but to protect a person's rights and to allow them to be exercised, then that's a government's purpose.

Exactly my point - the government is not to be in the business of killing non-dying people - Terri, you, me - anyone. It is not the business of government to kill citizens.

And a parent has a little more claim on a human than the government. Michael could have turned her over to loving parents and been done with it. The whole point is there is a 50% chance she wanted to die. We should err on the side of life - not death.

And - I want to know how these laws are being put in place. I will not stand for euthanasists deciding when I must die, when my husband must die, when my children must die. They do not have the authority and are not entitled to take away the constitutional rights of me and my family.

PERIOD. And for any of you out there thinking this is no problem - wake up. There will always be somebody that eyes your "goods" and would find you worthless to live.

The government has no right to be in the killing business as that over-rides the constitutional protections of those being killed.

We should err on the side of rights, not ignoring them?

We should err on the side of law, rather than lawlessness?
