Another way of asking it is are you 100% sure that she was pvs and wanted to die I didn't examine her and I didn't hear the witnesses so I can't say I'm "100% sure" -- whatever that means. But I am "sure" you have no evidence that she didn't want to die that the Court didn't weigh and consider and that, in criticizing Judge Greer's handling of the trial and the law, you don't have the remotest idea what you are talking about.
- so much so that you would be willing to bet your life on it?
If by "bet," you mean some kind of wager, no. I believe the Bible proscribes gambling. However, if you mean would I "bet my life" in the sense of submitting myself to the same judicial process if I were in the same physical circumstances as Terri, my answer is "You bet, absolutely."
So what it means is that you are NOT 100% sure that she wanted to die and that she was PVS - and the reason you are NOT 100% sure is because no one is 100 % sure. No one would in the right mind be willing to bet their life on this - yet you and others have the audacity to bet Terri's life on it. And the reason you give is because you do not think someone in Terri condition has an equal right to life. Because of her "her condition" she had less to gamble with. And just because you would be willing to gamble your life away if such a circumstance would befall you what gives you or anyone else the right to gamble another persons right to life away. She was killed on a probability. The fact that you don't know what is wrong with taking someones life away based on a probability is an indication to me that you don't get it and never will.
