yes towards ending life indiscriminately or towards preserving it against someone's will. i suppose we each must choose which we fear more.

A court has determined, over and over, that it would be her wish not to live like this.

It is a nearly universal wish. I've stood, as most of us have, at the bedside of people hooked up to tubes and machines and invariably, the person standing next to me says "Don't let that happen to me."

When the doctors tell you that there is nothing else that can be done, most of us wish that our loved ones would go on in peace and live their lives and let us go. Most of us.

For those who do not wish that and want to live like Terri, indefinitely, they need to make that wish known, in writing, to all their family members.

And now I must run and make dinner.

I have said many times that I don't wish TS's death. You're an attorney. Do you want to circumvent a case that has been vetted till the cows come home because you disagree?

This wholesale wish to overthrow state and federal constitutional law is the crux of the issue.
