When Florida tries to kill a citizen because they are mentally disabled, the federal gov't had better stop them.

Florida is not killing her, her legal guardian is claiming that she would not want to be kept alive in her condition - persistent vegetative state - she is basically brain dead.

Since there is a dispute, the court has to decide whose wishes to carry out. I sympathize with Terri, but saying that the court is trying to kill a mentally disabled woman isn't true.
