So, to use your assumption, which do you think we think you are?

But I thought they were going to provide therapeutic assistance. How are they going to afford that since they had to depend on Randall Terry to fund their legal battle? And what happens when they die. Are they going to dump Terri on their kids or the government? Life is uncertain.
Just because you don't know who might end up caring for a disabled family member it doesn't mean that you can just off 'em.
Your 'logic' is really quite odd.

The people arguing for the other side don't believe in quality of life. 'Quality of life': another name for the slippery slope into barbarism.

But they minimize their position by branding as murderers everyone who has to make this most wretching of all decisions. Only if they are murderers.

I see you are still causing trouble with your common sense discussion. ;-)

The people arguing for the other side don't believe in quality of life. They believe you should be kept breathing for as long as medically possible. That's where we will never agree. You are certainly distorting how I feel. I don't want extraordinary means to keep me alive. But Terri Schiavo was only on a feeding tube. They had to starve her to kill her and it took 15 days for her to die. That's a lot different than unplugging someone from life support and they die in an hour or a day. Surely you can see the difference between extraordinary means and a Terri Schiavo feeding tube. My living will says don't remove my feeding tube.

It's widely established that MS was a wife-beater...ROTFL! Let's hear those established facts (not innuendo and supposition).

Terri Schiavo, 41, died March 31 in a Pinellas Park hospice, 13 days after her feeding tube was removed by court order. She suffered brain damage in 1990 after a chemical imbalance caused her heart to stop.
Terri Just didn't die, she was killed!

TAdams8591: It is YOU who didn't know what Terri Schindler wanted. Neither did her husband who stated it over and over again to three different people. And neither did Terri's parents and siblings.

T...hey had to starve her to kill her and it took 15 days for her to die. That's a lot different than unplugging someone from life support and they die in an hour or a day... Many who have life support withdrawn linger for days -- or a week or more. It is not as cut and dried as you make it out to be.

Yup! When I get a lot older than maybe at the age of 80 I wouldn't want to be kept on with a feeding tube. Also it depends on your family. If you have a loving and supportive family , then you specify (in living will) not to pull the feeding tube.
And Terri had a loving and supportive family. Unfortunately a demon dog husband-in-name-only got between them

Ghouls?
The only ghouls I see are the ones who keep rehashing this case over and over again, as if to expect a different outcome. That's ghoulish.

"Remember the Alamo!"
"Remember the Maine!"
"Remember Pearl Harbor!"
"Never forget 9-11!"
"The Holocaust? Never again!"
"Terri Schiavo? Never again..."

"I happen to believe that for someone who SO WANTED to die, Terri exhibited an awfully strong will to live. I wanted what was JUST amd MORAL for Terri. The evidence strongly suggests that's what Terri wanted too."You forgot to include the above along with the part of the reply you quoted. Terri's family were even closer witnesses to Terri's tremendous will to live.
But for the sake of argument suppose NO ONE knew what Terri wanted, we should STARVE and DEHYDRATE her to death instead of allowing her to live and erring on the side of life??????
Did you happen to catch Pope John's teaching on this issue?
