Two questions:

Since you and the others are so hot to kill someone, in this Terri,why don't you lead by example?

What has Terri ever done to harm you?

Why is her living so distasteful to you?

I have noticed, by the posts, extoling the virtures and joy of death and dying,informing others how painless it is to be starved to death that the right-to-die crowd never tries it upon themselves.

Why is this?

In closing, whatever you decide to do with your life, I respect and do not have any objections.

If you want to kill yourself, or starve yourself to death, have at.

But why vote to kill the other guy?

I am not hot to kill anyone. Neither you nor I know Terri's wishes, Michaels mind, or God's will. I have no problem with you disagreeing with me or anyone else. My problem is you and the people that agree with you can’t stand a differing opinion. I can’t even get anyone on your side to agree that a simple prayer is in order. “May God’s will be done.” I get the impression your side has a problem with that simple prayer. Which makes me wonder if your side winning this one supercedes God’s will. I have no problem with Terri being taken care of by her family for the next thirty or forty years if her husband agrees. I also have no problem with him pulling the feeding tube as ordered by the court. It is his call and until you can prove him wrong, it will happen legally.

All of the doctors agree on this case. Terri’s problems were brought on by her bulimia. She had a heart attack causing loss of oxygen to the brain for an extended time. Her higher brain has been replaced by spinal fluid.

Her doctors lost a malpractice lawsuit for not diagnosing and treating her bulimia.

The law has been followed and reviewed many times.

Her husband is her guardian by Florida law and by court order.

The court appointed guardian did not see any issues with Michael’s treatment of Terri.

The US Supreme Court saw no constitutional issues with Florida law or this case so they refused to consider it.

If you don’t like it, go work to change the law.

No abuse has ever been proven at any time by anyone.

You have no idea whether or not she wanted life support.

Her husband having a girlfriend and children has absolutely no legal bearing on this case.

What type of car he arrives in for court has absolutely no legal bearing on this case.

You are insisting on projecting your feelings into a matter that is not illegal and in my opinion none of your business or my business.

Who appointed you to speak for God? Have you ever stopped to think maybe God’s will was that she die on the day of her heart attack? Why not pray, "May God's will be done"?

In my opinion, your side of this issue is abusing a corpse to further your agendas.
