I wrote her a scathing letter!!
But truthful, about how could she accuse the legislature of going where they don't belong,- in people's lives.
I reminded her that MS did not CLAIM TERRI WANTED TO DIE UNTIL 8 years after she was stricken!!!!!

And that we need legislatures to enact new laws that only allow SIGNED living wills to claim preference to death.
I also reminded her that when it was discovered that "pulling the plug" in the Karen Quinlan case did not "work", kill her, in the euthanasiacs (new word?) goal, they had to invent a better way to encourage people to die!!!
And that better way was naming, making legal, food and water as "life support"!!!!!

And that we need legislatures to enact new laws that only allow SIGNED living wills to claim preference to death.

And what good would such a law have done if Michael Schiavo had given Judge Greer a "living will" whose handwriting and signature happened to bear a striking resemblence to his own?

With good judges on the bench, the existing law would provide adequate protection. With bad judges on the bench, no law can provide adequate protection.
