Fortunately, I think my parents are a lot more loving than that.
Wasn't it the government that decided Terri was to die? Isn't it the government that is guarding her room and making sure no one gives her any nourishment or even relief -- not even communion? Without the government, Michael would be out of luck in his efforts to starve his former wife (hey, he has had a new wife for 10 years). That whole argument about the gov't staying out of it is bunk. Most of Terri's family want her to live. It is only her husband who has not kept up with his marriage vows and who stands to gain financially from her death who wants her to die. And he is going to be successful because the government is going to help him succeed.
