Re: The case of Terri Schiavo
It is issues like this one that deeply divides America today.

In a society and government based on compromise, something like mercy killing just doesn't fit, becase there is no "middle ground". You either allow it or you don't. When everyone feels very strongly about an issue one way or another, nothing gets done except a lot of politics get thrown around.

IMHO, setting conditions for when it is acceptable just won't do because every case is subjective and hardly anyone wants the fate of a loved one to be determined by a set of arbitrary guidelines.
