True but, like I said, we don't have the "news" option, so I didn't even remember about its existence (otherwise I would've clicked that link) :)
It's not easy to remember about something you never see :p |

I don't think you comprehend the slippery slope you're proposing with that statement.
First of all, the "right" is the right to die a natural death, as well as the right of a next of kin to speak for an individual. If it weren't for an artificial feeding tube, this woman would have died 12 years ago. Are you suggesting that all technology be used at all costs to keep someone "alive?" What about living wills that expressly prohibit such artificial means or the legal right of a next of kin to speak for an individual when they cannot? Are we to all put our lives, in the case of such an incident, into the hands of the state so they can keep us alive indefinitely with whatever technology becomes available?
True, no one has the "right" to someone else's death. But, we do have the right to die naturally, whether that comes from the individual in the form of a living will, or from the next of kin if the individual is unable to speak for themselves. I for one do not want the government to dictate how and when I should die. I put that decision into my own hands or into a loved one's if I cannot make that decision. |

u have a point there. terry shiavo should have died back in 1990 when she had that heart attack. they are unnaturally keeping her alive. but, in my opinion, of the family wants to be gaurdian and keep her alive, let them. nobody should stop them. at least not a judge. or husband who is having an affair and has already had other illegitamate children while his wife is a brain-damaged vegatable. |

This was not the judge's decision, it was her husbands. The judge was merely affirming his legal right after years of trial.
As far as her family goes and their wish to keep her alive, I'm sorry. There will always be someone that will want that individual to live with insane hopes of a "miraculous recovery." These people simply cannot let go and will grasp at any straw in order not to have to deal with death. That is why there is one power of attorney, and whether or not you think him having a girlfriend on the side makes him morally wrong, it does not make him any less legally accountable. |

Let the poor woman go. You don't care about her, she's just your poster child for "right to life." You don't even know much about the case in the first place, because her parents are the ones who want to keep her alive, so they are not the "greedy" ones. |

Not just her parents, also her siblings and a lot of her friends who claim that they have seen emotional reactions out of her since she had been declaired catotonic. Really the only one who wants her killed is her husband WHO HAS CHJILDREN WITH A DIFFERENT WOMAN BUT REFUSE TO DEVORCE HER BECAUSE OF THE MULTI MILLION DOLLAR LEGAL SETTALMENT. In other words he stands to gain from her death...... |
