You hit the nail right on the head.

The idiotic intolerant, hostile and irrational behavior has gone on for far too long.

Depriving someone of ARTIFICIALLY-SUSTAINED sustenance (i.e. a feeding tube directly implanted into a person's stomach) is not the same as killing the person. One is passive - letting nature takes its course (since there is NO way she could've survived without the aid of modern medicine and there is NO hope of recovery) and the other is actively killing her.

It's sheer idiocy to claim Terri is being killed or murdered just because an *artificial* means of keeping her alive is discontinued.

People turn off life support equipment everyday when the chances of recovery is nil. Are people murderers for doing so?

Not once in 15 years has Terri ever given any hint she will recover. Not once has she conversed with anyone. Not once has she shown any cognitive ability whatsoever (despite the highly deceptive video snippets her family's put out to the public).

There's a reason why Michael Schiavo has one every single court case and why Terri's parents have lost every single one. Because the evidence support's her husband. All the courts agreed with the husband that Terri wouldn't want to live like this.

Would everyone respect Terri's wishes and let her die in peace.

No one has looked at the evidence since 1992. The courts have been addressing issues of law, not issues of fact. This whole thing could be resoved by having a fresh review of the facts. But that is precisely what Greer has refused to allow.

In your view, one could justly kill a baby (or the infirm) by omitting nutrition and hydration on the basis that the object of the omission cannot fend for itself. You call others that think otherwise "idiots." Well, one can do worse than being an idiot. Your position is barbaric and disgusting!
