Bill,

The big push on this case is a religious one. Especially from the Catholic church, which doesn't want this to be possible.

Absolutely wrong. The Catholic church teaches that unnecessary medical care and prolonging suffering are also wrong.

So prolonging the life of a terminal patient against their will would be wrong. As would taking the life of disabled person, or an unborn child. The presumption is life.

The videos, which are recent, hilight the complexity of this case. While the left evokes the issue of state interference in a family decision - they ignore the parents who have been fighting a husband with a financial interest in seeing his wife pass away.

This is not mentioned much in the MSM.

As CB has pointed out - you should make very sure your wishes on these issues are spelled out in a living will.

Terri did not have that - and her husband and parents disagree on her disposition.

I would be inclined to believe the Husband if he had no financial interest, a live in girlfriend and children by her.

Oh - that is mentioned much either.

John
