No, I don't think it's OK to kill her. But, I think her previously expressed wishes should be honored.

The real question then is why you want to force a continued artificial sustance of her body, when she (her mind / most of her brain) is gone, and when she had expressed that she didn't want that?

That's the problem, other then MS and his brother there is no evidence that these are her wishes

Tell me, would you trust MS, or a pro-death lawyer like Felos or a liberal Judge like Geer with your life, especially after all that has happened and all that we do know?

I sure as heck don't

The real question then is why you want to force a continued artificial sustance of her body, when she (her mind / most of her brain) is gone, and when she had expressed that she didn't want that?

Do you have proof that her mind & body are gone?

has there been any therapy from an independent doctor/medical team in the last 10 years to say she can not function?

No there hasn't

So why the rush to kill her and starve her to death??

AND if there was proof that she expressed these wishes .. I may not like it .. but I could except it.

The point is .. if we do not know for sure .. we should side on the caution of life and not death.

Once we cross that line, it will be a very scary place for this country and not a road that we should go down.

So I will ask you the same question Glen Beck asked MS's brother

Glenn: Do we, as americans, starve handicapped people to death?
Steve Schaivo: Yes, if the court calls for it.

And where is your 'proof' that wanting to die is her previously expressed wish?

The real question then is why you want to force a continued artificial sustance of her body, when she (her mind / most of her brain) is gone, and when she had expressed that she didn't want that?

More of your basing one untruth on another. Artifical sustenance. You mean being FED?

When her mind is gone? You know for sure her brain is gone? Where did you get that info, from Michael again? Even he admitted she is not brain-dead.

We also have no evidence she ever previously expressed any kind of wishes like that. All we know is Michael claims to remember her saying something about not wanting to be hooked up to machines --- and she isn't hooked up to machines. Several possibilities ---- maybe she said it and he remembers --- over 14 years ago, maybe he just thought he remembered her saying something like that, maybe someone else said it and he mixed that person saying it with Terri saying it, maybe knows she never said it. We have no way of knowing which ---- because she never felt strongly enough about the issue to put it in writing ---- or even tell her family.
