Actually, that would have been more humane than allowing her to die slowly as her body turns into beef jerky. Yet, can you imagine the outcry if someone would have walked in and blown Terri's brains out? That would have violated Lord Almighty Greer's chosen method of execution and would have probably earned the killer a murder charge.

We give our condemned murderers a painless and quick lethal injection, but we allow an innocent woman to die a slow death. I know, I know. Some doctors claim she won't feel any pain, but how do we know that for sure? When a person's life is on the line, you take the path of least risk to that life.

She might or might not suffer. We can never know. But either way we are suffering! Her family is suffering, being forced to watch their daughter die of thirst and hunger. If I have to watch someone perhaps suffer and die I would much prefer it be one of those who are on death row and have had the benefit of legal protections not offered to Terri. I can't know if Terri is suffering, but I can assure you that I am suffering on her behalf.
