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.

We used to have a saying in the USPS concerning the difference between folks with 30 years of experience, but it concerned just one year repeated 30 times, and those who actually got engaged in different stuff.

The 40 judges you cite reviewed part of the process governing how the original case could be handled on appeal and they found that all OK. Only one hearing of fact was ever held as far as anyone knows.

If you had wanted to save some time, you could've just posted the above instead of such a long-winded dodge.

It is interesting how no self-proclaimed "turkey" has yet been able to honestly answer the question "Was it wrong to kill Terri Shiavo?"

You remain disingenuous, even if I spelled it wrong the first time.
