What ONE JUDGE? There were 17 of them if memory serves. That doesn't include the Supremes.

Terri Schiavo (can't you get this through your skull?) was not a minor who was controlled by her parents. She was an adult, married and with a will of her own.

The entire process was to try and determine, as well as they could, what HER wishes would be. Would a bulimic woman, proud of her looks, want to live like that for the next half century and beyond? Would you?

Who would? Who would want to lie in bed and have a succession of strangers feed you, bathe you and do all kinds of intimate things to you while you had no cognitive ability whatsoever?

It was determined that her husband knew what her wishes were while her parents did not. THAT was the decision...what HER wishes were. What her parents wanted was immaterial because it was Terri's life.

You and her parents would force Terri to live in a state that she wouldn't want to be in. That is cruel.
