She's not committed a crime, yet the government is sentencing her to death. Welcome to America.
perhaps mother nature has sentenced this poor woman to death.
The government has NOT sentenced her to death. The court merely ruled that Jeb Bush as governor has no right to overrule the wishes of the surviving spouse. This is legal and as it should be.
You are crabbing that the government sentenced her to death but you want the government to override the closest living relative. You can't have it both ways. Either the government has no right in this matter or it can interfere in any case such as this.
Now, the husband may be a jerk, I don't know. I don't know if Terri can recover from her illness or not because, unlike some of you on FR, I am not a doctor. It seems most of the FR people must be doctors because they seem to know so much about her condition, more so than her attending Doctors.
This is a matter of spousal rights vs government, and as much as I dislike seeing someone die, it is up to her husband and not the government to decide this.
I hope if I get in this shape a relative decides for me and not the government. We can't pick and choose the cases and we can't do it by group decision. It is not our decision.
Incoherent due to frustration, I assume. "The government" is not sentencing her to death. If she is denied food, it is by default and neglect and failure to uphold the constitutional right to life on the part of certain civil servants.
If this is America, then you have the right to petition and protest. No, "the right" isn't quite accurate; you have the responsibility.
For example, you may organize a protest. You may stage a hunger strike. You may consider suing hospice if they prevent you from protecting Terri. Oh, you're too busy? Then what are you complaining about?
The cynical "welcome to America" is just too much to stomach. You are America. If you don't like America, start right there.
No, her husband is sentencing her to death.
