As a lawyer there are two things that have totally horrified me about this case, and they're entirely valid whether someone's religous or not:

1) Terri was judicially murdered without ever evidencing any serious, written intention that it be done. This is totally at variance with the way the law requires people to act regarding less serious maters, like selling real property and bequeathing their property, where written contracts and written wills are required. The Federal courts could and should have said due process requires a similarly serious consent before a helpless woman could be deemed to have authorized her own judiciao killing by dehydration and starvation.

2) As detailed at other points in this thread, the multiple conflicts of interest of Schiavo, Felos, and Greer mandated that Greer recuse himslef and Schiavo be removed as Terri's guardian. That neither removal occurred meant that Terri was judicially murdered.

Thank you lib,

As one with no religious doctrine or legal expertise, I relied on common sense and instinct.

Funny thing, I came to those same 2 conclusions.

I don't feel better, just vindicated.

"without ever evidencing any serious, written intention that it be done."

Florida law does not require that. Why do you even bring it up?

"Terri was judicially murdered"

As a lawyer, you should know that murder is the "unlawful" killing of another ..." Judge Greer made a legal finding, supported by 30+ judges.

You use of the term "murder" is inflammatory and in error.

"the multiple conflicts of interest"

The "conflicts" are so tenuous as to be laughable.
