And that's important. There's a poster* in a different thread who asserted the Michael, as guardian, had not only the complete legal right but the moral duty to make the decision to kill Terri. But how could that be? What was seven years of litigation about?
The answer, of course, is that Michael had to get state permission to murder his wife. As you say, he needed help to do the killing. Guardianship per se is NOT a murder license and it's not a medical license.** People who say the state shouldn't interfere obviously have not seen Judge Greer's orders to execute Terri. The state DID interfere big time -- ironically, to prevent Terri's family from making private medical decisions.
(*I'm not going to ping him because I only want to borrow this example of a view held by many.)
(**Michael, with a lot of help from Greer, demonstrated that guardianship IS a slave-owning license and that problem, imo, will take a constitutional correction. It guts the 14th amendment.)
Thread from Liz
Scientists said they had found a plentiful source of stem cells that sidesteps the controversy over destroying human embryos.....Researchers at Wake Forest and Harvard reported stem cells drawn from amniotic fluid donated by pregnant women hold much the same promise as embryonic stem cells........they were able to extract the stem cells without harm to mother or fetus and turn their discovery into several different tissue cell types, including brain, liver and bone. "Our hope is that these cells will provide a valuable resource for tissue repair and for engineered organs....." said Dr. Anthony Atala, of Wake Forest.....

That's part of the talking points. There's more than one poster that makes that claim. You couldn't possibly ping them all.
