Florida LAW states that if said person is unable to render such a decision, as is the case with Terri, then her CUSTODIAN (her husband) has the right to render such decision.

Uh, the word is GUARDIAN, not 'custodian'. A custodian takes care of PROPERTY. A guardian is a person assigned by a court to take care of another PERSON.

This is LAW people plain and simple.

Before bowing to your interpretation about what constitutes LAW, let me ask you this;

"Which is lawful, to do good or to do evil; to save life or to kill?"

Answer it. What do you think the purpose of law is in the first place? What aspect of "inalienable" as descriptive of the Right to Life don't you understand?

Cordially,

Please don't throw tit for tat in my wording if it says guardian then guardian it is. But you do acknowledge that law at least in some way.


"Which is lawful, to do good or to do evil; to save life or to kill?"

That is not the discussion and would be very flimsy in court. The law is simple it states that ones wishes to not continue life saving measures or continual vegetative non-cognitive state then the GUARDIAN, as appointed by the courts has the decision to end such procedures. This is not a good evil argument. It is not killing as you espouse. No matter what your PERSONAL feeling sin this maater that is not the discussion.

"What aspect of "inalienable" as descriptive of the Right to Life don't you understand? "

What is it that you do not understand when a wife who has told her husband that she did not wish to live a vegetable do you not understand? Were you privvy to the conversations in their bedrooms? Didn't think so. Before popping off about inalienable rights start thinking about ones personal rights and wishes.

10 years in courts
Decision was made.
LAW was on the books
he is guardian he made a decision.
If you cannot respect ones wishes/rights then what good is your little roll up constitution?
