... and stomps all over the fact that Mrs. Schiavo was married to Mr. Schiavo and I don't want the government intervening in marriages.....

But, you have no problem with the government stomping all over the rights of parents wishing to keep a daughter that the government wants to kill.

You have no problem with the state killing a non-dying woman. Veeerrrrrry interesting..........

Frankly, I have a real problem with the state killing a non-dying person period. I have a problem with the state redefining the laws of end-of-life situations at their whim. Seems I would get to say when man can kill me you would think.

I have a problem with you telling me I am crazy because I do not wish the government someday telling me a daughter has to die because her husband said so.

I never said that at all!

This was between Mrs. Schiavo and her husband. The government didn't have to get involved that way at all, but that the Schindlers insisted. I'd rather they have stayed out...or at least once they'd decided, let it rest at that.

But if I were in the condition Mrs. Schiavo were in, and nobody else would intervene and fulfil my wishes, then yes, I'd like the government to do so. I don't like the government to intervene unbidden and stomp rights, but to protect a person's rights and to allow them to be exercised, then that's a government's purpose.

Can you elucidate the rights parents have concerning their married adult children?

Ah! I see. YOU get to say when man can kill you, but not Terri.

Why is that?
