Terri Schiavo's Parents Seek Divorce on Her Behalf

[Kitsune]

but I'm no longer certain that there is a "right" answer in the Terri Schiavo case.

There is, and its this simple:

Terri is married to Michael Shiavo.
Terri has been braindead for fifteen years and is unable to live unassisted.
Michael, being legal next-of-kin, is having her life support removed.
End of story.

There are no legal questions in this what-so-ever. As to why this has ended up in court repeatedly and is currently in federal hands at the consideration of the f'ing president of the United States, I have no idea. The media and other groups have done a very nice job of twisting this case into "her rights are being denied" when the only right clearly being blocked in this case is her husband's in what he has intended to do what is legally right for years: let her pass away as she wanted.

It doesn't matter what the parents say.
It doesn't matter that the method she passes away with is starvation.
It doesn't matter that some people who have little understanding of Terri's condition think she might miraculously recover or that she might somehow be concious.

Just as there shouldn't be any question in her condition, there is no question of what is "right" in this case.

The president of the United States and Congress should, by all means, be facing a lawsuit for their involvement and their attempts to remove the rights of a married couple.
