“There are some (ap-

signs were torn down; there
were some spending issues."

As to whether she will
contest the vote totals.
Ellingsworth said. “I‘m not

WASHINGTON The
end of Terri Schiavo's life
won‘t end the arguments over
the issues raised by her case
— an unusual intersection of
religion. politics and morality
that sparked a national conver-
sation about selfdetermina-
tion. the rights of one family
and just how far into our lives
the government should reach.

Schiavo’s name is forever
associated not with the
woman she was before she suf-
fered severe brain damage in
1990. but with the symbol she
became: a martyr to some.
simply a tragedy to others.

For many: however. she
also was the trigger for a dis»
cussion with friends and loved
ones about how they want

their lives to end.

That , more than the po
litical fallout or the brutal riﬂ
exposed in her fatnily will
be Schiavo's legacy

“As tragic as the case is. it's
a wonderful opportunity for
people to take control of their
own lives and let people know
what they want in ways that
the state legislature can't
touch " said James M. Hoefler.

The group. founded in

the number skyrocketed to
more than 5.000. Over the past
week and a half. he said. more
than 30.000 people have called.
requesting about 150.000.

The National Hospice and
Palliative Care Organization
has received nearly 6.000 calls
in the past two weeks. said
Vice President Kathy Brandt.

However one feels about
the issues that have come to
define the Schiavo case. Mal-
ley said. everyone should take
steps to prevent what hap
pened to Schiavo and her fami.
ly from happening to them.

"That's something every-
body can agree on." he said.

was produced as a student pro
ject by a female with a connec-
tion to the subject.

In March 2002. a young
Palestinian woman detonated
a bomb. killing herself and
Mo lsmelis. and the film turns
this news story around and
gives it a personal story. Black
said.

"The conflict between Is-
raelis and Palestinians has
been one of the longest and
hottest conflicts in modern
times." Black said. “And this is
why I chose to explore it
through the film series."

Black said she hopes the
film can help. “show the realm
in which people get hurt in
wars and especially the differ-
ent ways women can get hurt."

Black also said she believes
women are affected by wars in
many different ways. and this
ﬁlm helps give viewers an in-
sight into women‘s lives.

Michele Rivkin-F‘ish. assis-
tant professor in anthropology
at UK. will provide a commen-
tary before the ﬁlm and will
lead a discussion session after-
ward.

Rivkin-Fish was a gradu-
ate student at Hebrew Univer-
sity in Jerusalem in the late
19803 and early '90s. She was
also active in the Israeli peace
movement during this time.

“It (the ﬁlm) complicates
the Hollywood images of men
on battleﬁelds in wars." she
said. “and shows the degree to
which women are affected by
war"
