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.
You remind me of Joe Kennedy. He thought he had the right to do a frontal lobotomy on his retarded daughter because she still had a sexual drive. Turned her into that person you describe.
Same spirit.
I asked if you were on the right website because you were tossing out insults usually used only by the Left.
But I notice you didn't even come close to answering my questions in any kind of substantive way.
Obviously you think your rights are superior to those of the disabled, and have no concept of what 'inalienable' means.
Sad that such thinking has found so many fertile minds in America these days. Too much liberal fertilizer, obviously...
Ah, so her quality of life determines her constitutional rights, according to you.
Where exactly in the Fifth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution or in Article One, Section Two of the Florida Constitution do you find this exception? I can't seem to find that. In fact, the FL Constitution, the fundamental law of the State, specifically forbids the State from depriving the disabled of their right to life.
Do you even believe in the Constitution?
That's not 'my problem' at all.
My 'problem' in this area is whether someone who repeatedly tried to kill their spouse has any business making any decision of any kind for anybody.
In the America I know and love, attempted murder and/or murder land you in a penitentiary for the rest of your days.
No, you obviously don't.
...but when they cant communicate those rights that resp[onsibility is given to others...
'Responsibility' to kill them by starvation? You're not making any sense.
Not one judge above Greer looked at the trial facts. As to doctors, the major one Greer appointed and whose testimony he based his decision on doesn't even think that Terri had rights. Previous PVS patients would certainly know more than Crandall does.
