What's Wrong With Saving Humans?

I've heard lots of explanations as to why Terri Shiavo should be allowed to die. Quite frankly, i don't believe any of them hold water. There's only one explanation i accept as the reason why so many people believe Shiavo should be allowed to die. Somebody wants her dead.

When I say i "accept" this explanation, i don't mean i think it is a good reason. I mean it's the only reason that makes sense of why people want her to die.

Increasingly, our culture is not just "allowing" people to die. We are killing them - deliberately and happily. Over the past 30 years we have already deliberately millions of babies - deliberately and happily. We have determined that death is better than life.

Except when it comes to other living beings and creatures - those that are non-human. No sooner do we find that Shiavo's fate is sealed than we hear about some beached whales (or dolphins or whatever) and there is a great outcry that they must be saved. I'm all for saving the whales and dolphins.
