When someone becomes incapacitated without having written health care directives, does that person lose all their rights as a U.S. Citizen, who has a disability who can't speak but can communicate? Terri's brother was on Greta Van Sustenance tonight. It was their dad's birthday tonight. They had a birthday party in Terri's room. She was smiling. She's a human being. They want to kill her. There is nothing constitutional about that. Terri's constitutional rights outweigh any arguments regarding the separation of powers. That is my opinion if you combine the Constitution, the Bill of Rights, the Civil Rights Act.

Greta was really bothered by the whole starvation-dehydration directives. Her guests were friends of Felos imo who opined after Terri's brother was on.

If there was a birthday party in Terri's hospice room, did they get to feed her some ice cream by spoon? Guess not

While online, I'm taping Fox. Will view it after this last post for tonight.

In searching, I came up with an October 27, 1999 pbs.org page - a debate in the U.S. House on assisted suicide.

The very last comment by Rep. David Schuman (who is pro Death With Dignity): "The question isn't whether or not this is something that is appropriate for Congress to do or something that would be a good policy decision on the part of Congress. The question is whether or not Congress has the constitutional authority to do it. And the way the Supreme Court has recently been interpreting Congress's authority under Article 1 of the Constitution, this isn't within it."

IMHO, we do NOT want Congress dictating whether we live or die, or how. And it's not a good idea to try to get the U.S. Supreme Court involved.
