So hearing about the idiots who tried to march into the hospice carrying cups of water to "save Terri" got me thinking: what about the flip side? What if someone went in & put a bullet in her brain, ending it once & for all (assuming the Supremes don't have their heads too far up their asses & reverse every court decision under them); would that be akin to murder? She is already condemned--she is basically dead, so why not speed the process along by a few days? Ok, lets assume it wasn't a bullet but a shot of whatever they administer when they implement the death penalty--certainly isn't cruel & unusual there correct? Would a court convict?
While certainly a morbid argument, the fun factor from the media's over-reaction (now that Blake & Peterson are done, what are they going to focus on??) to the euthenasia & the accompanying trial + the social/political fallout would certainly make for entertaining viewing.
Isn't it time another celebrity did something stupid so we can move onto the important issues?

"There are two novels that can change a bookish fourteen-year old's life: The Lord of the Rings and Atlas Shrugged. One is a childish fantasy that often engenders a lifelong obsession with its unbelievable heroes, leading to an emotionally stunted, socially crippled adulthood, unable to deal with the real world. The other, of course, involves orcs." John Rogers
