I Would Have Been Tempted

(3)

The question has often been raised: 'If Terri Schiavo can feel no pain, then would it not be a good move for Michael Schiavo to allow the Schindlers to have their wish?' This would be a diabolical solution! Michael Schiavo would be free to get on with his life and the Schindlers would be saddled with the constant care which the living carcass of their daughter would require. It would be a case of, 'Be careful what you wish for, you might get it!' It would be sweet revenge for Michael Schiavo.

As I have thought about this amazing case I must admit that I would be tempted were I in his place. I love revenge. But would I have actually abandoned my former spouse in the interest of revenge? I don't think so. But I would have been tempted.
