I'm only replying to you because you are at the end.

My concern is that SOME pro-life folks seem to derive an ego boost from announcing the fall of our civilization and appear almost giddy at the possibility of another Schiavo case. SOME seem ready to be vile and angry at most anyone who disagrees with them or challenges them at all. Sometimes it looks like only the pre-born and near-death receive their compassion and understanding.

Your disingenousness is impressive.

For the big words, spell checking is our friend.

Do you think it was wrong to kill Terri Shiavo? Yes/No?

Based solely on what I have read I believe that the state law should have required written living wills in cases like Terri's. I believe the judge may have not considered potential conflicts of interest, but I believe he followed the law. I believe that the 40 plus judges who participated in 30 some reviews believed that conflict of interest concerns were insufficient. I believe that the Guardian ad Litem's independent report completely vindicated the Judge, Michael, and the doctors who made the PVS diagnosis. With all of that, I am sorry that Terri died, and I hope that states in the future will provide consideration for feeding tube technology and living wills.

And I am sorry that the federal government violated the Tenth Amendment for political purposes, and I am sorry that the most extreme and shameful people and events made everyone's life at Woodside far more miserable than it might have been.

For many of us who try and maintain a conservative approach to life, there is simply no YES/NO answer to many things. I'm sure for you there is. I believe I have given you far more time than you either wanted or deserved, given the beginning of your post.
