billbears was absolutely correct when he said "Stop looking at the Constitution as a list of rights. It was only intended as a document stating the limitations of the federal government".

The Constitution is not now and has never been a list of rights. Just because you don't see a right listed in the Constitution doesn't mean that it isn't a right.

If you don't believe me, perhaps you'll believe the Founders? They made their position quite clear:

Amendment IX
The enumeration in the Constitution, of certain rights, shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people.

One would think that would be clear enough. Go figure.

Until you can show me just where in the Constitution it says there is a right to die (which is the issue here, not what you think the Constitution says or does not say), maybe you should sit down and shut up.

Michael and co. did not have a right to kill Terri. Period. End of discussion.
