"The courts have said it, but there is question that Terri herself said it. The courts, using conflicted personnel, based their rulings on hearsay evidence, something not normally done when a person's life is at stake. Show me a legally binding, unaltered document that specifies Terri's wishes, signed by Terri herself, appropriately notarized and documented, then I'll believe it (and even then, I don't believe she, or any rational person, would wish to be starved to death). Until then, you're basing your judgment on hearsay, much of it offered by a person whose interests are obviously conflicted. Condemning an innocent person to die on the basis of such evidence is legally questionable, not to mention morally reprehensible and ethically indefensible."

Well put. Mind if I plagiarize?

It's a public forum and what is posted is fair game for "fair use", so yes, the post may be quoted.

I see I misdirected my response. It should have been posted to FReeper Jimmyclyde. My bad.
