Problem with your comments is that I am the one who cares about Mrs. Schiavo and others' wishes. I'm not like the Schindlers, who admitted they wanted to keep her body alive even if that wasn't what she wanted! I CARE about the INDIVIDUAL, about the PERSON...not just a generic "life"...

No, you really don't care about anyone's wishes. There was nothing written down, nor any other sort of record made. No one believes young people make such wishes known anyway. It defies our understanding of youth to believe otherwise.

So, go on about your business. This is NOT about you. We don't care about you. Please make sure you die in the streets and don't dirty the sheets. You will be picked up on either Tuesday or Friday.

At central issue here is what she wanted. The preponderance of the evidence suggests she had no wish to be killed. However the courts simply took the word of a husband, and obstinately refused to review any other evidence on the matter.

Again and again, year after year, they reiterated the original finding without any review of its veracity.

At this point it might be a little embarrassing and unsettling for people who advocated her death to still care about the truth. Some might even feel enough secret guilt that claim its a "witch-hunt" -- an absurd exageration worthy of Senator Durbin. That aside, there is good reason to review the case in the light of improving the law regarding such determinations.

You're mostly right about the "others' wishes," but Terri's wishes was NOT the same. You just care about murder which was that took place, pure and simple!!!
