and appointing the Wolfe to guard the World Bank while softly killing social service funding for an executioner’s song.
It isn’t known presently what might restore Ms. Schaibo’s brain to liberal thought, yet sending her down into the chthonic cold dead realms of non-existence seems more of a way of conservatist reduction of thought into a flat line…
American issues of Christianity, cosmology, politics, ecosphere, philosophy, contemporary history etc
