Why would it have been wrong to honor her desire to live?

It is nothing more than your baseless opinion -- the opinion of a person who never knew Terri -- that she wanted to live under these circumstances. The court ruled that there was clear and convincing evidence that this was NOT her wish.

You claim to want to honor her desires, but you reject out of hand that she might actually have wanted not to be kept alive in this manner.

Your opinion is baseless and you have a fear of feeding tubes. That seems to be your theme for the night.

You keep insisting that I should include the part where the judge erroneously rules that you agree with his decision to murder you. So, okay, the judge orders you starved and dehydrated to death, and he claims that you want it that way, in spite of the fact that you don't. Now, answer the question. Do you still support his right to impose his will on you, or do you only support his right to impose his will on others, so long as his will is your will?

Courts are NEVER wrong?

Off-the-cuff-comments are NOT CLEAR and CONVINCING evidence.

That Terri was in PVS is a fact in dispute. Some doctors said she was, others said she wasn't. The last doctor to diagnose her on the fifth day of starvation/dehydration, was from the DCF, the least biased of all the doctors who saw Terri, and he diagnosed her as semi-concsious.

People on your side of the debate, have always argued your position as if Terri, after considerable thought and careful consideration, placed her wishes in writing; there were no questions as to how she came to be in her condition, (as if it happened in a car accident);all doctors were in agreement about her physical state; and her faithful husband who was not residing with another woman with whom he had two children, and having not won a malpractice law suit for over a million dollars, realized after a couple of years, that she was in the very situation she wouldn't want to live in, and lovingly and valiantly fought to obtain her wishes.

If the above were the situation, your position would have merit. However, the above was not the case. Your position, which ignored the red flags, inconsistencies and disputed facts in the matter, is completely and utterly dishonest and totally lacking in merit and judgement. Your concern about the issue is wholly and completely about your own desrie not to live in a PVS state. It was never for a tiny moment about Terri.

Furthermore, it took 7 years before anyone was concerned about the fact that Terri had a feeding tube. AND as I have repeated so often in this forum, at the time, Terri supposedly made her statements, feeding tubes were NOT an issue. Thus, it is highly unlikely she had an opinion about them let alone voiced one.
