We're going to have to agree to disagree on this one Joe.  I have been 
involved in 2 decisions like this one.  Fortunately God made the decision 
for us for one & we made the wrong call on the other & prolonged the poor 
woman's suffering.  I personally know of no one that wants to live like that 
poor girl has.  I'm pretty sure that all the married folks on this list 
knows exactly what their spouse would want them to do under these 
circumstances & Terri's husband is no different.  He may actually be one of 
those rare people today that makes a promise & makes every effort to keep 
it, therefore divorce is not an option.

BTW, refusing medical treatment is not euthanasia.

I never want to wonder whether the physician coming into my hospital room 
is wearing the white coat of the healer or the black hood of the 
executioner. Alexander Capron (American lawyer. Source: Daily Telegraph 
8/10/04)

The truth is that we all have a right to die with dignity, which means 
being given good palliative care and pain relief. What the supporters of 
euthanasia are really arguing for is not the right to die with dignity, 
but the right to be killed. They are demanding of doctors that they become 
killers. Archbishop Peter Smith (Daily Telegraph: 19/12/2004)

Euthanasia is a grave violation of the law of God, since it is the 
deliberate and morally unacceptable killing of a human person. Pope John 
Paul II: Evangelium Vitae, 1995

Euthanasia is a long, smooth-sounding word, and it conceals its danger as 
long, smooth words do, but the danger is there, nevertheless. Pearl S. 
Buck

This life in us. . . however low it flickers or fiercely burns, is still a 
divine flame which no man dare presume to put out, be his motives never so 
humane and enlightened. To suppose otherwise is to countenance a 
death-wish. Either life is always and in all circumstances sacred, or 
intrinsically of no account; it is inconceivable that it should be in some 
cases the one, and in some the other. Malcolm Muggeridge

That is all.

Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn't 
pass it to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, 
protected, and handed on for them to do the same, or one day we will spend 
our sunset years telling our children and our children's children what it 
was once like in the United States where men were free.
Ronald Reagan
