The Schiavo issue

Ghoulish Delight · 03-31-2005, 10:54 AM

South Park did an episode sending up this case yesterday. As usual, in the midst their over-the-top crude take, they manage to make some very salient points. In their version, Kenny is "dead" for a day, but is brought back to life and kept alive, in a PVS, using a feeding tube. He has left a living will, but the last page is missing, so all they have is, "If I'm ever in a PVS, please..."

The episode unfolds parallel to the Schiavo case, Cartman wanting him dead so he can inherit his Play Station Portable, Stan and Kyle wanting him kept alive because he deserves to live. At the end of the episode, the lawyer finally finds the rest of his will. His wishes state:

"If I'm ever in a PVS please...for the love of God, whatever you do don't show me in that state on national television."
