You hit the nail on the head with your post. I'm guessing that a lot of people who are rooting for Michael are trying to ease their own guilty consciences over what they may have done in the past with someone they've loved. Perhaps they fell for the lies of the euthanasia movement, but there's no need in perpetuating the lies. We've got to remind people that the only way to get over it is to come clean.
Yes, but how can you explain that it's okay to have done something if one repents, but it's not okay to do it, all within a 24"x36" placard?
Terri Schiavo- Why the Rush to Put Her to Death?

(excerpts)
I demand to know where the human rights and women’s rights groups are over the case of the Floridian woman Terri Schiavo. Where are her civil rights? Did she loose them the moment she could no longer audibly answer or respond for herself?
Why do human rights organizations stand and give tirade after tirade to defend the war criminals at Guatanomo Bay, but where are they over a woman supposedly living in a Persistent Vegetative State (PVS) and her rights? Why haven’t the women’s rights groups spoken out against Terri’s “estranged” husband, Michael, who wants to pull the feeding tube and let his wife die a slow death of dehydration and starvation? Shouldn’t Michael’s desire to have his wife die be classified under- spousal abuse?
Truly, if this case is a reflection of how Americans are moving forward in handling bio-ethics then we are all screwed.
