you do not kill people based upon *your* subjective view of their quality of life...

I don't think that's what's going on. I defined two sides to this. One side is the culture-of-life side and the other is the self-determination (choice) side, which is the side I'm on. There was a process in place under Florida law that tried to figure out, in the absence of clear evidence, what Terri's choice would be. They may not have come up with the right answer in this case, but that's the tack that the law specified and that's the tack they used. Trying to figure out what she would want is not remotely the same as imposing their views on her.

I'll ask you the same question I asked bland--what process would you use, instead? How would you determine what the person would choose? Or would you not concern yourself with the person's wishes?
