We the people of the United States of America now are guilty of allowing this kind of death sentence to be carried out – not against murders, rapists and child molesters, but on some of the most disabled in our midst.

I am a "people of the United States of America," and I totally reject this characterization of me as a murderer. The right to end one's own life is the most basic right one has (arguably the ONLY real right one has).

It is not her decision, it is being done by another for profit, Her care givers have stated she has yelled for help when made aware of what was being done. This is cruelty beyond measure by our society for allowing such a thing to happen.

If SHE made the decision, I would agree, but this decision is being made for her, apparently by a man who forgot his vows (in sickness and in health) and is all too eager to get rid of her.

She is not ending her own life. Her husband has chosen to end it for her.

This pending murder of Terri Schiavo makes shreds of George H.W. Bush's "Americans with Disabilities Act." What another misnamed piece of "legislation."

Where is John Ashcroft? He says he is "prolife."

This horror also makes a popular unopposed state circuit judge in FL more powerful than any other politician in America.

I think the American people will be the last to figure out what is happening here.

the {right-to-die} most basic right one has

Hardly, only God is supposed to decide the time of one's death. This innocent woman has asked repeatedly by her actions that she be able to live. Her only crime was to marry the wrong man. If the shoe were on the other foot, and a liberal like you were to be starved to death, I suspect you would suddenly "get religion."

Does someone else have the right to decide you want to end your life- without your consent?
