Well, the whole picture, McGrath, really boils down to the question of how Terri Schiavo's best interests can be served. And since Terri, herself, communicated to her husband that she would not ever want to be kept alive in such a condition, and given the fact that the courts have accepted that this is what Terri Schiavo has communicated to her husband about her wishes, the "whole picture" is best served by honoring the wishes of Terri Schiavo on the subject of her intentions in this matter.

Unless you don't believe in an individual's right to make end of life decisions for him or herself. And if that is the case, you are completely at odds with the majority of people in the US on this matter. And since it is our system, and we are the ones who have to live with it, it really is our decision to make and not yours.
