What would you do?

If a person commits 1st degree murder and is sentenced to death, and the state proposed starvation and dehydration as the means of execution, the idea would be shot down as cruel and unusual punishment. However, if a woman suffers a tragic accident and is consigned to a wheelchair for the rest of her life, this same cruel and unusual punishment is fine. It's comforting to know that we wouldn't dare treat our most sinister of criminals the way we're perfectly happy treating our seriously ill.

Gross misrepresentation. For one, she can't actually feel anything. For another, she will never wake up by the reports of numerous doctors, so she's as good as dead. What use will be keeping her "alive?"

Its like killing a retarded person.

How, exactly? A retarded person can feel and have concious thought.

It's staggering to me how many of you don't understand what the court ruled on. The court didn't rule to take the feeding tube out because that's what should happen in these instances; the courts ruled that Terri would have wanted to have the feeding tube removed.
