It seems that way to anyone with half a brain. But playing devil's advocate here, let's presume that what Michael says is true and her wishes were not to be kept alive if something like this were to happen to her. Now you're going to have a lawyer advocating for her, on her behalf even, to keep her alive against her wishes. I think direct legal representation for her is out of the question unfortunately as her intentions can not be divined.

Out of the question? That cannot be.

So in other words - Terri Schiavo is being sentenced to death and has no legal representation?

No legal representation and brain damaged ~~

The Supreme Court ruled in June 2002 (Atkins v. Virginia) that it was unconstitutional to execute the mentally retarded.

Why would we then order Terri executed?

Im gonna leave out "cruel and unusual" punishment for the moment. Im sure we don't starve death row prisoners to death do we?
