...despite the fact that she had committed no crime.

Why do you continue to believe this is relevant? You've built up a whole set of loaded-word verbage to talk about this case. You've made it impossible for yourself to accept any disagreement because you are so emotionally dependent on your deluded understanding of it. You don't need to use the most outrageous hyperbole to make an argument.

To continue to insist this was an 'execution' you're showing the weakness of your argument. You could be reasonable in saying, "wow this was so horrible it reminds me of an execution", or "this has a lot of similarities with an execution". But you are wrong to state that it was an execution.

There are tens of thousands of similar cases where life support is pulled or 'extraordinary means' are stopped - do you contend all of these were also 'executions'?

Why do you continue to believe this is relevant?

I think the willful execution of an innocent woman is something that should be talked about. Besides, you're still here talking about it.

You've built up a whole set of loaded-word verbage to talk about this case.

Yeah, and you've avoided questions. Why don't you try answering some?

You've made it impossible for yourself to accept any disagreement because you are so emotionally dependent on your deluded understanding of it.

Has it ever occurred to you that you might be wrong?

You don't need to use the most outrageous hyperbole to make an argument.

Why don't you try answering some questions instead of avoiding them?

To continue to insist this was an 'execution' you're showing the weakness of your argument.

It was a court ordered death. Execution is another word for it.

If that statement is correct, then:
A- It is perfectly relevant and acceptable to talk about it, as it is a national ongoing disgrace.
B- "Extraordinary means" in medical practice now includes food and water.
C- if these deaths are caused and directed by court order despite family objections, then yes they are executions.

“Why do you continue to believe this is relevant?”

Uh, maybe because the justice system is designed to bring some measure of justice to society. The guilty, in theory, are punished, while the harmed are granted restitution.

In this case, the guilty were rewarded, and the innocent was punished, painfully.

“To continue to insist this was an ‘execution’ you’re showing the weakness of your argument.”

This is pathetic. Despite the fact that my original word was murder, and the fact that I have shown you that murder and execution are synonyms, you insist on clinging to your preferred single definition of execution. Looks pretty desperate to me.

Terri was not on extraordinary life support. She simply needed food and water, which her parents begged to give her. The court ORDERED them not to give her so much as a sip of water.

On top of that, they were frisked to make sure nothing interfered with this COURT-ORDERED EXECUTION OF AN INNOCENT DISABLED American.

One day you may be glad that a few of us actually care about life.

When they come for you, it just might be one of us standing between you and your court-ordered executioner.

Yes, whenever an innocent person is murdered, with or without the approval of the government, it is an EXECUTION.
