If you think dying over 13 days is bad, try living for 15 years in a hospital bed without the ability to interact with your loved ones.

You have absolutely zero understanding of what it would be like for those 15 years since you haven't experienced it. So stop preening and lecturing like you know what you're talking about. You might THINK you wouldn't want to live that way; most leftists, being natural cowards, are downright afraid of something like that so it's understandable. But you should know that not everyone in the world is a leftist or a coward and could perservere through it happening either to them or a loved one. Some people have more determination and will than cowardly leftists.

I agree, just as you have no idea what it would be like and whether death would be a welcomed end or a struggle she fought tooth and nail against. You have as little understanding about Terri's state as I do. That is why the courts were left to decide based on the facts of the case.

Any woman as strong as Terri who suffered for 15 years in the state she was in would have very little trouble dealing with 13 days of starvation/dehydration.

Many disabled people are actually quite contented with the life that God has left them to leave. Some are happier than individuals in good health, presumably such as yourself.

More name calling from a so-called religious person.
This was not your decision to make. It was her husbands decision and was backed by many many years of litigation. I do not support his decision, but it was his to make unless it could be proven in a court of law that he was not a proper guardian.
