This entire case smells.

Why is such a headlong rush to end this poor womens life, why has her husband denied her the extra care, why has her husband been living with another women, who has his child, while his wife is still alive, why is there no additional investigation into the new evidence being discovered.

WHY IS THIS WOMENS LIFE SO MEANINGLESS TO THE LEGAL SYSTEM?

We statred down lifes meaningless when we started murdering babies for money.

I'm starting to think that Terri knows something. This could be why her husband wants her dead. This case smells to high heaven...

You may not be aware of just how correct you are here.

Some of the initial rulings on people like Terri used Roe vs Wade as a basis. It's the right to privacy, you see.

"Judge Stephen Reinhardt, one of America's most liberal jurists and a champion of homosexual rights, wrote the majority opinion in Compassion in Dying v. State ofWashington. "A competent, terminally ill adult, having lived nearly the full measure of his life, has a strong liberty interest in choosing a dignified and humane death rather than being reduced to a childlike state of helplessness, diapered, sedated, incompetent." The underlying assumption is both prejudiced and dangerous: people who are aged, disabled or infirm would be better off choosing (and by implication, should choose) to be killed.

Reinhardt based his decision on Planned Parenthood vs. Casey, the U.S. Supreme Court decision which afforded "constitutional protection to personal decisions relating to marriage, procreation, contraception, family relationships, child rearing, and education."

Because she is disabled. And because there have been many people before her who were killed for the same reason. Read some of the links on my FR page if you would like to learn about them.

I especially recommend The Starving of Hugh Finn
But a lot of the other stories are equally riveting.
