Correct me if I'm wrong, but I thought the legislature passed some law, only to have it thrown out by (you guessed it) a judge with an agenda.

Not that I know of. If the Florida leg. wanted to write a law that says that food and water can only be withdrawn if a patient expresses it to ten different witnesses via carved stone tablets, then they certainly have the power to do so. They didn't. They'd like you to blame judges for the shortcomings of the law, but I suggest you don't buy it when voting time comes - they've pulled that "it's not our fault" business for far too long now, IMO.

Wrong. This is where you're showing the fundamental fallacy of your argument. The right to life is UNALIENABLE. Look up the definition, buddy. It means it CAN'T BE TAKEN AWAY. By anyone.

Murder by the state, the individual, and even self-murder are immoral. Every court ruling, every 'law' passed that allows it, is unconstitutional and a travesty of justice and our most fundamental law in this country.
