Anyone here who thinks Terri shouldn't be starved and dehydrated to death?
Advertisements [?]
This is a very controversial issue and I for one feel her husband is doing immeasurable harm to a family who absolutely loves and adores their daughter.

I have seen some who feel as I, but I am wondering if there are more?

FYI, I am a liberal but a liberal who separates this issue from abortion and the right to die.

I am in favor of dying with dignity, but there is much to this story.

Terri's wishes were not in writing and only witnessed by her "husband" and his sister in passing during a television show.

Just because this is not a life you would want for yourelf, does not mean that it is not a life worth living.

If she were on a breathing machine to be kept alive, I would say she deserves to die in piece, but the only "artificial" means keeping her alive is nourishment.
