It is unfortunately the ones who claim to be on Terri's side that cannot see where this will lead. When we give to Congress the right to decide who should live, we are, by extension, giving them the right to decide who should not live. I, for one, do not want to start down that road.



Thats complete HOGWASH... Congress has said "we should ERR on the side of life". How is that giving them the right to err on the side of death?

Is Congress going to pass individual laws for each person who is in a persistent vegetative state and is being fed by tube and has no living will? I think not. When Congress starts CHOOSING, as it has done here, who it will help, it is also, by definition, choosing not to assist others.
