It was the sentence of the state not the husband. The state alone has the power of death.

You are wrong. The State found the evidence to be "clear and compelling" that Michael Schiavo was following his wife's wishes not to to be kept alive using ex-ordinary means. Feeding tubes fall into such s category under the Fl. Constitution. You may not like Greers ruling but it was upheld up all the way to the USSC, which also slapped down the Bush administration for passing a "Terri's law" that was clearly a bill of attainder. The people of FL. voted every politician that thought he would profit from this hyper emotional media created event out of office...Charlie Crist who defied J. Bush on this circus while he was State Atty. General then went on to win election as Governor by a 70% margin. Judge Greer was re-elected to his office by an even larger margin against a candidate who ran on nothing but his opposition to Greer's handling og the Schiavo.

Lesson for all you moral nannies...keep your collective noses out of personal family affairs concerning end of life or death with dignity issues. You have done irreparable damage to conservatism and the GOP with your dogmatic ignorance...

Did they at the time of Terri's initial injury?

Got it, you prefer the wishes of an estranged, adulterous "spouse" over those of the family.

News flash! Contrary to popular belief among those who despised Terri Schiavo, she was not a piece of property. She had a right to live, even according to Floriida’s constitution. That right was not up for a vote. It was Terri’s right, regardless of your opinion of her, and your obsession with spreading that opinion like manure.

Your support of forced dehydration and starvation and the resulting "dignity" is disturbingly macabre.

Lisa MacPherson experienced the same "euphoric" treatment as Terri Schiavo.

You are wrong.

No. This is entirely an issue of the state. Private citizens do not have these powers. Personal wishes have nothing to do with it.

Ignorance of the nature of the state has led Conservatives to lose control of Congress and Republicans to what appears to be a massive loss in this fall's coming election.
