Few situations have come up as complex as this. Most of the time, you can decide what side you are on, but on this, I kept going to and fro. As soon as I thought one thing, I thought about something else on the other side.

I am very pro-ethanasia, but as you said, this is murder as Terri had no say in the matter. I don't know why they didn't just sign custody over to Terri's parents, everyone could wash their hands of it all, and her parents could deal with it, like they wanted.

In the end I sided with whatever the doctors wanted to do (in this case, to let her die). They are the experts, and their informed opinion is what they are paid hugely for, so it seems silly to ignore it.
