"The Court started the euthanasia 'ball' rolling with its 1965 Griswold v. Connecticut decision, in which it defined for the first time a mythical 'privacy right' that had somehow escaped the notice of the entire system of government for two centuries. This decision held that married couples should have unrestricted access to artificial contraceptives."

"This privacy 'right' was extended drastically in the Court's 1973 Roe v. Wade decision legalizing abortion. And now, the 'right to privacy' is being used to obtain euthanasia on demand."

But it is my understanding that the USSC has not ruled on euthanasia procedures per se but left that (unlike abortion) to the states. So, it is state law that now allows horrors like that in Clearwater, FL. The USSC did rule in the Cruzan case that "clear and convincing evidence" from the victim was needed to starve and dehydrate a disabled person. Of course, there is no such "evidence" in Terri's case: only what George W. Greer and George J. Felos dictate.
