What part of "right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness do you (and Greer) not understand?
I understand it all. However, you seem to stop after the first of our three co-equal rights that you listed (BTW, that's not from our Constitution, Diva Betsy Ross notwithstanding).

'Right to life, liberty, and property' is. It's in the Fifth and Fourteenth Amendments. (Technically, in the Fourteenth it's 'or' because of the negative grammatical/logical construction of the sentence.)

I agree with you about liberty rights and the right to die. However, like many others, I have some issues about the reliability of the evidence that Terri Schiavo expressed a wish to exercise that right.

Fair enough. That's a separate question.

I also think that it's not required, because the law provides for such a case, so perhaps there can be legitimate discussion on whether to change that law...but to send in the military or whatever....well, that's nuts.
