Again with the legalisms? Hitler was "democratically elected".

Not really. He got something like a third of the vote then manipulated events and dissolved the Weimar Republic.

Are you even able to distinguish the difference between legality and morality?

Sure. I just don't see anything immoral about letting a woman in a vegitative state die in accordance with her wishes.

I will not have Terri's blood on my hands. But those who killed her, and those who agreed with and supported the acts of those who killed her, will.

Yawn. Same old, same old.

"Die in accordance with her wishes." You made a sweeping statement that implies that the circumstances and manner of her death were those that Terri Schiavo had given a legal, advance directive regarding. Can you produce such a document? Can you show me a credible instance where this individual had expressed a desire to die in the manner she did? Can you show me convincing, legally-admissible evidence that Terri Schiavo ever expressed a desire to die by dehydration/starvation?

I didn't think so. There is none. When you show it to me, maybe I'll believe your statement that she indeed did "die in accordance with her wishes". In fact, she didn't. She died the way others, who had the power over her to kill her, wanted her to die, and gamed the system to make it happen in a "legal", but completely immoral, manner. Evidently you support that. Now. But I wonder if you will when you and your loved ones go under the needle against your will?
