I did not state anything about what your living will expressed. I stated that Terri had expressed a wish not to be kept alive in the situation that her body now finds itself.

I agree that it would be better for the law to be changed to allow an injection to be given in such circumstances. I doubt that Terri is suffering 'torture' as the brain areas that allow the perception of sensations are no longer present. If she does somehow retain some consciousness, however, it is even more imperitive that she be allowed to die as she wished, and would be unbearably inhumane to keep her alive and suffering against her expressed wishes.

What law be changed? The only law we are speaking of is the law of the judges. There is NO Law passed by our elected Representatives or in the Constitution about death by no hydration.

Any so-called law made by judges is unconstitutional. The Constitution gives to power to make law to the Congress only. There is NO power in the Constitution for judges and lawyers to make law although they have tossed the Constitution out and are now making law.

Actually, she didn't. It wasn't until 7, count them s-e-v-e-n years later that hino suddenly remembered she wanted to die. Conveniently, it was after the suit where he whined and promised he'd spend the $1.7 million soley on her rehab. Her nurse was interviewed a couple nights ago (she's had an affidavit on file for years but the swamp judge won't let it become evidence along with boxes of other opposing evidence) and she stated hino changed after he got his winnings. Before his windfall, the nurse was his confidant whom he would cry on about not knowing what Terri wanted. After the $$$$, she said she won't talk to him because of his personality change and his obsession to kill Terri. Terri isn't suffering because her brain can't process pain??? Odd that you somehow know this when even hino acknowleges she feels pain and has instructed her nurses to give her pain meds during her periods because she has bad cramps.

I agree with Ralph Nader. [Fox & Friends approx 8:30 AM March 28, 2005] She shouldn't be starved because of some casual comments she made.
