Just found this at
http://www.dredf.org/assistedsuicide.html "...if someone has a chronic illness that is not terminal, that individual is not eligible for assisted suicide under any proposal in the U.S., nor under the Oregon Death with Dignity Act (Oregon is the only state where assisted suicide is legal). Furthermore, any individual whose illness has brought about depression that affects the individual’s judgment is also ineligible, according to every U.S. proposal as well as Oregon’s law."
I'm wondering if---assuming (as we don't) that Terri DID make some statement to MS about right to die---it should be considered a remark made by a person suffering depression (as over the demise of her grandmother), and therefore a remark of less weight.

Search of their site found nothing for "Schiavo."
