The year was 2005--year of death. Wasn't it yesterday that Terry Schiavo was the talk of all media outlets? Fast-forward eight years. Even as three states legalize physician assisted suicide and euthanasia, Kathi Macias writes a timely piece to celebrate Schiavo's memory. Macias reminds us of life's importance and difficulties in Do No Harm. Characters Rebekah and Richard symbolize the struggle to protect life and the temptation to define it by one's abilities.From the beginning, this piece pulled me to the heart of it. Because Macias moved seamlessly from retrospect to present, I read Do No Harm in one sitting. What choice will Richard make? Is Rebekah's life useful?Well done, Kathi. What's next?
