Oh, and "against their will".........
We don't have proof of Terri's will. As someone mentioned when Terri was 26 and supposedly made that statement, food and water were not considered "medical treatment" so she never - ever - made a decision about food and water.
And, this whole discussion has not been about those who have stated in writing of their wishes - this is about the state using the "claimed" non-written statement of her wishes and with a 50/50% chance of error, erring on the side of death rather than the side of life.
We are not forcing any of the victims to do anything. We are preventing the willful decision by others that they must die (so as not to waste resources, etc, etc., etc.).
It's true that we don't have absolute proof of Terri's wishes, but we do have compelling evidence that she probably would have preferred to live. We have Michael's own testimony in court stating that he wanted to become a nurse to fulfull his oath to Terri that he would take care of her for the rest of his life. Funny how the WPPFF takes Michae's other statements as gospel, but they don't believe any of his testimony in favor of Terri.
