Paul, there was no indecision on Terri, her husband wanted her to die, her parents to live. The courts were involved to decide on who legally has the right to make the decision to end her life.
As far as the years it took to resolve this in court, put it in perspective. Scott Petersen will be in jail a minimun of 17 years before all appeals are exhausted. Taxpayers will spend tons of $ for court fees and living expenses for him. Is it wrong that that the decision to end an innocent life took so long? I'm glad I love in country that human life is valued enough to cause debate and attention from our legal system
This case raised a lot of questions, Im not sure where I stand on this.
Her husband was banging away at another woman while Terri's parents visited her everyday. Makes me not feel too much for the husband and side with the parents.
I've heard that Terri's mind is the equivalent of a 6 months old...is that such a bad thing? Was she happy? We'll never know. Sad story no matter what your views are.
