I'm really pleased to see the general opinion here, that the federal government has no place in this. I read in the paper today that the general concensus in the US regarding Congress' intervention is 60% against, 35% pro, 5% undecided. I sat through these family discussions twice, once regarding my father, who survived and recovered, and once with an older brother, who did not survive, and died at home. Both times were intensely private, and I couldn't imagine accepting that a judge somewhere would, even could, make those kinds of decisions for my family.
I didn't get a chance to read every post in this thread yet. Does anyone else think that all this eleventh-hour Congressional action is just to please the religious right in anticipation of next year's Congressional elections? I can see this case being right-wing mud-slinging ammunition already (Democrats killed Terri!). I usually am not personally offended by politics, but I am this time.
