Recording devices banned?
How about guns?
A much better test of her ability to think and will to live, anyway:
We'll get Judge GrimReeper and the cheating husband in the room and let Terri decide who wants to die.

WASHINGTON, March 18 /U.S. Newswire/ -- Throw Away The Key, a victim advocacy group that works on behalf of past and future victims of crime, issued the following statement tonight about the case of Terri Schiavo, whose death sentence was started today, with the removal of her feeding tube:

"America's courts can't have it both ways," said Michael Paranzino, president of Throw Away The Key. "When it comes to serial killers, cop killers, and other monsters, the courts bend over backwards to keep them alive. Even twenty years later, most convicted killers are still enjoying three square meals a day. But the courts have not hesitated to order Ms. Schiavo killed, based solely on a self-serving and unconfirmed claim about something she once allegedly said while watching TV. Her only crime is being inconvenient.

"Either Terri Schiavo deserves the same, decades-long court delays that killers routinely get, or it's time to begin enforcing the death penalty with the same passion that the courts are exhibiting in their thirst to kill an innocent woman," Paranzino added.
