I have a question for you
What does this mean?:
DollarCoins
Since Mar 20, 2005
Most of my 'fellow citizens' receive their "news" from left-wing blow-dried media fops.
There is no evidence that this is the case...except testimony from her sick husband who has massive conflicts of interest.
In other words, the answer is no. His testimony is too tainted. If someone wants to be put to death just because they are using a feeding tube (a pretty unlikely scenario) then the burden of the law should be that THEY make that statement along with signed witnesses, ie, sort of like a will. But the hearsay testimony of someone with an interest in the case being given the weight it has is insane.
Looks like that poll has been DU_ped.
It means precisely what it says.
I believe this also contradicts his earlier testimony in the original settlement case where Michael said he was going to take care of her for the rest of his life.
I agree that there is no evidence, which I why I posed a hypathetical scenario. The reason being, is that many of my colleagues do not agree that anyone should be able to choose to let themselves die, even if they have it clearly spelled out in their will. I was just looking for feedback. Thanks

Well, Welcome to FreeRepublic!

Thanks, I have been a reader for some time, but not really the type to get involved in posting in threads, but ever since this Terri controversy I felt the need to participate.
I think the democrats are actually afraid of a presumption of life.
The democrats fear:
Culture of Life
Non-absolute final say fo the courts
Legislature that makes laws in opposition to court rulings.
I agree with you. Earlier today I went to a Canadian newspaper site to look something up for a friend and saw a poll there. I voted, and when viewing the results, I was absolutely shocked that over 80% voted to let her die.
They have to be voting without knowing all the facts about her life right now. Unbelievable!!!
Yes 45%, No 55% when I just did it, not that these online polls mean anything.
Voted YES bump.
Pro-life fanatics, like me, are saddened when people actually put in writing in a Living Will that they don't want food and water, but we accept that decision. But what happens, when a person who has a Living Will, changes their mind after they are injured. Will anyone listen to them?

Jeb Bush has NO authority over any Federal judge.
