No, I suspect the brain dead individual was saying... (do you get the point?), The funny thing is that even if she was saying she wanted to die, she does not have the right. The fact that she said anything makes this whole thing nothing more than the government using the issue to increase its rights to kill civilians on technicality's.
If you were to do something stupid, like forget to set your parking brake and your actions caused someone else to die it would be called manslaughter and you could go to prison. If you were to pull the plug on some patient in the hospital to watch them die it would be called murder, and if you were to decide to pull the plug on a person for personal reasons, and go to the hospital to take them out it would be first degree murder.
In what way is this case different? Clearly first degree murder is being legalized right before the public, and congress is being limited by the judicial branch on its ability to set the law of the land.
Which, by the way, is the point of the whole issue. The Constitution has been nullified, the coup over the republic of America is complete. The Bastard branch of government is now in control. The one branch of government that never had the right to make laws, just made a law giving it right over your right to live, and set its right to kill far higher than any representative you may ever have to defend yourself.
Have a happy retirement, hope you do not become disabled, for man in America no longer has the right to life given by God, but your very right to live is at the whim of lawyers now.
That is why this simple murder case is such a dog and pony show.
So charming you are with the condescension. I'll go over it again: I doubt that she is capable of responding to anyone. If on the other hand she can respond, (i.e. not "brain dead") it is certainly not a given that she would ask to be kept alive through artificial means in an incapacitated state for another decade or two. Apparently it's hard for some here to imagine, but a lot of people would not want to live like that.
