Terri's state of health, no matter how you "FEEL" about it, at NO time justified her torture and murder.
Starving and dehydrating someone to death is by definition, torture and murder. Try doing it to a DOG and you'll (rightfully) be jailed. Do it to a human being, and the perp walks, while folks like newzjunkey cheer. How messed up is that?
I found the article quite uplifting as well, I just got a bit sidetracked. My apologies.
