We should not base life-and-death decisions on "maybes".

That is why we have courts to settle disputes like this. This has been to court 23 times - and counting. The supreme court - twice!

Her doctors say she is a vegetable, the husband says she would not want to live like that. The courts - over and over again - have upheld this.

Just because the courts have said it, does not make it right. Have you ever heard of Nazi Germany? It is never right to starve someone to death, no matter what the courts say.

Is this the same husband who was cheating on Terri even before her supposed "accident" and is this the same husband who is going to inherit a ton of money when he starves his wife to death?

In 1821, Jefferson Wrote:

The germ of dissolution of our federal government is in...the federal judiciary; an irresponsible body (for impeachment is scarcely a scare-crow) working like gravity by night and by day, gaining a little today and a little tomorrow, and advancing its noiseless step like a thief, over the field of jurisdiction, until all shall be usurped from the States.

Jefferson knew how dangerous the judiciary was.
