Before you execute an innocent person (taking the feeding tube away is a slow form of execution), shouldn't you show that they wanted to die beyond a reasonable doubt?

One thing left I wanted to say is I do respect the Catholic Church's position on life. They believe only God should decide who lives and dies. So the catholic church is also against the death penalty. But there are many protestants that invoke religion when it comes to cases like Terri's saying only God should take life yet support the death penalty. (btw, I am a Protestant so I can rag on my own kind without being a Bigot). I have noticed that there are a lot of Catholics who want Pro-Choice politicians to not get comunion, but think it is OK for Jeb Bush, who is a Catholic to get comunion even though he supports the death penalty.
