The article also concluded with the mentioning that people dont want the govt sticking their noses into end of life decisions...that should be up for discussion as well..

It has been discussed. It has been discussed more on this thread than in the article, I'd guess.

Often there are threads discussing something completely unrelated to Terri Shiavo,

I don't think this thread should be required to "do penance" for all the other threads that "sinned."

It has more far reaching implications.

Of course it does. Maybe someone can post an article that would be a good jumping off point and start a more general thread.

Well then, the simplest solution is for you to discuss Terri Schiavo, and I will just discuss the more far reaching implications of govt intrusion on end of life matters, with just those posters who are interested in such...in that way, we both can discuss what we wish to, with those that we wish to...and all are happy...
