I'm about as conservative as they come, but I refuse to give anyone but the one I chose..my wife, my wife and my wife, the authority to determine my fate should I be that incapacitated.
Here is my fear if we open this door...
Picture Hillary Clinton in office and a dem congress. It is decided something must be done about the blood shortage in this country so the Feds decide to "tap" every comatose patient in the country. Keeping them alive just to feed the blood banks.
Don't think it can't happen. If you give the feds the ultimate decision, they will USE it!

See the following, a sworn statement from a girlfriend of the estranged husband:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Regarding that alleged conversation [that Terri supposedly said she would want to die in such a situation] -- Cindy Shook said that Michael Schiavo said:
"How the hell should I know, we never spoke about this, we were young."

"I agree what you just said, so now we want to throw it open all the way????

Actually, I think our views on this issue are quite similar, but the examples of this case make it almost impossible for the fed gov. not to get involved.
Here we have a husband that is so questionable about this motives I think 9 out of 10 would agree that he is not standing for his wife, but for himself instead. We have a liberal judge not ruling on the facts of this case, and the dems holding it against this women that she lives in FL.
IMO (which means nothing in this case) This case is more about the hate/payback of George Bush and Jeb than it is about Terri.
I guess my emotions in this case are louder than my fear of "what's next", which is not good.
It scares me that one judge has the power do push a country into such a divide.
How does killing someone protect their life, liberty, or property?
