I am so sick of reading about States Rights, the Constitution, politcal grandstanding, right to life fanatics, etc, etc, yada, yada, yada.

I'm a mother and all I see in this case is a mother and daughter in a situation too horrible to imagine. I believe that A REAL MAN witnessing this situation would do ANYTHING to defend these women. Thank God for Real Men like President Bush and Tom Delay!!

It's already been 15.

In a death camp. THat is what a hospice is. No treatment, no training, no interaction. Worse than a gulag. She could have been at home all these years.

I'M NOT TALKING ABOUT NAZI'S. I'm talking about the wishes of a free thinking human being. We still have that here, don't we? I'm asking you a question with a revision. I don't know anyone, especially a 24 year old, who when asked that question would say, "YES, please keep me alive in a hospice indefinitely if I ever become in a vegitative state as long as there is a 2% chance that I may be able to swallow some food again. Would you? If you say yes, you're a liar.

If a child tells you they no longer want to live, can you kill them ?

Can we kill all the elderly Alzheimer's patients (they cost so much money to maintain) ?

"Catherine Crier stated on Geraldo that Terri's best friend (?) testified that Terri said those were her wishes. I was not aware of that."

It's incorrect. A lot of incorrect statements are made on TV, including by newsreporters and commentators, and they also don't correct totally erroneous statements made by others.

There was a guy on Geraldo going on and on about respecting Terri's wishes, and Geraldo did not challenge him, that Terri left no clear wishes and there is only hearsay evidence by people who have an interest in seeing Terri dead.

Check out the Florida law on this. I am so glad AndrewC posted it:

I don't think they got your meaning, I did. Very well put.

Well then how come every judge and court thought otherwise?

Ask them or find the exception in the law. I can't find it. Here are the references in the Florida law. Find the hearsay criteria used to allow the hearsay.

90.801  Hearsay; definitions; exceptions. 

90.802  Hearsay rule. 

90.803  Hearsay exceptions; availability of declarant immaterial. 

90.804  Hearsay exceptions; declarant unavailable.

You didn't answer my question and your answer had nothing to do with what we're talking about. Are you drinking?

I would think the prospect of killing this Gentile Catholic woman using the criteria of Nazi Germany policies would not make you laugh. I guess I figured you for a different person.

My 10 year old son said the hospice she is in sounded like a giant coffin.

I never answer the questions of Arabs who want to kill Jews either.

Are you drinking?

I'm tasting your hypocrisy.

I've not heard one credible attorney support what the Congress is doing.

I sure as hell don't support it, I'm not a lawyer, but I'm a pro-life Conservative. I believe Congress will set a dangerous precedent for the future by being inserted into this equation.

Further, your statement is a bit of irony. Congress is mainly made up of lawyers. LOL

I know the difference between good and evil, light and darkness.

We are not even.

Do you know if FL has a common law marriage statute? Hasn't Michael S been/lived w his girlfriend for at least 7 years (not sure how old their children are). If there is such a law, wouldn't that make him a bigamist? And, if so, can anything be done along those lines?

In my reading, I think that it was revoked.
