JUGGERNAUT Posted January 26, 2005 Share Posted January 26, 2005 You should not have the right to terminate your own life. Unless we amend the US Cons that right does not exist. The US Cons clearly defines the state's rights in preservation of life. That is what this case is about. You can mention his witnesses & I can refer to your own timeline which refers to a witness that was closer to her that contradicts his. So I'm certainly not going to suggest a decision on her life & death be made on the basis of heresay. The best path is to go forward with the 5 doctor consensus analysis that was proposed earlier in the timeline. That removes the politics & self-interests of Schiavo from the case.

Steff Posted January 26, 2005 Author Share Posted January 26, 2005 You do have the right to choose be taken off life support.. if dying is the result.. so be it. That is not terminating your life. It's choosing not to live a falsehood. It's perfectly legal. It's called, among other things, a living will, a DNR order, etc, etc.. You really should read up on this case a bit more. There have been over 13 doctors involved in this case. They agree that she will never improve. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
