25. I need an "option 3" on this poll
While I believe every person has the right to decide when and under what conditions they wish to call it quits, NO ONE has the right to make that decision for someone else. This is why all of us should have a living will, and should tell our wishes to at least one person we can trust. So that would be option 3: No one has the right to force anyone's decision or to make it for them, whether that decision is to live or die.

In this case, I don't know what Schiavo ever told her family but I would assume her family is much more likely to know her wishes than her husband (or is it ex-husband? see how out of touch I am) and CERTAINLY better than that asshat Tom DeLay knows. He has his own issues to deal with.
