With a complicit judge with an evident right-to-die agenda, a lawyer with same agenda, the husband who wants to kill his wife has no legal opposition.

This is one more case of changing the law through the court system. The judge appears to have a right-to-kill agenda, as does the obvious one by the lawyer Felos. Terri is to be a sacrificial lamb on the alter of euthanasia.

This plays right into the hands of the Michael Schiavo who cannot wait to kill Terri. The common media presented angle that he is only honoring the wishes of his wife would be laughable, were it not so deadly. Quite the honor to one's disabled spouse by committing adultery. Oh, but I'm sure he would tell us Terri said she would want that too. The bottom line is that Michael's actions in real life contradict the his reasons for having Terri killed.

People in the court have an agenda to fulfill, the 'husband' has his own probable criminal interests, and Terri is their lamb. Terri has a constitutional right to life, regardless of physical disability. How does one get around a constitutional right like that? Deem her subhuman.

This is about the court ordered ownership of another human being, and perpetrated by the court's opinion that she is less than human. Humans have rights, rights that prevent their killing by starvation. It has been decided that Terri is not human and can be killed thusly.

Some, including Jeb, try to wrangle with laws about guardianship, voiced wishes' legal standing, etc. when this boils down to protecting another person's basic rights.

Very true, and eloquently written.

In a way, I'm kind of glad I won't be around in 20-30 years when the courts start selecting elderly or disabled people on a regular basis, and deeming them "too unproductive to be allowed to live." It WILL happen, and what is happening right now is setting THAT precedent.

Soylent Green is people.

I'm curious if he had enough money and a good lawyer and got the same judge again, could he stop feeding his kid if he had Cerebral Palsy? Is this the start of a Nazi-like genocide where we can just neglect our handicapped? Sick Sick Sick
