This past week, Judge Greer parted ways with his Southern Baptist church, which had advocated keeping Terri Schiavo alive, after his pastor suggested it would be better if he left.

"You must know that in all likelihood it is this case which will define your career and this case that you will remember in the waning days of life," Calvary Baptist Pastor William Rice wrote to Greer in a letter than later became public. "I hope you can find a way to side with the angels and become an answer to the prayers of thousands.

Even his church has had enough of Judge Greer.

this same government 229 years later has ordered her to suffer a slow and painful death

The State of Florida was founded 229 years ago?

I share your thoughts.

Being starved to death is about as demeaning a way to die as there is. Suffocation, a shot to the head, a lethal injection are arguably more humane.

If someone wants to be starved to death, they should be required to put it in writing.

The law allowing Terri to be put to death on her alleged verbal wishes was not passed until after she sustained brain damage.

That alone should preclude this barbaric form of execution.

It is murder, plain and simple.

Beautifully stated.

Has it come to this - that American citizens have become no more than puppets of the state? - that fear of our own laws incites us to inaction?

Also, the use of the term “vegetable” on a human being, even if seriously ill or disabled in the exercise of his highest functions, is and always will be a human being, and he will never become a ‘vegetable’ or an ‘animal.’ Removing her nutrition and hydration without any consideration for her religious beliefs is, a denial of her religious liberty and her right to freely practice her religious beliefs.

Remember the politicians and judges this Easter. They will all be enjoying their Easter dinners while Terri is starving to death and bleeding from her eyes and mouth.

Are we now in this country going to allow a person’s life to be contingent on the findings of people who, interestingly enough also wear black outfits, decide another person’s quality of life?

Yes, we do everyday.
