Would you want to do away with the death penalty if it was found that one person had been wrongly executed?

Frankly, I would. If our judicial system makes such heinous mistakes, we shouldn't be allowing it to make life and death decisions.

Then why do you want our Government/Judicial System to make decisions in the Schiavo case?
Why can't you leave it to her husband as it should be?

It's not the husbands decision. But you clowns don't know enough to know that.

Who tried to kill her? Who has extreme conflicts of interest? AND ON AND ON? That's like saying a child molester foster father should decide on whether the molested child continues to live with him.

What a joke!

Because it is murder. It is that simple. It should be the government that sets laws that defend against a person taking an other life, even if you do not see the value of that life.

I'll be very VERY blunt.

DISCLAIMER: This is an example. In no way would this be acceptable. I am using this from a woman's perspective so MAYBE you might understand. The below example is just that - an example. Unfortunately enough people believe all laws are good and trustworthy. Unfortunately, they're not.

Pretend you got a lovely, wonderful, loving daughter who was in an accident and in a wheelchair. There's a bad guy - a VERY BAD GUY out in the front yard and he says he's gonna come in and rape your daughter and kill her. And he got permission from her husband. You following this? Her husband. And you know something...? She can't move herself. And the cops say because the guy threatening to come in and rape and kill her was solicted legally by her husband, it's okay. Oh, yeah, something else. Her husband has been shacking up and creating children and wants to marry the adultress new love of his life.

Your neighbors are upset. I'm upset. Some good cops are upset. And you cannot believe you're not going to ever wake up from this nightmare. It seems no one can help you. AND YOU CANNOT DO A SINGLE THING, BECAUSE THE OTHER COPS SAY YOU CAN'T. You have to stand by outside of the room hearing it happen - and cannot do anything to stop it. Why? (Whisper this next sentence to yourself.) Because her husband got someone to say it was okay for the bad guy to rape and kill her: Legally.

I put it in terms of a daughter whose body and life is in danger of violation and death hoping you can understand what is happening. My assumption is you do not have a daughter, or you wouldn't be asking that question....

He got someone to approve LEGAL murder - but wait - because it's legal it's not murder. And her parents cannot protect her because the law says they can't. If they do they become the ciminals. And you're wondering why her husband can't be the one to decide to have her offed so he can do what he wants, claming she would not want to live.

You are unfortunately what some would call a useful idiot. Someone way back in history coined that phrase when he and his group of people figured out they could use ignorant people to do their work for them. Google the phrase.
