The courts (the state if you will) insinuated themselves into Terri's life and death.

No, the courts were asked by one party to determine a civil case. Nothing else. They were not 'insinuated' into anything.

I would surely hope that the law would do what it's supposed to do (protect us) and not step in and HELP someone kill me.

And I would surely hope the law, whatever the decision, when decided would be respected within the limitations of the Constitution, which means the Florida Supreme Court was the final arbitrator on the case.

So, if you think the state had a role to play, then what is wrong with those of us who disagree with their decision? Why are we all about the govermnet intervening in people's life but you're not? I smell hypocracy here....

Are you okay with a civil case that results in the death penalty for an innocent person who was not allowed any representation?
