"Sounds like an opponent of capital punishment. You can't use capital punishment, goes the argument of the objector, unless you can prove that the system can never make a mistake."

If capital punishment is the issue here. What was Terri convicted of?

Also, WHERE DO YOU FIND A RIGHT TO DIE IN LAW?

WHERE DO YOU FIND A RIGHT TO DIE IN LAW?

My rights are given me by God, not man. Our laws presuppose the law of God, i.e. man made 'in the image of God.' That image is my intellect and my ability to make decisions reflecting my own wellbeing. I need not await some affirmative grant of a right from a king or government to have such a right. Thus, I have the right to end my physical life when I see fit. Seems kinda elemental, doesn't it?

The right to die is a direct result of our being mortal.

We're all terminal. Didn't you know that?
