South Park twist the Schiavo case

Euthanasia/Right to Die Forum

Last night we watched South Park. Wouldn't you know it, they used the Schiavo case. Here is what happened.

Kenney bought the coveted new PSP or whatever it is. Cartman was jeallous. Kenny was the best in the world at this game, so he died crossing a street. He goes to heaven and learns that he was called home to lead the forces of good against evil. THEN the doctors bring him back after he has been down, so he is in PVS. They read his will, and he leaves Cartman his PSP. Then the doctors announce that he is not dead. IN his will he ask that if he is ever in PSV that they- and the lawyer lost the last page with his wishes! So, Cartman decides since they were BFF(best friends forever) to go to court to have the feeding tube removed. Heaven is happy, but hell gets angry and they do what they "always do, go to the republicans". So the court fight ensues. Stan and Kyle get involved to try to save kenny. They call in the media. During the fight in the room with media everwhere the laywer comes in. Kennys last will and testament says "if I am ever in PVS PLEASE do not allow me to be shown on TV". Kenny's tube is pulled and he dies, goes to heaven, and wins the war.

Ooh that gives me a headache M.

I too watched South Park last night. The genious behind this show never ceases to amaze me. The creators always include both sides of the argument and issue, in the end stating that one side was "right for the wrong reasons, and the other was wrong for the right reasons."
I don't think the show in any way disrespected the situation with Shiavo. I think it gave a good sounding board for both sides of the argument.
Kyle and Stan wanted to preserve and save Kenny out of their love and friendship of him. Cartman was as always, motivated purely by selfishness. The angels sent to get Kenny's tube removed felt that man was interferring with God's will by inserting the tube to begin with.
