Again you are assuming she has a mind and can reason.
Nobody knows. just assumes.
The right to make personal family medical decisions as I am advocating is not socialist. Socialism is those imposing their will to prohibit people from making personal medical decisions as you are supporting.
Thus I am against your stand.

If Terri had a living will then I would have never even entered into this debate. The simple fact is, she didn't. I'm not imposing my views. She has a right to life. It's that simple. We cannot ignore the fact that here is a severely disabled woman who obviously interacts with her family. We have no right to insist on her death if she hasn't got a living will. Have you never been around anyone who was disabled in this fashion? She reminds me so much of the children I've worked with on occasion. These people have dignity, although you don't seem to care too much about giving them that.

If nobody knows then we should always assume the worst case and kill the patient. Right? Nobody knows, really, whether you are a secret murderer or thief so you should be imprisoned on the possibility that you are?
