There should be a new law that states that if a spouse give up on it's mate, that the spouse should lose guardianship.
This so called 'husband" is a joke. He even has 2 children by another woman, and that alone should be reason enough to dismiss this guardian, who wants to impose a death sentence on the one that he married, so she can marry another. God see fit to intervene in the life of Terri, for as long as there is life, there is hope.

I agree. This is part of my reasoning for an alternate violation of Terri's rights, although it will need some proof. Were the tables turned, and it were Michael Schiavo lying in that bed, would the courts have been so adamant in desire to see the wife keep control of him, in spite of her abandoning him for another man? Excepting, of course, wanting 'guardianship' to make sure he died? There may be some gender bias here too. But like I said, will need some proving.

The main tenet of her denial of rights is proven by the mere fact that she is being starved right now, on the basis that she's physically disabled.

Else perhaps a bunch of piss-ant do-gooders may consign me to the horror of years of suffering a living death in a hospital bed somewhere.

This is not about the right-to-die, although it's being perverted that way. This is about the right to kill another, based on their mental state. Based on the poster's ignorance, he/she might want to make a physical note to remember to not move to Florida.
