03/21/2005: "Congress's actions for Terri"

It should be obvious from reading this blog that I strongly stand for Terri's life. What I question is whether we are doing the right thing in how we are fighting this fight. Should we allow a law to pass that only protects Terri and not others in her situation? Shouldn't we be pushing for laws that prevent removal of a feeding tube in all cases? Or at least in all cases without a written wish? Or at least opening a Federal review of all cases in which there is no written wish? Do the ends justify the means in this case? Does writing a law that seems to be begging a Constitutional challenge help the cause at all?

I don't know the answers to these questions but while I'm very happy that Terri may get a chance at being fed soon, I worry that the wrong actions are being taken at this point to help us win this fight against Euthenasia in the long run.
