................Terri Schiavo had no say in her famous death because she neither could speak for herself nor prepared a living will prior to her still-unexplained collapse in 1990 that led to her brain injury.
Michael Schiavo ultimately prevailed in the 12-year court battle. Probate Judge George Greer issued the death warrant Schiavo sought by not only ordering the removal of the feeding tube surgically attached to Terri's stomach, but also by barring the oral administration of so much as an ice chip. Greer effectively ordered Terri to death by be dehydration and starvation for an agonizing 13 days.
Terri's death defines her. In a way, we are all defined by our death. All of us desire to have a "good death." What this means depends upon the world view to which we subscribe..............................
Did Terri die for the greater good?

While Barack Obama is disengaging himself from some of the sulfurously disuniting remarks of his former pastor, Jeremiah Wright, he has shown in a February debate with Hillary Clinton — his own disturbing ignorance of why disability-rights communities across the nation so vigorously protested the official starvation and dehydration of disabled Terri Schiavo. I described this as "the longest public execution in American History."
When moderator Tim Russert asked Mrs. Clinton and Mr. Obama if "there are any words or votes that you'd like to take back... in your careers in public service," Mr. Obama answered that in his first year in the Senate, he joined an agreement "that allowed Congress to interject itself (in the Schiavo case) into the decision-making process of the families." Mr. Obama added: "I think that was a mistake, and I think the American people understood that was a mistake. And as a constitutional law professor, I knew better." When he was a professor of constitutional law, Mr. Obama probably instructed his students to research and know all the facts of a case.
The reason Congress asked the federal courts to review the Schiavo case was that the 41-year-old woman about to be dehydrated and starved to death was breathing normally on her own and was not terminal. There was medical evidence that she was responsive, not in a persistent vegetative state.................

No, Terri's LIFE and LEGACY defines her.
Terri's death defines how apathetic and heartless a large portion of society has become.
Can the people who stood by either uncaring or supportive of Terri's death by rationalizing that she had "due process" claim ANY moral superiority to the Germans who lived in the towns surrounding Auschwitz and rationalized that it was "none of their business" why the cattle cars arrived around the clock and the stench from the fires grew stronger?
TERRI DIED BECAUSE SHE WAS MURDERED. What else do we need read into it. There’s no doubt though that she is a strong, role model. She fought the hardest in Terri’s Fight to live but surrounded by a POLICE STATE even in her isolation, there was nothing Terri could do. Now if they put that kind of law enforcement on the border instead of conspiring to commit murder for their paychecks (EXTRA DUTY PAY, didn’t they volunteer for TERRI DEATH PATROL?) we’d have no problems with illegal immigration.
