Here's the "slippery slope" the pro-Terri people have been worried about.
This wasn't a family member making the decision, it was a bunch of over-educated euthanasia providers in lab coats that wanted to do this.
"They are out of control to make a law like this, it's shameful," said Janette Nikolouzos. "The way I feel for them giving so much power to the doctors and the hospitals they should bury their heads in the sand like an ostrich. It's disgraceful for this state.
Socialism is on the march....
A chance at what?
Current technology can keep people with no hope of survival alive for a very long time.
Why not submit this to a de novo federal review?
Hello slippery slope.
If people want artificial life support at enormous cost, set up a private foundation and pay for it with private money.
There are enormous costs involved, and many belief systems think artificial life support is immoral.
They called the guy an "invalid". Isn't that a politically incorrect word. Or are they going to start dehumanizing all disabled people now?
Calling President Bush! Pls Pick up!
A precedent has now been set and I believe you will see a lot more grieving families calling upon their US Reps, Senators and The President to intervene on their behalf.
I can hear it now, "But you helped Terri, Why can't you help us?" ....just wait and see.
Terri WILL die; to keep ABORTION 'safe' for millions of American women.
If Terri is has a life worth 'value', then, because to take it (or 'allow' it) to be removed from her simply because she 'cannot speak for herself', will cause GREAT HARM to abortion 'providers'.
After all, the 'fetus' can't speak for ITSELF, either!
