Do you think your quality of life is better than Terri Schiavo's was? Why does that matter legally?

Do you think your rights as delineated in the Bill of Rights are important? Do you believe every American has an equal share in those rights?

Do you think your rights as delineated in the Bill of Rights are superior to those of a person in Terri Schiavo's condition?

Do you think a person in Terri Schiavo's condition has forfeited their right to life as delineated in the Bill of Rights? If so, why? What is your authority to make that judgment?

Am I a 'far right nutbag' for asking you these very timely questions?

Are you on the right website?

Yes : I do feel mu quality of life is better than Terri's was , but it only matters legally when you are in a permanent Vegetative state as she was.

Do you think you no more about Terri's state than many doctors and 19 judges? Obviously you do. What is your medical education?

Certainly : legally when Terri is no longer capable of making decisions ,someone has to make them for her. Your problem is who has the right to make that decision her husband or her parent, Legally in Florida her husband has that right, If you dont like it ---Demand it be changed. Dont harangue me about rights, I believe every human has rights, but when they cant communicate those rights that resp[onsibility is given to others. Do you thin. Joan Kennedys kids have the right to take away her rights and control her? She still has a mind even though it is pickled.

As for being on the right website I would ask you that same question since you evidently dont feel I have a right to have an opinion you dont agree with.

I'll answer.

Do you think your quality of life is better than Terri Schiavo's was? Why does that matter legally? - cajun scpo - Yes. It does not matter legally.

Do you think your rights as delineated in the Bill of Rights are important? Do you believe every American has an equal share in those rights? - cajun scpo - Yes. They have a right to choose not to live in a PVS state. You can't choose for her.

Do you think your rights as delineated in the Bill of Rights are superior to those of a person in Terri Schiavo's condition? - cajun scpo - No. She has the same right as I do not to choose to live in a PVS state. You can't stop her or me.

Do you think a person in Terri Schiavo's condition has forfeited their right to life as delineated in the Bill of Rights? If so, why? What is your authority to make that judgment? - cajun scpo - No. Not if they had said keep me alive no matter what condition I am in. But her right not to live in that condition is protected by law also.

Am I a 'far right nutbag' for asking you these very timely questions? - No. You just ignore the Florida Constitution [privacy], Florida law [court can review facts and rule as guardian for someone not capable of doing it themselves], Florida Courts [that discuss the testimony they reviewed to determine Terri's wish], US Supreme Court [Cruzan - that allows Florida law]

Are you on the right website? No. Why? I read the court rulings and look at facts. You take Sean Hannity and the Schindler's website as the ONLY facts.
