If you're going to bring up Michael Shiavo, then I'm going to bring up the Schindlers. If the motives of one are relevant, so are the motives of the other.

The Schindlers want to keep her on a force-feeding life support system. Feeding tubes are by no means natural. If the feeding tube is a natural way of eating, then a respirator is a natural way of breathing.

I see the situation very differently than you do. I see it as a woman who is being artifically kept alive since she died 15 years ago, because the parents are too wrapped up in their own loss to let Terri rest in peace. Forcing people to remain trapped in an existence like this is inhuman and wrong.

The Constitution was written to protect the citizens from having government force a single brand of religious and moral thought upon the people as well as to prevent religion from being corrupted by government.
