She does have the papers in her hands, which convey her wishes. Her Baptism papers, her confirmation papers and her Marriage Cerificate. All of these papers publically convey her wishes to be a part of the Catholic Church. The Catholic Church which condemns suicide, euthanasia, and removal of feeding tubes.
Terri's wishes to be a part of this church were witnessed by many witnesses. She never renounced her membership.
This is implied consent to the teachings of that church.
The State does not have the right to force Terri to do anything against her declared religious beliefs.
Good point. Thene the Pope, or at least the Archbishop for that district needs to consider (quickly!) to take some kind of appeal action on her behalf against the Civil Authorities on these religious rights/faith grounds.
that is crystal clear to me.
Perhaps the schindlers can show those baptismal and confirmation papers as you suggest there to show her end of life wishes when they are on Larry King Live tonight. Everyone's moaning that she didn't leave it. I love that approach . . . Prayers for their continued strength at this most difficult time.
That is very nice! Great job! Only improvement I would suggest, is a spell check! I typed too fast and didn't check my spelling!
