Terri Schiavo's parents disbelieve in all science...

So, now that the ultimate truth has come out about the state of Terri Schiavo's brain, her parents simply refuse to believe it. It is as if medical science is now the same as religion, and that it is simply a matter of belief or faith that determines whether it is true or not. They choose to not believe in medical examiners, autopsies, and the weight of brains. This is not really surprising. All along they knew they were throwing out the truth. They made a decision a long time ago to argue based on emotion and not on the facts. They made allegations that they knew were false, with the hope that it would drive them to victory. Unfortunately this is a trait that too many people share with them. The ends justify the means. It doesn't matter what it takes, and whether it is even true or not. You should do whatever you think it takes to win at any cost.

Their opinions and views on the subject are worthless. All along they have shown a complete disregard for the facts and even as more facts stack up against them, they refuse to believe. This is like someone who has an undying belief in some deity. You cannot sway them with any arguments because their belief is not based on any fact. It is not based on any truth. It is an emotional bond to some myths that they cannot shake. Their entire sense of being is attached to this belief, so arguing the matter is pointless. They will never change that because to do so would shatter them.
