In what twisted, morally bankrupt and evil world is offering a dying woman a drink of water considered to be a crime?????

This is the United States of America and the hospice is private property. If I asked the police to keep people off my property I would expect them to do so if it were within their means. Private property means just that, private. Family medical decisions are also a private matter. The real damage to Terri was done 15 years ago.

Family medical decisions are also a private matter.

Which brings up another can of worms... who authorized the release of ANY of her medical information? HIPAA laws are pretty clear on this, so I'm wondering who was responsible for the release of stuff, and if so, were they authorized to do so?

I forgot that it's always been ok in the United States of America to commit murder as long as it's on private property. Thanks for pointing that out.

As for the private family matter nonsense ...you're 3 years late with that arguement. This is NOT a private matter. It is in the interest of every right thinking American to not allow the precedent to be set that a state court may order the murder of an inconvenient person. That's what's being done here.
