Which then flies in the face of all those that say they don't want the government in a "personal" matter. Either it was state sponsored euthanasia or it wasn't. It can't be both.
Many people on this board very much wanted to involve the government, at all levels, in this "personal" matter. Some wanted to call out the National Guard to storm the hospital!
This was not euthanasia, state sponsored or otherwise. This was the judicial system enforcing the state constitution, allowing a person to refuse medical treatment. Period.
You may argue that this wasn't Terri's wish. Fine. You may argue that a feeding tube isn't medical treatment. Fine.
But for those of us who agree with the judge's decision, they were.
