Supreme Court meddling with Terri Schiavo

The Supreme court, and even B*sh himself have started interfering with the Terri Schiavo case. The woman has been in a persistant vegetative state for 15 years, fed through a tube, forced-oxygen breathing, with people tending to everything from changing her clothes to wiping her ass. Her husband has pleaded to let her die because he realises, as do most sensible people, that his wife has zero quality of life. Yet her parents and pressure groups persist in their morbid pursuit of keeping this basically dead woman alive for some reason.
I don't get it.
If you're breathing by machine, fed by machine, can't move, are unconscious in a vegetative state and need everything doing for you, there simply is no quality of life. The woman is bascially brain dead - her heart attack in 1990 starved her brain of oxygen. Her husband has it totally right - Terri Schiavo is suffering daily because of the meddling of the high courts, civil rights groups and her parents. The poor woman should be allowed to die rather than forced to live in this condition. If you can even classify it as "living". I'm sure if she could talk, her first words would be "kill me".
