I advocate nothing more than Courts stand by the laws enacted by the legislatures, that if these laws are found unacceptable by the people, then the people should elect legislatures who would craft more acceptable laws for the Courts to base their decisions on.

And more importantly...I advocate for the right of family members, spouses included, to reach life and death decisions, within the letter of the law, for their loved ones without the meddling interference of politicians and complete strangers.

But by all means don't look at the courtocrats behind the curtain!

Also why shouldn't the law allow for your "private family decisions" to be made with a bullet to the head? If you can deify bare naked law, then literally anything can go.

"the right of family members, spouses included, to reach life and death decisions,"

But here there was a major disagreement between family members, which would have deserved a serious look.

I agree with that to a point. There are exceptions to every rule, so to speak.

I agree that it is the right of each living person to have his or her wishes followed regarding life or death decisions as long as the decision is an informed one and not made by others under "suspicious circumstances". I do not believe Terri's statement, if she did make such a statement, was an informed one nor do I believe Michael Shiavo's actions were based Terri's best interests. I base this opinion on several factors not a single one of them my "feelings".

Are you aware that, in 2003, when michael had Terri's feeding tube pulled, that Jeb went to the legislature and they passed "Terri's Law" that made them put the tube back in - on the 6th day.

Now -there was your legislative law, legally passed.

Later, Greer threw it out!

Judges have no right to throw out or make laws. That's for the legislature.

Judges are to enforce the law - not negate them
