Terri Schiavo is a US citizen. She has committed no crime. She has a constitutional right to life. Congress is trying to pass a bill to try to get to the truth. Opponents are worried about separation of powers. When you think that power should trump the truth, you are not democratic. You're something much worse.

I don't know for sure the truth of this situation. It has been hard to discern from all the reports that come on FR in the last year or so. I think, as myself being a guardian of a severly handicapped person, there is something fishy about this whole business. We need to get to the truth before putting someone to death. I watch with interest.

I was in your position as well, and can smell STINK, like you can, a mile away. BIG STINK. Let's get to the TRUTH before KILLING a woman who is not even on life support.

WHY would that be so unreasonable to ANYONE who values life? What's the damn rush? Where's the damn FIRE?

Personally, I am sick and tired of the government using my constitutional rights (which are supposed to put limits on the government) as government justifications for invading every facet of my life!!!

Those people championing this national law will rue the day it happened.

Most will eventually deny they supported. Give it a year.

There will be people hooked up to machines suffering and have no way for the individual they lived their life with to allow them to pass peacefully.

This law will now turn your final days into extended agony where only the state will decide when you die.

Terri has a constitutional right to life, not a constitutional obligation to the state - allowing it the right to preserve her existence to its whim.
