It is so hard to believe that so many laws are allowed to be broken at the hands of the judicial system. It is a sad day in America when the courts are allowed to commit murder. Where is the public outrage. This is a very sick society.
But we should hope for it anyway...cause I think %$$#^&*(& Michele Finn sure put a big hole in the idea of intervention from the governor. And what is left, imo, is divine intervention, Which does happen.
I don't mean to sound like a pessimist but all the talk radio shows in the world are not going to stop the courts from running this show.
To me the most sad thing seems to be that if Terri were in Michigan, she would not be able to be killed. Which is why the federal govt needs to be involved. Whether you can be starved or not should not be about which state you are injured in and reside in. But it is most certainly about that now, with Michele Finn and Pete Busalacchi both making moves to other states in order to kill their family members.
Actually they are not being broken, They are being MADE, case by case.
Each time one of these cases goes to the Supreme Court, and the person is killed, afterward the state amends it's natural death act - to include more leniency, etc.
In Colorado right now you have only 7 days to emerge from a coma or you can be killed by your family. Hey, one week or say goodbye. geeze, talk about rushing these people out the door.
At the same time, interestingly enough, both the UK and New Zealand are in the process of making it illegal to starve or dehydrate a person, even if they are terminally ill and desire it.
