"The ONLY people that know what Terri's wishes were are her, husband, and her maker."

Correct! And her husband may not be completely truthful about his knowledge in this matter.
So if Terri didn't say that, or did say it and changed her mind, than her husband would be mistaken about her wishes.

So that leaves the will of her Maker. And the will of her Maker supersedes the laws of man. You speak of laws, and hypocrisy. Terri's life is in the hand of her Maker. And since He has chosen not to take her life at this time so she lives.In other words, if either a judge OR her husband want her dead before her time to die, that constitutes MURDER.

Which law is that again which gives a judge(a fallible man) the right to take the life of another human being? Without cause? Because one other person is done with her? Who may have other motives to lie? And he is the only reason it is even in a court of law? Even though she has a family who wants to care for her? When she's committed no crime?



Speaking of murder, even a murderer is not sentenced to die by the order of a judge without due process. Even then, years of appeals must be exhausted before the sentence is carried out. Terri hasn't even committed any crime. This matter is only before a judge because her husband's attorney placed it there. And you talk about hypocrisy. Nothing personal, but your logic has no locic.

765.305 Procedure in absence of a living will.--

(1) In the absence of a living will, the decision to withhold or withdraw life-prolonging procedures
from a patient may be made by a health care surrogate designated by the patient pursuant to part II

life-prolonging procedures.

(2) Before exercising the incompetent patient's right to forego treatment, the surrogate must be
satisfied that:
