Terri Schiavo makes a lousy test case for right-to-die law, since very few people think that the word of a slimy guy like Michael Schiavo should suffice as proof of a patient's wish not to have life-prolonging treatment in the event of severe disability.

Ah, but that's why it makes an "excellent" case. Since if Terri can be slaughtered, that clears the way for the many thousands of people whose death would be even the slightest bit less unreasonable.

No, removing Terri's feeding tube under the sketchy circumstances which surround this case, would only cause a backlash against any laws protecting the right to die -- and any serious right to die organization understands that.
