I think the government and the parents are the villain...

Am I in the wrong? As a good conservative I thought we were fighting for limited government and privacy rights.

Am I wrong?

I thought we wanted government out of our lives, our bedrooms and our religious beliefs?

Am I wrong?

Why are we (conservatives) fighting for Big Government, Jeb Bush in our bed rooms and one religious view about this issue?

Does conservative church views trump conservative views on limited government?

You tell me. It doesn't in my view of conservatism.

Government is to protect LIFE, LIBERTY, and the pursuit of happiness. You are wrong.

So what you're saying, is you want the government to stop prosecuting murderers.

There is NO PROOF whatsoever that substantiates the claim that Terri is choosing to die.

Since when does murdering through dehydration count as 'privacy'?

I don't think there is a villain. It is a tragedy, plain and simple.

And I'm with you on the government intrusion bit. In any other instance everyone on this board would be furious. But the same rules don't seem to apply to this case. Yes, life is precious. But the hypocrisy of wanting the Government to intervene here, but no where else, is baffling to me.

How are the parents the villian? I can understand your problem with the involvement of the Feds, but you can't blame the parents for that.

Show me where the U.S. Congress overstepped their Constitutional rights?

Yes, AZ, you are wrong. Conservatives do believe in limited government. Accordingly, we disagree with one branch of government (the judiciary) using UNLIMITED power to kill an innocent woman. I take it, in your view of limited government, when your son-in-law beats the heck out of your daughter, the police should not intervene because that's a "private matter" in which the "limited" government should not intervene.

If someone is trying to kill someone then the goverment has a duty to step in. There are plenty of reasons to examine this before pulling the plug. My blame goes to the Schindler's terrible legal team.

Honestly, I think this ceased being a privacy case when Judge Greer got involved.

Who's the villain? You are. You and people like you who are incapable of distinguishing between justice and intrusion. We want government to protect three things: life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. As for the rest, it should stay out of the way. But where justice dies, tyrannies arise.

Don't worry, I have a feeling we're going to see a lot more of these cases in the future.
