A refreshingly dispassionate consideration of the issue.
This article is incredibly good. I must thank most of you on this thread for discussing in a mature manner, after the manner of Krauthammer's article. I'm sobbing about this yet again.
Tough, tough situation. If you haven't looked at the FR poll now - do so - we have a major split here - no surprise if you have been on these threads.
For those of you who didn't bother to read the whole article, I have to agree with Krauthammer's last paragraph:
" There is no good outcome to this case. Except perhaps if Florida and the other states were to amend their laws and resolve conflicts among loved ones differently -- by granting authority not necessarily to the spouse but to whatever first-degree relative (even if in the minority) chooses life and is committed to support it. Call it Terri's law. It would help prevent our having to choose in the future between travesty and tragedy. "
In addition, please don't miss Tony Blankley's equally good article:

Not fit to judge: Human handling of Terri's case falls short
