I have no problem with religious people that keep their beliefs to themselves. Stop telling people how to live and I have no problem with them. The instant they start dictating what other people should be doing, the gloves come off.

moural, the context of your question is a bit broad. This woman has been in this condition for 15 years. We can't say whether or not she's suffering, but if the husband knew she would not want to be kept alive like this, that's how it should be.

the term 'energizing the base' is a real republican strategic term.

Mimio, so respond with hate-speech and intollerance?
And I would wager that the "...what they can do with their own bodies." you speak of, involves lives being lost... or not. Seems justifiable to step in and voice an opinion in such circumstances.

That's why making a will is sooooo important. Or at least get something in writing.
Apparently people aren't taking the husband seriously because he said that Terri said that she would want to be taken off of life support if anything were to happen to her...while watching a tv show.
I don't know, she could've been serious about it meaning her own life too.

not to sound too cold but i really don't have any say in whether she lives or not. thats her legal guardian (her husband)'s decision. unfortunate for them is that the decision making is not really peaceful among the family members. BUT WHATEVER.
the issue here is how the feds got involved in this case. if her parents want to take the case to federal superior court, fine, pay the attorney fee and do whatever they want to do. however, the very fact that the federal government steppted in, because they're basing their opinions on religious morals (and now vatican is saying some opinion about this case...WTF??) is wrong.

The people trying to get involved in this are the same people who have no problem with the death penalty... even though it is inevitable that innocent people wil be (and have been) killed.
f-ing hyprocrits.

It would seem logical to me that there should be some absolute standard to measure such issues against. Otherwise... who's standard do we choose and for which issues?

don't you know, you can say God and Jesus and the Bible and there can be no retort?

I understand, but on the other hand neither her husband nor parents would know what she wants. I just think from the perspective of a parent, It's rather discouraging to see your child's future decided by someone you only know as a son-in-law.
And on a sidenote to the others: Not all Christians are Republicans pushing their beliefs on others - Only the selfish, outspoken ones.

The lady should be left to die. A life like that is not worth living.

you guys get too heated up

yes, I can definitely see the parents' viewpoints as well. It's obviously immensely difficult to do something that will end the life of your daughter. And the husband wants to move on with his life.

Discipler,
What I'm saying is that one person's sense of morality shouldn't supercede another person's when it comes their own body. I'm all for public debate, but let's leave the supernatural beliefs out of it for the beneift of society.
