Judge George Greer was wrong to murder Terri.

Obviously, there was no 'murder.' And Terri's 'smile' was reflexive not cognitive. So, the answer is: Were I in Terri's state, there is no question I would want nutrition and hydration withheld -- and anything else -- to end that terrible state.

I wasn't aware the law or morality was based on your view of what value others put on their own lives.

Obviously no murder? You must be kidding.

We don't know her true state because further tests were denied.

Because you would not wish to live in that state has nothing to do with Terri. It is Terri's decision and only hearsay was used to determine it.

This was the law yes, but the law was abused in this case since it picked and chose which laws to follow.

And, mainly, when did the criteria for a 41 year old woman become that she has to recover? Recovery is not the criteria for life or death. Unless you are pro-euthanasia.

So, we have a test case with Terri as the sacrifice to enter into the law books that hearsay evidence is sufficient to determine patient's wishes. We have the state killing an American citizen thereby denying her her constitutional rights.

Since when did severely handicapped people lose their constitutional right to life?
