Nice answer to my straightforward question. Not surprised.

Hildy, here's my objection. No one except her untrustworthy husband has EVER heard her say she wanted to die. I don't trust what he said. If you're really for choice, please, give Terri her choice. I believe she can answer for herself, but none of the judges will allow her to be asked.

And yes, the starvation angle is really disturbing. It's a slow, painful way to die, especially for someone who is actually conscious and feels pain--as Terri is.

Thank you. Let me repeat it in your own words if I am permitted to quote:

"Think about how stupid these laws are. Why can't they just give her an injection of something? Well, maybe because people on your side won't let that happen either. In reality, she will starve because of your side of the argument. Chew on that."
