I fear that this in Florida is a test case, a 'roe vs wade' of euthanasia if you will.
Has nothing to do with Terry herself as the full intent of their aim is demonstrated by the wording of the bills themselves that were introduced.
S2228 says this:

S 2228 Page 16 and 17, posted 8/28/2000
14 (9) "Life-prolonging procedure" means any medical

15 procedure, treatment, or intervention, including artificially

16 provided sustenance and hydration, which sustains, restores,

17 or supplants a spontaneous vital function.
...............................

By the above qualifier of 'supplants a spontaneous vital function', a pacemaker counts as reason to starve and dehydrate someone to death.

I've seen heated anger from both sides of the coin on this issue, and only a handful looking at it and saying, "Umm.. this is about euthanasia."


Thanks for the input.
I'll be pondering this awhile.

If the parents are willing to take care of her, they should be allowed to do so.

Any other opinions on this subject I'll keep to myself.

Yes. It is also about which side we should error on if we error.

Maybe Terri no longer has cognitive brain activity. Maybe she does. I am not a doctor. But if she does not it does her no harm to receive treatment. And if she does to deny her treatment is beyond cruel.

If we must error let it be on the side of mercy and life.

And that is all I have to say on the subject.
