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.

The government - the judiciary - is murderering her. The citizenry cannot stop it - so that's where other branches of the government come in.

BTW, it was Micheal Shiavo who started the government intrusion...

14th amendment says it all.
There are times when the government must intervene. But what you are saying is that if you have three or four people abusing some other people and the police has done some things but hasn't really looked into the situation like they should and these people keep getting abused, and so you go to courts and they close their eyes to this. What else do you expect. The government is not to deprive ANY person of life, liberty or property, without due process of law; nor deny to ANY person within its jurisdiction the EQUAL protection of the law.

What if, just say, that Terri really didn't say that she didn't want to live that way. And just say that she does die and later we find out that it wasn't true. Can you bring back? What is wrong with just allowing her a few more days while this case could be reinvestigated a little more. Information has come out whether right or wrong should still be looked into, can you deny that? She has her rights too. Since there isn't a living will, we must look at life over death. If it were your child, no matter what you think right now, you wouldn't want that. There is always hope! Always. If you don't think there is hope, then why bother with stem cell or drugs of the future.

I still think that no matter everyone has right to life.

you're wrong teeny, I want the government to intervene to outlaw anal sex, where millions of gays are killing each other with AIDS. I want the government to shut down the liberal oligarchy of judges who legislate from the bench laws that are abhorrent to men and women of traditional values.

It's not the body of big government we oppose, it is the big hand of socialist government policies that rob capitalism of its strength and vitality.

"the hypocrisy of wanting the Government to intervene here, but no where else, is baffling to me."

The problem here is that the government intervention now is necessary because the government intervened where it should not in the first place. The government (Judge Greer) gave Michael S carte blanche to murder his wife by starving her to death. Now someone has to have the balls to protect her.
