If the federal courts had ruled that Terri had to be kept on life support,

What life support was she on other than nutrition? I'm having smoked tuna for "life support" as I type.

She was being kept alive thru artificial means. If there had been no modern technology in 1989, she would have died in 1989 (that was the year right?)

Government has no business intruding into the personal affairs. Terri was not killed by "fiat of the government of Florida"

Terri died because under Florida law, spouse apparently has the power of guardianship, and as guardian, Micheal Schiavo decided to pull life support. (As far as I'm concerned, it was life support, life support is something that keeps you alive when in a natural state, you'd be dead)

It was not Judge Greer, or the 11th Circuit, or any of that other propaganda that was floating around.

In family law, it was a decision made by the guardian, and that's it, the government didn't "put her to death", Micheal Schiavo did.
