Legally, we lost Terri, it sickens me, but we know what we really need to do, go back to the states, and get them to pass Terri's Law. In the case of no "living will" or clearly expressed statements, and at least one member of the family will financially and actively (at the bare minimum, weekly visits) care for the person then we err on the side of life.

As an attorney who believes in the rule of law, I'd like to have your position. I agree that there needs to be some finaility to this. However, at this point, Terri Schiavo's natural rights and inherent right to live are being violated in the name of the rule of law. If the law cannot protect this most basic right, than why even have law?

Let us all have our fates decided by the whims of third parties without regard to our basic right to life.

Whatever the US and Florida Constitutions say about this, I've had enough, let Jeb Bush invoke natural law to save Terri Schiavo's life.

Are you a lawyer? If so, what do you think the burden has been on the parent's lawyer(s). I'm certain these guys will never get paid and yet here you have one firm running from DC to Tampa to Talahasse to Atlanta filing appeals, lobbying congress, the state capitol, etc. Incredible.
