Next will be the call to stop feeding children with Downs Syndrome. They are never going to get better. Why bother feeding them?
This jerk of a so called science editor for ReasonOnline just got an email from me with an affidavit from a doctor in speech pathology defending Terri and an article from World Net Daily quoting an MD from the American College of Physicians and Surgeons defending Terri and railing against her lack of therapy and care.
If anyone is interested in writing this boob who could not bring himself to talk about the OTHER SIDE of this story, to even take an INCH of space dedicated to why Terri maybe should not be murdered....deserves nothing less.
Here is his email address and below that-the emails of the editor-in-chief, senior editors, assc editors and so on!

There are times when I've wondered...If Terri's Law is overturned, is it *just* possible that the judges will rule that making people die of dehydration and starvation is evil...But deliberately euthanizing the braindead/comatose/severely disabled by (eg) lethal injection is OK? If you accept the idea that people in the above named states can/should be 'put out of their misery because they wouldn't want to live like that', then why not admit what's going on and kill them as quickly and painlessly as one would kill an elderly pet, or the state a death row inmate? Am I paranoid-is this the proverbial slippery slope-or do others here see that as a possibility?
Next will be the call to stop feeding children with Downs Syndrome. They are never going to get better. Why bother feeding them? Geez ---- once we all hit age 20, you could say we're all kind of going down that slope ---- none of us is really getting better ---- not ultimately. It's too easy to look at someone in a lesser physical or mental condition and imagine you could never live like that ---- but sometimes you might change your mind on that. You wouldn't know it until it happens if you would. I picture myself needing a wheelchair ---- and I can't imagine my life like that --- but would I really want the alternative which is death?
You have forever to be dead ---- so why rush it?
