Well put! There are only two sides to this and, again, this hasn't been partisan at all. Some of the ones arguing most fervently for her death are "Christians" and "conservatives."

That's something else I just cannot understand. Most Christians and conservatives are anti-abortion and identify themselves as "pro-life". Yet they advocate the starvation and dehydration of Terri. I just don't get it. The life of an unborn child matters, but a full grown, mentally disabled woman's life does not??? I am soooo tired of hearing about the "cost" of caring for the disabled or the helpless elderly spewed forth by some of these people. Yes that is a real problem we have to finds solutions for, and soon. But to even consider murdering......uhhh, excuse me, putting them to sleep.....uhh, allowing them to die.... all because there is a cost involved in caring for them???? Some of the helpless elderly are our mothers and fathers, who cared for us faithfully when we were helpless infants. This is how society is planning on rewarding them???
