That isn't your decision to make; that is a decision that is the right of each person to make for themselves.

Suicide is illegal.

Cancer patients must be forced to undergo chemotherapy? Cardiac patients must be forced to undergo bypass surgery?

Excuse me? Aren't those conditions terminal? I said:You can only refuse treatment if you're dying. Terri had NONE of those diseases or any other.

Nevertheless, her wish to not be artificially kept alive this way should be respected

On the word of 3 Schiavos. One of which, apparently had a great deal to gain.

Suicide is illegal.

Irrelevant. Refusing medical treatment doesn't constitute 'suicide'.

Excuse me? Aren't those conditions terminal?

Define 'terminal'. A few weeks? A few months? A few years? Someone could reject a heart bypass, and still live for years.

On the word of 3 Schiavos.

You've already made it clear that you wouldn't respect her wishes even if she made them explicitly clear to you. So the question of who she told is likewise irrelevant.
