What I can not help thinking about is Terri's quality of life.

I knew you'd get there sooner or later. So she should be cruelly starved and dehydrated because others judge that her quality of life isn't up to their standards? We don't judge others value in that way. Her life is precious, God gave it to her and no one has the right to say she's meaningless and should die.

That is not my contention I was mearly saying that it could be what see wanted. Not actually being starved to death but being killed in some manner maybe a bit more humane.

But that brings in the whole ethical question of euthinasia and who get to decide who lives and dies and I personally do not believe in euthinasia.

On the other hand there is the possibility that if she could say as much she might state her wish to die. Then the issue becomes that of assisted suicide. Again another possition I do not condone.

It truly would be best if she could go home and be taken care of by her parents.
