Can you not grasp the far-reaching effects this has, the potential for it to be a landmark case in the fight FOR euthanasia?

You say nothing can be done - I bet lots of Germans said that when their Jewish friends and neighbors were taken away. Those same Germans were no doubt a little taken aback when they came for the old, disabled, disfigured and mentally impaired.

Do you not see where this is all going? What's that old adage...they came for the Jews, Christians, I said nothing etc...then they came for me.

You said in a later post that the rule of law was followed. Just because it is law, doesn't mean it is right. Slavery was once legal. Abortion is legal now. If tomorrow a law was passed saying that it's ok to euthanize anyone over 65, anyone who can't feed themselves, anyone who can't recite the alphabet, run a mile, would that be ok because it is law?

You also asked if posters would be willing to pay her hospital bills. That's a moot point. First of all the hospice where she stays hasn't been paid a thing (probably because the husband's lawyer was a board chairman there), and also, her parents have said that they will pay for any care she needs, they just want to take her home.

Do nothing? Resign ourselves to the inevitable? I guess this country is run by a few judges then. So much for we the people.

"You said in a later post that the rule of law was followed."

I did not say that.

What I said was "Perhaps I am missing something here, and I don't mean to sound cruel and uncaring, but has the rule of law not been followed?"

I asked a question.

"Do you not see where this is all going?"

Suffice it to say I do not.

IMHO To equate this with the proverbial Germans VS the Jews, slavery, abortion, et al. is but flack thrown in the face of reality as it concerns the Terri Schiavo situation.

I will end my comments with this. Terri Schiavo's situation is very sad, however it will not bring about euthanasia for the masses, the Germans won't be executing Jews in the near future, and slavery will probably remain active only in third world countries not in the U.S. .
