On the surface, anyway, you seem to be circumspect, although it would be more appropriate, perhaps, to state your own opinions rather than point to some rule that you seem to think, although erroneously, I had broken.

Charles Krauthammer expressed in an article that he himself would not want to live in a persistant vegetative state, and would prefer to be "euthanized" (to use your own word here). Would Dr. Krauthammer's thoughts be unwelcome here? Would this be forced euthanasia?

Now, I could be wrong, because frankly I wasn't there when she said it, or when he said that she said it. I can tell you that it was my understanding from reports in the news that he said she said it. You weren't there either, I assume. However, because Dr. Krauthammer said it, because I said it (I would want them to pull the plug on me under similar circumstances), because so many others I know have said it (from all creeds and walks of life), I can only assume that if he says she said it, then she said it. (Man, that last sentence... sorry about that). Oh yeah, and if I were in Iraq as a soldier, which I am not, I would practice "forced euthanasia" on a few terrorists. How is that for violating principles, eh?

You may very well be in the minority, with others who would rather be tortured to death than live with disabilities. That does not prove that Terri requested to be tortured to death. As a matter of fact, the rumors you read in the press have nothing to do with the court records. If you took the time to read the court records, you would know that no one ever alleged that Terri had requested to be euthanized under any circumstances. You would also know that every doctor who testified (even those who were hired by Michael to testify against Terri) all agreed that she did not meet the qualifications for a determination of PVS according to Florida law.

So I ask you once again to answer the question that you brought up. How did Michael honor Terri's wishes? According to his own sworn testimony, as well as everyone else's, those were not her wishes.
