Do you see me laughing? So many 'compassionate conservatives' willing to do anything and everything no matter how constitutional to get their way? Frankly it's frightening as hell.
Do you want someone else making the decision of whether you should live or die, based completely on hearsay?
Nope, which is why I have a living will. I don't want any ghouls getting their hands on me to forward their agenda of life at all costs, even if I'm braindead. I've told my family to give me a respectable time (which is set forth in my living will) then shut off the lights and go out to live their lives
I am surprised you would take that tack when it comes to life/death issues.

Well, Terri had no living will, and she was not braindead. What we have is hearsay and an effort by Michael (according to the testimony of two different nurses) to withhold even the most basic care for Terri. You may think that's fine, exacerbating one's medical condition by keeping them from even having their teeth brushed, but perhaps that's because it's not you, and why should you worry because you have a living will?
Good. Too bad Terri didn't. The courts just chose to take the word of her adulterous "husband" that she wanted to die. (Not that he had anything to gain by her death or anything.)
