maybe now it's time for us to wake up as a country and legalize euthinasia...
lucky for terri that she can't feel any pain, but what about all the people dying of cancer or als or any number of other terminal and painful disease? we do treat our criminals better, maybe it's time we treat our normal citizanry with the same courtesy.

And you know this how??? Do you think your ancestors in the death camps would have agreed with you?? Would the 30 million Ukranians that Stalin starved to death have agreed with you???
This makes me sick. No one here has any clue what the woman is feeling.
