And a protracted discussion about Terri Schiavo would achieve what exactly? We disagree. Most people would not want to live years in the state she was in.

I would have thought the autopsy would have settled this.

Perhaps it would enlighten some about why respect for innocent human life is not just a dry political or philosophical discussion, but that these decisions affect real people and their families.

We disagree.

Yep.

Most people would not want to live years in the state she was in.

People live with the blessings or the burdens they are given. Young, healthy individuals often say exactly what you've said above, and yet, when people find themselves incapacitated to varying degrees, they find that their own lives still have meaning and worth.

It's a shame that you find such people to be worthless, and feel that you have the right to decide which lives have meaning and which don't.

In the America I've always known, those decisions were God's, not man's...not the state's.
