Oh, this is about Terri? None of that applies. No one has the right to end her life without conviction by jury and her express wishes about final care (and her condition was not terminal in any case, until they decided to make it so.)

Her husband "said" she wanted to die. Of course, he may have tried to kill her and that's how she got there in the first place, but hey. Would he lie just to save his own skin?
Yep!

How do you know that outside of some hyperbole, considering that Terri's family got along well with him until he indicated that he wanted to move on with his life? I'm trying to figure out how somebody gets along so well for so long with an abusive monster, then has a sudden change of heart.
