"I still come back to, "What would she have wanted?" " Actually Terri Schaivo's case depended almost entirely on what Terri would have wanted. And the legal standard required was that "Clear & Convincing Evidence" must be established that Terri wanted death or the law requires the state to err on the side of life. The evidence presented was clearly conflicting (3 said she didn't want to live like that & 2 said she did), yet somehow the judge ruled in favor of Michael & death. FWIW, I absolutely would not want to live if I was in the same condition as Terri Schaivo ended up in. That does not give me the right to project my personal views onto another person under any circumstances.
