By all means.......let's make sure it is voluntary assistance, not some government mandated order. If there is a living will that clearly stipulates the wishes of the dying those wishes must be honored. But in the case where there is no living will many people believe it is right to err of the side of life. This case became more emotional and divisive because there is not a living will and her parents offered/volunteered to take care of Terry.

The Shindlers made it clear they were willing to take care of her until she died a natural death. They were denied that opportunity. In the absence of a living will, I believe they should have been allowed to do so. You and millions of others don't. This is a serious question that must be answered. Is it too much to ask that as a nation we address that issue or is that not allowed?
