Last thing I or most Americans want is the Congress interfering in my decision or the decision of a loved one to die just to satisfy someone elses religious beliefs.

Can you show me where this disabled woman who was not terminally ill or brain dead but rather disabled similar to a mentally retarded person had ever stated in writing she wanted this inhumane treatment?

It's not there, all we have is the word of slimy husband who has contradicted himself every step of the way.

That makes pulling the plug on her murder in my book Dave, and you're in a fantasy world if you think only "religious" people are making these claims.

Then rewrite the law to say that someones desires have to be in writing or to setup criteria for guardianship or to say that people in PVS have to be reviewed by a panel of truly reknown Neurologists and that atleast four of five must agree to pull feeding tube or plug or whatever. Your task is with the legistlature not the courts. The courts deal with what is given them.
