"You're still being very evasive about what you disagree with."

Evasive is not a word in my lexicon. For the third time, I disagreed with the author comparing Martin Pistorious' condition to that of Terri's Schiavo's. I felt it was an unfair comparison, and I said why.

"Is answering a yes or no question really that difficult?"

Nope. Simply irrelevant.

Your obvious ignorance of what the word evasive means in no way diminishes from the fact that your refusal to answer a yes or no question is evasive.

Nope. Simply irrelevant.

Really, you claimed, "I've forgotten more on this subject than you've ever learned," yet you cannot answer a simple question about whether it was right and/or legal to murder Terri?

Nope. Evasive.

Here is the conclusion to what the author wrote:

Recognizing our fallibility, society should err on the side of preserving innocent life. Conflicting hearsay and self-interested decision making should not suffice to end the life of another, as it did in the Terri Schiavo case. The consequences of being wrong are simply too great.

Now, conclusions to editorials are relevant by definition, so I will ask again:

Was dehydrating and starving Terri the right and/or legal thing to do?
YES or NO
