So true.
The logic of Roe-v-Wade (conditional value of human life) inevitably transitions into higher thresholds of value to justify that life.
So Roe-v-Wade -> Mercy Killing -> Partial-Birth Abortion -> Euthenasia -> starving to death those who cannot feed themselves.
There is no reason to kill Terri except to honor the raw authority of a judge who is in violation of the law in his own rulings.
How many defendants at Nuremburg used the same defense/rationale; I was only obeying the law? We must be a nation of law, even if that law is immoral and evil?
Terri cannot feed herself but can swallow food. Her parents are willing to care for her at home and not cost the state or Michael a penny, and yet Michael wont agree, and Judge Greer wont even hear it.
So for the sake of the law, as it is being twisted by an egomaniac at the prompting of two hideous murderous beings, Terri will be starved to death by law.

What will happen when all those born and raised in Christendom, taught in school that God exists and taught that society demands moral behavior for a moral end, WHAT HAPPENS WHEN THAT GENERATION PASSES AWAY, AND THEIR MORAL VOICE IS HEARD NO MORE?
Chaos, bloodshed, and slaughter is our fate then, I fear.
Brothers and sisters, prepare for the Catacombs.

Absolutely! Either we are endowed by our Creator with an inalienable right to life from conception onwards till natural death, or we don't have it at all.
Once mankind steps in and begins to place human life into 'categories' so as to allow himself to make exceptions to the rule, he's saying in essence, that certain categories don't count as far as moral ethics are concerned.
And that's the very rationalization that led to the gulags, ovens, killing fields, and to slavery.
