They should have moved their loved ones to another hospice. This controversy has been going on for years. I'm sorry this woman missed her last hours with her grandfather, but it is not the fault of the protesters.

BTW, I'm getting sick of liberals trying to equate this with protests outside an abortion clinic, this is about Terri and we can't let them hijack this issue and turn it into something else.

Besides, it's important that the people see what this death by starvation and dehydration really is. It's not peaceful, it's not painless, it is barbaric. It is NOT the same as taking a person off a ventilator or heart pump or whatever mechanical device. It is STARVATION.

Just think of all the diets you've ever gone on, why do they fail? Because you don't like that feeling of hunger and you are still eating 3 meals a day and drinking all the water you want. Try removing both for a couple of days and see what that feel like.

Agreed. Though, according to the article, she missed the last minutes, not hours, with her grandfather. She was delayed 3-4 minutes by not having i.d. with her, and the police/security. He had passed away one minute before she got there. I do have sympathy for this woman, but she was cutting it a little close.
