Well, I hope youre not one of those who howled for the state to intervene in the Terri Schiavo case... after all... she chose her husband, she got an eating disorder, and whatnot...
I wanted the State to stay the heck out of it. Terri told her husband what she wanted and that is what should have been done. I don't want the State to intervene to determine what it thinks is best for me. But I have a living will and all that to make sure my desires are crystal clear (as does my wife). I eventually gave up on those therads. The handful of us who saw exactly what was happening were always yelled down by those who put their feelings before the law and the facts.
The autopsy determined she did not have an eating disorder. The state intervened by ordering her death. But if the facts don't serve your purpose, by all means, just lie. It's what you people do.
