More thoughts about Terri
Terri had no will or any other written directives regarding this situation she's in. The claim is that while she was watching a movie on TV with her husband, there was a scene of someone in a coma on life-support. Terri allegedly said that she wouldn't want to live like that. Honestly, how many of us wouldn't express the same sentiment? I wouldn't want to live like that, either, but that's NOT the same as expressing that I would want to be put to death if I end up in such a state. I wouldn't want to live like that, but I also wouldn't want to be put to death if I end up in such a state. Anyway, it's ridiculous that the courts have relied upon nothing but hearsay regarding Terri's alleged wishes. If there's no written directive or any other clear indication directly from a person regarding their wishes about being on life-support (BTW, Terri is not on life-support - the only help she needs is a feeding tube), then the courts should take a conservative, life-preserving position.
