If he had starved a dog there may be of been more outrage from your side.

Dogs may be euthanized legally. Humans may not.

Furthermore, dogs don't make verbal statements refusing forced feeding. False analogies are just that, apples and oranges.

As I said, good people disagree on this issue.

Obviously, you like to use inflammatory rhetoric and name calling. Good luck getting converts to your side.

Floridians rejected your viewpoint. Jeb Bush can't even find a Republican sponsor to introduce a bill banning verbal requests for withdrawal of feeding tubes.

Euthanized, yes. Denied food and water, no. We republished the Pinellas cruelty-to-animals statutes several times to make the point that Terri was treated worse than any other creature.

So, she COULD talk after all. That certainly destroys the notion that she was PVS.
