"the courts have ruled she is in a persistent vegetative state"

And it is clearly a lie. Just like the courts have ruled that a fetus is not a person. Also a lie. So at what point do you take a stand and say that the courts are out of line and have overstepped their authority? When they say that the Down's syndrome child is not a person and can be killed, or quadraplegics such as Christopher Reeve, or maybe not until a kid down the street from you is hit by a truck and the court rules that he is no longer a person because he won't ever be able to walk again and can't speak quite as clearly as before. Or maybe you are one of those people who will afford godhood to the courts until they come for a healthy grandchild of yours because she/he is the wrong gender or is born with a genetic predispositon to some illness.

I am not saying that I believe you to be that kind of person. I don't. But I do think that these cases have serious implications for our future and the future of our children and grandchildren and what I see are the conditions of pre-Nazi Germany which should not be tolerated by freedom loving people, especially Christians, at any level.

Whether it is a lie as to whether Terri is in a persistent vegetative state is something that's outside the court order and court rulings. And I was discussing the court order and court rulings. The Schindlers have tried their best to get the ruling that Terri is in a persistent vegetative state reversed, but have been unsuccessful. Their lawyers have said, in essence, there's nothing more they can do, that they've exhausted all legal options. The only thing they are litigating is whether Michael Schiavo can have Terri cremated.

When I watched Terri's sister and brother on Fox last night, they came close to saying they intend on suing Schiavo and others in a wrongful death suit, so I can only guess the litigation over Terri won't be over for a long time.
