Apart from moral and legal concerns an important principle is at stake. That principle is a medical one. Is a person who requires a feeding tube open to being legally disposed of?

This woman is not in a vegetative state, no one really knows her level of consciousness/awareness and she surely is not dying.

What the courts have decided to do is to actively end this woman's life. This what the case should be decided upon by the Federal Courts. That is, can a district court judge sentence a person to death who cannot communicate their wishes in the matter of life or death? Why this is not the question, I do not know.

The courts have run amok for too long. Sooner or later actions will be required to restore the three equal branches of government. One does not need a religious reason to actualize this necessity, only a constitutional guarantee against run away judges enforcing their preconceived morality on all.
