Tough situation. I don’t think anyone knows how they will react until confronted by that situation. When I have argued the Schaivo case with people who supported the husband, I have always pointed out that they, themselves, would not have wanted to be in Terri’s place. By putting themselves in her place, they decided to support his decision. The whole thing still grates on my sense of right and wrong.

Interesting, I was in an accident and was paralyzed from the neck down until they put me back together (they said it was permanent at first, didn't even admit that I might get a little better until feeling started coming back...)
I said at the time (Terri's time), I would have wanted someone to pull the plug long ago. I have a living will, if I am ever unconscious for six months with less that 90% chance of recovery, I left instructions to let me go on into my rest. So at least I am consistent when it comes to me being the one to go.
I had all sorts of people telling me I was a bad conservative and part of the "culture of death", they accused me of supporting abortion and all sorts of things, and I kept thinking, who are you guys? and who made you my judge...
