I plan to take a loooooooooong walk in the woods one of these days.

That's fine if it's what you wish, and I hope and pray nothing but good for you. I have made the same decision for myself.

That's not what this whole brouhaha is about, though. It's about who presumes to speak for another human being, when voice is denied her. It's about erring on the side of protecting the weakest and saddest among us. And it's not about someone allowing a natural death to take place, but someone with a vested interest in not allowing another to live--or even have ice chips on her parched tongue while that life is tortuously stripped from her.

Don't you think that's a tad maudlin?

I bet TS's is the most adjudicated death in human history. Ten years of wrangling and you still think she is getting short shrift.

Come on. Admit it. You would keep Terri alive for YOUR purposes no matter what. You just can't accept that Terri would want to go home in her condition.

ANYBODY would! EVERYBODY does. If you did to me or mine what you want to do to Terri .... I can't finish the sentence cause I'd get banned.
