"Why is it that everyone talks about putting an animal out of its misery, but then wants to force fellow humans to suffer."

A person who destroyed a a sick animal by withholding food and water would be subject to charges of animal neglect and abuse. This woman is NOT a vegetable. Rehabilitative therapy has been deliberately withheld. Now she is deliberately being forced to die of starvation and dehydration ....an agonizing death. And this is just fine with you?

The staunchest supporter of the death penalty would not advocate that a cold-blooded killer be subjected to the death that Terri has been sentenced to, and she is guilty of no crime. There is evidence that she could eat on her own if allowed rehabilitative therapy. There is evidence that her husband may even be the reason she suffered injury in the first place and if that's the case, the state is giving him the means to finish the job and destroy the evidence, not to mention make a nice little profit on it. Is this okay with you too?

There seems to be a concentrated effort to block exposure of facts in this case. Could it be that there have been improprieties in high places that would come to light that no one is yet aware of? It has already been shown that there are clear conflicts of interest in play. Perhaps it is just possible that there is a deeper level of corruption at work as well, and there may be several people who at this point can't afford to take the chance that Terri might get better or that the truth might be revealed through closer scrutiny of the evidence.

I dunno. I can think of at least three cold-blooded killers who deserve such a death.
