There will be people hooked up to machines suffering

Wait a minute, the "kill Terri" crowd all talk about how she won't suffer from the starvation, yet she is somehow suffering by having the feeding tube?

If stopping the feeding tube is "kill Terri," then any Living Will requesting the same is SUICIDE!!!

So, get off it unless you are saying that only the "Gubmint" can decide when life should end.

And yes, living 15 years in a "veg" state is suffering. It is more "Gubmint" interference that will not allow someone a drip for the pain as her time ends.
