>>> I would disagree that Terri Schiavo is severely retarded, though. She is in a persistent vegetative state--the part of her brain that makes for thought and even self-awareness and awareness of her environment is gone. <<<

If you carefully observe the videos of her and her reactions to people, I do not know how you could arrive at that conclusion... About having the right to kill yourself if a doctor or doctors tell someone they have only six months to live, the trouble with that is many times the medical establishment is not only wrong, but also wrong about giving the proper treatment necessary to extend that time frame if it is indeed correct, and in some cases the person being given the six month "death sentence" can be cured by alternative methods, even though the FDA is claiming only drugs can cure diseases... I myself at the age of 17 was told I would not have long to live because of a heart condition, and I guess if I was living in Oregon today, I never would have found out I could live to at least the "ripe old age" of 54...
