"Let her go"??? by forcing her to die of thirst?

Your argument to let her die is specious. Of course she is better off in Heaven. We all are. But even given that, God commanded us not to murder. Not even ourselves. No one has the right to take an innocent life; not even Terri can authorize someone to kill her. That's why Kevorkian was stopped (thank God).

Terri has never gotten a fair trial. All these judges are covering for each other because they covet their unbridled power.

Someday you or I could be a useless eater like Terri. God help us if the only advocate we have is a monster like M. Schiavo or Felos who then tells everyone else what we "wanted."

My living will states that I would not want to be kept alive.

That's what I choose.

I'm sure my postings in this matter are colored by my personal feelings. I wouldn't want to live like that, period. And I hope my wife would honor my wishes. I would want her to be happy, not care for me for the rest of her life.

And what's wrong with a terminally ill person deciding they want to die peacefully instead of suffering for any number of years? That is their decision to make, not yours. Kevorkian wasn't going around killing indiscriminately, all those people asked for his help.
