Yes, relativism has taken its toll.

What is true for you, may not be true for you.

Thank your secular humanists and leftist universities.

They are busily churning out more of this.

Someone posted his credentials on another thread last night,they are extensive and impressive.
By the way I doubt your little nomination story.
I am sure it involves more then writing your own letter to the Nobel Prize Committee otherwise you would have thousands upon thousands of same running around.

The affadavit was dated prior to the date of the exam, according to another poster.

Allowing someone to starve is one thing...Forcing one to starve is quite another...

Funny, I don't see the distinction. At the end of the day, you end up with a dead person, either through malfeasance or nonfeasance. Whichever, if you allowed it to happen, you are morally culpable.

We ARE reaping what we have sewed.

One judge making a bad decision is one thing...but when you have five separate courts reach the same conclusion, then the conspiracies need to be laid to rest.

In other words, legislative and executive branches be damned. Judiciary rules! Is that right? Otherwise I don't understand your point.

Peter Singer's ghastly new world of human utilitarianism appears to be dawning in America.

Exactly.

[WhistlingPastTheGraveyard]

Michael Schiavo should be executed.

The man is pure evil.

The fact that so many refuse to see him for the monster he is is mind-boggling... and scary.

[Delphinium]

All Judges should be elected just like politicians so they could be held accountable for their decisions.

I agree but even that is debatable. I sure wouldn't want them to give in the liberal political pressure either.They should be held accountable to upholding their oath of office, which is to uphold the "Constutution".

I should not have commented on Florida, it was off the subject. I know their are many wonderful Christian people there.

Where are you hosting your "Hooray, she's dead party?"

[Kitty D]

I am very,very skeptical of polls, I think the liberal media knows exactly who to go to, to get the poll results they need and therefore influence public opinion. We only have to remember the infamous exit polls. I do not believe the majority of Americans getting the true facts of this case would want this woman killed. However you wrap it up that's what it would be.

[MarMema]

Good questions!

[penowa]

If Michael is like a lot of men that murder their wives, if the next one would want a divorce like Terri did, she'll have some dreadful accident too. I'm speaking about the ones that get a pass on the first murder and sometimes even the second because they move (usually) but when the next murder occurs, law enforcement is suspicious enough about the circumstances of the case they are working on to check into his past and discover the pattern and that law enforcement had their doubts but brought no charges as they had no proof. He's young and since he's about to pull of the "perfect murder," it should not be surprising if we hear of him again.

Does your right to self determination include your spouse trying to kill you by insulin injection, and failing that to starve you to death?

I am hoping you misunderstood me. I believe the right of self determination means just that. In this case, in the absence of a written or clear directive, I believe that the burden of evidence is on the side of any who say she wouldn't want to live. Further, I believe that evidence should meet the same threshold required in a criminal proceeding. The presumption of innocence is no different to me than the presumption of life.

"Even the Congressperson who "nominated" him has told him to stop making the claim."

Got a link to that?

[2nd amendment mama]

The leftists amaze me - I thought they would have made Terri a poster person for fetal stem cell research to restore her brain. /sarcasm

Yup - you would have thought that. If this were a convicted cop-killer or serial murderer you would have seen a bunch of "pro-life/anti death penalty" advocates like Sarandon, Sheen and the rest of the hollyweird clan out in front of whatever facility screaming about justice and civil rights violations.

Some of the techie people on DU know how to go around that by doing some sort of deletion of their cookies.

Those online polls are not the ones referenced by the media. They use scientific (i.e., random selection) polls. But they're soliciting opinions from folks who know few if any details of this case.

[Military family member]

This is uncalled for. Just because an opinion differs from you is no reason to resort to personal attacks.

[SURI]

MY GOD !

I just listened to the sworn testimony of Nurse Carla Sauer Iyer on FOX news.

Terri IS being murdered. No Question. The nurse comes across as a total truth teller, and she says Terri has been shuffled toward death intentionally.

I beleieved her as I listened,

My God...
