No, you understood what I said.
(And I am not advocating the action, merely pointing it out)
The simple fact is that, The way it stands Someone is going to die.
Now, If you were a parent,and you knew that someone had the actual declared intent to kill, and was in fact in the process of killing your child, would using deadly force in defence of that child be the appropriate thing to do ?
of course it would. Then because of the unusual dynamic of this case, the Mother would be Terri's next of Kin, ensuring her survival.
The Father would have to stand trial, and I would venture to say, with the right Medical Testimony, by the time he got to trial, you would have to get a jury convened among the Editorial editors at the NYTimes, to obtain a conviction.

With all due respect, I don't think that applies to this situation. It would be equally as wrong as what is happening now, in my opinion, to take that course.
