All congress did here was give terri one last appeal in a federal court, which until now she was denied the opportunity. Convicted murderers get a mandatory appeal in federal court, why is it so hard to give her one appeal at the federal level? Does she have less rights than a convicted murderer?
This whole thing is sad; from her condition, to the way this has spun into a pro-life/pro-choice match. The saddest thing is that no matter what her estranged husband says, we will never know what her true wishes actually were. It is possible that terri wanted to stay alive, but she is condemned to die, regardless.
