I believe the one weak link in the chain touted by folks who favor allowing Terry to die, is there is nothing in writing to support her husband's claim that she would want to die. Because of the actions of the courts, I assume that from now on, anyone without a written Living Will that states how one wishes to be treated if he/she has a similar condition to Terry's, is at the mercy of their spouse or whoever to inform the authorities what they BELIEVE to be their wishes. Her husband has nothing in writing so the courts are taking him at his word.

I do not see any harm in allowing the parents to care for Terry for the rest of her natural life if they want to. There would be ample time later to kill her if the parents can no longer take care of her.

And I do see Martin's point when he criticizes those who profess to value life so much, they oppose the death penalty for murderers on death row. Seems a bit hypocritical to me.
