Le Chef raises a good point. if the husband is to be believed, she didnt want to live a vegetable if the family is to be believed, she would have wished to continue to live the court believes the husband the legislature believes the family Knowing the nature of politicians, it is an easy choice. The court is much more credible than the legislature - and especially not this legislature, if you catch my drift. An objective perspective on this, in my opinion, is as follows. Husband's decision to allow Terry to let go of her tenuous so called life is rational, hence, the right one. He did try for three years to revive her, spending all the money he won from the lawsuit on finding his wife's cure. So we know he is not motivated by money. The doctors, with all their insight and foresight, believe that most of Terri's brain is now just a mush and only the stem-section, which causes the reflex movements, is still intact. On that premise, they are asserting that Terri Schiavo is brain dead and is in persistent vegitative state. Parents' decision, it seems to me, is motivated by the love for their child. Who, but the most heartlesss, could not sympathize with them. However, the fact remains their decision is an emotional one and not rational. Still, who are we to judge. We have not walked in the husband's shoes, nor that of the parents'. And above all, it is the family's private affair. Bush, being Bush, with his right-wing cohorts, I think are the ones who made wrong decision by poking their collective nose into this family's private affair.
