#4 - Let us murder you, so then we can apologize to your corpse
#31 - Terri wasn't dying in the first place, until the legal system got through with her.
#9 - ~...the principle of utility dominates~ Unless the person is useful, they are worthless.
#10 - Civil rights are a federal issue.
#11 - This is probably the only matter in history which the liberals think should have been decided by the states...
#12 - Condemned prisoners get federal judicial review on top of their state review. The governor of the state also has the power to grant clemency.
This is all that was asked when a person's blood relatives disagree with the spouse's decision to end a life. We're going to err on the side of keeping people alive when the correct course is uncertain.
Not exactly an earth shattering concept.
#13 - The effort to keep her alive proved unsuccessful and enormously unpopular with the public.-
That should be "unpopular with the uninformed public", and they were uninformed because the media misinformed them with the use of the term "vegetable".
One BIG #14 ~ one big happy oligarchy ~ BUMP!!
#15 - The propaganda by the mainstream media contributed to her death. Hard to believe how many people were brainwashed... ~ So many more people are being killed the same way without the headlines. She had no directives. She was murdered.
#16 - Exactly. And an incredible amount of misinformation has been spread about this case.
The fact is that Terri never indicated she wanted to die, much less be dehydrated. She never had a lawyer, and Greer denied her due process while catering to Michael Schiavo. The sadistic stunts Michael pulled on her and her family is too long to list.
