Surely the cause you would carry on in Terri's name has some deeper point to make than how much you hate Michael Schiavo.

My feelings for Michael Schiavo are not personal. I feel the same way about Scott Peterson, Tookie Williams, Susan Smith, Karla Harmolka(sp), and anyone else who murders innocent people. I especially loathe those who get away with it. How do feel about OJ?

Any cause I may have is that people should be educated about emerging views within the courts and medical community, regarding the rights of those unable to speak for themselves. Just because they can't scream, don't think you can read their minds.

Ah - there you go... isn't that a ~much~ better cause than "Michael Schiavo is a baaaad maaaan".

I don't presume to read the mind of anyone... But I can't speak for everyone... on either side of this issue. But you're right that issues of medical and family ethics, human frailty and death will likely to continue to be subjects of much debate for years to come.
