Schiavo - Where Are The Kennedys?
The Kennedys, like the Shindlers, know something about having a young handicapped woman in the family. The family patriarch, Joseph Kennedy, with the best intentions, ordered an operation which turned his daughter Rosemary from mildly-retarded to physically and mentally incapacitated. Yet the family did not have her killed, and they cared for her until her death at age 86.
So, why is the family which began the Special Olympics program in honor of Rosemary now so silent when another family seeks to care for their handicapped daughter?
The Kennedy's have power and influence, if they wanted Terri to be fed, they could make it happen. So, where is their moral compass? Did they forget the lessons of Joe and Rose? Care for the least capable among us, for their lives matter too!
And, dare I remind Ted, you have some atoning to do. Save Terri's life! For once in your life, save a life!
PS: Some sources dispute the good intentions of Joe Kennedy who apparently had the operation done without the Mother's consent.
