I don't think the state should be involved at all.

OK, I'm not following you here, you feel the state should never have become involved in the Schiavo case?

Obviously.

As a general rule, I don't think the state should be involved in end of life decisions. There are cases, like the Schiavo case, where different parties have different opinions and the lack of a written living will requires litigation. When the state involves itself in that litigation, then the subject of that litigation should eb entitled to all the due process rights of any common ordinary criminal.

Probate judges should not have the power to order the death of citizens.

Be a bit more specific in your next question.
