Who Has the Right?

I'm sorry people, but not one person has the right to be calling Michael, or any other person in an ethical delima names, nor judge them. You just never know when and if you will end up in that situation.

To be honest: None of us should be poking our noses into Terri's families business. What is going on really is a private and sacred matter.

Her family might not be agreeing with each other, families seldom do, but this family needs time to grieve. They need private time to say goodby. They also need an opportunity to sort this matter out among themselves. The courts in truth will do nothing, but add to their pain.

I know. Although my situation was slightly different what happened to me, my family and how the accident drug out over a ten year period was inexcusable.

Let me explain: On June 29, 1995 I was critically injured in a car accident, and for ten days my life was in question, and truthfully, "I was not expected to live."

Yes, I have very specific feelings about being put on life support and about my family. Quite frankly, I would much rather my family bicker among themselves, leave the law out of it because even with the best of intentions, it causes nothing more than inflicting more pain on an open wound.

So please, think a little- stop judging- you don't want to be stuck in the place of calling the shots, but you wouldn't trade being there either if you really needed to make a decision of this sort for a wife, husband, daughter, sister, mother, brother, father in this situation either because you know this person intimately.
