Dershowitz doesn't want Terri to die. Here's an excerpt of a transcript from the 3/23 Scarborough show:

ALAN DERSHOWITZ, AUTHOR, “RIGHTS FROM WRONGS”: Well, the legal situation is, whether you approve of it or not that, the court has ruled that this is the young woman’s choice, that she has made a decision to die and they are simply enforcing her will.

My own view, if I were writing the Florida law, would be very different. I would say that the statement of one person reported by one other person, not in writing...

SCARBOROUGH: Hearsay.

DERSHOWITZ: ... should not be enough to overcome the presumption of life, that you have plenty of time, all of eternity to be dead, and only a short time to live.

And I would agree with President Bush that you should always err on the side of life. I wish he took the same view in capital punishment cases when he had been governor of Florida (sic), but not everybody is consistent.
