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.
You need to go back and read the history, George Felos even announced on TV that the court issued the order and it did not matter who the guardian was the order had to be carried out.
No. 1990.
Government has no business intruding into the personal affairs.
Tell that to MS. He went to GOVERNMENT courts in order to dehydrate his wife to death.
Terri died because under Florida law
Florida law was changed in 1999 in order to include people like Terri.
(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)
You mean like a pacemaker? A colostomy? Oxygen tanks? Like heart bypass surgery? Cancer treatments? Anti-seizure medication?

My brother had to have surgery removing part of his jawbone, his tonge and voicebox. He could no longer swallow so had to be on a tube feeder but he still drove, went fishing, and lived a normal life. However, he would have died without the tube feeding. So technically, he was being kept alive by "artificial means" so what it all boils down to is that my brother had a normal mind so he deserved to be kept alive but Terri was mentally challenged (and I really even wonder about this.) so therefore Terri deserved to die. That seems to be the general consesus.
