kholt hasn't made it clear

I thought that CB explained it well, but since you mentioned me, I will weigh in.

If you accept, at least for the sake of argument, that Terri would have wanted to die, then forcing her to remain alive is just as much an assault on her and on her rights as killing her when she wants to live. It's her choice to make.

Yes, I understand that the determination that she would want to die clouds the issue, but that was the determination made through due process so that's what we go with.

I think that people that don't understand are simply not willing to accept that the right to die is as much a right as the right to live.
