Wait a second...why is Terri special? Everday Dr.'s and administrators decide who lives and dies. When someone needs an organ transplant, who do you think decides who gets that organ? Dr.'s and administrors. There was an article the other day that it is not unual for hospitals to turn off life support when a patient is terminal or in a PVS and they can no longer pay. I'm directing these comments to those who say no human being has a right to decide who lives and dies. The law in Florida actually gives Judge Greer that right. You might not like his decision, but that doesn't make him the devil. He's following the rule of law, something you guys are always touting as something we must do. I don't get it.
Organ donors are different yet again from Terri, different from our soliders and different from murderers.
Not just any organ will do for every person. One has to meet certain criteria to get a certain organ and also placement on the list to make it fair.
That Judge would only have the alleged right to maybe end Terri's life, IF she had wanted to die. I believe her dear HINO lied about her wanting to die. That Judge based his judgement on hearsay which is inadmissible in court in most circumstances.
Terri hasn't committed any serious crimes requiring the death penalty, Terri was not a member of our military sent into the line of fire, Terri isn't on an organ donor list for an organ that would keep her alive.
All she needs is food and water to live. Her parents want to take care of her and will pay for it.
Let her live the rest of her natural life in whatever happiness she is capable of having.
This is so true.
I've seen MANY hours of medical documentaries on this very thing.
