MM, the judges are criminals. They are homicidal judicial activists. If you don't get it, then you evidently are a proponent of murdering disabled people. TERRI WAS MURDERED.

That is your opinion. Criminals, for me, are defined by their conviction of a crime in a court of law. You, apparently, have a different definition.

You seem to have lost touch with common sense on this issue. You have an opinion, and that's fine. I have a different opinion.

As for murdering disabled people, I'm certainly not in favor of that. I am, however, never opposed to letting the dying die a natural death. As I said, I'm in that situation right now with my father-in-law. I imagine that he could live another year or two with a feeding tube and numerous hospital visits. He does not want that, and wishes for his life to be over.

To that end, he is refusing food and water. Should we shove a feeding tube down his throat? I don't think so. It is his choice to die without intervention. His family is honoring his wishes, which he expresses quite clearly.

I have just a sneaking suspicion that you would not approve of that. And there it is. I hope you make your wishes clear to your relatives, telling them that you want to be kept alive no matter what. Write it down in proper legal format. Then, when you are debilitated so you can no longer speak or otherwise let people know that you have changed your mind, they will continue to maintain your life, no matter what.

Terri's case is one for the legal system to sort out. It has sorted it out. I think you're fighting a hopeless, and senseless battle in this, but that's your right.
