Just because the doctors and hospital admins do it, doesn't make it right.

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.

My point about organ donors is that when an organ becomes available, it's human beings who decide, for a myriad of reasons, who should get the organ, thus live, and who won't. That decision can be based on lifestyle choices. So if it isn't right, why then even have the system? Just give the organ to the next on the list. Is that fair that someone decides that someone else should die because he smokes or drinks? My point is that life and death issues are made every day by human beings. And the law has been followed in this case. You may not agree with the result, but you cannot say this case hasn't been tried fairly. You just don't like the result. Maybe you don't even like the law. So why don't you work to change it.

And you sidestepped the soldier issue. We send young people to die. That's a fact. If it's not right that Doctors and Administrators can do it, why should the government make that decision?
