Euthanasia is legal in every state in the Union. Terri is already one among many.

Then why is Kavorkian sitting in prison?

No, not as such. Not against their clear will. They got away with this because Terri could not respond clearly, but I beleive she clearly did not want to die.

If there is a legal living will, if there is agreement that they are PVS, if their is agreement amongst all the family regarding their wishes...that would be one thing (actually, three things). I still do not agree with it, but would not fight it like this. But in this case you had none of those things. A judge ruled, in the absence of clear, unimpeachable, beyond a reasonable doubt evidence, on two of those things...and then it was backed up by appeals courts all the way up the line, ignoring the legislative and executive branches at every turn. That is the travesty.

They forced euthenasia on this woman and that something we must, IMHO, stand four square against recoil from.
