#1 Using the word corpse was inappropriate.
What some people believe life is, is different to other people. Some people wouldn't want to live with no arms or legs even with a functioning mind.
#2 You are addressing conservatives only and turning this into a political circus.
Are you speaking for all the liberals?
This is an individual personal decision where political belief has nothing to do with when you decide to end your life under certain medical circumstances.
The Schaivo bill which was not challenged by democrats was not about Terri's condition but about do process in the same way a death row inmate would challenge a decision to be put to death.
#3 It is none of your business how a person wants to spend there money on personal medical treatment. If someone wants to be kept alive anyway they can, it's there right and no one can take that away.
Are you going to decide what's best for a person and a persons life based on money?
#4 Resources, used wisely, on those who might benefit?
You want doctors to determine who gets the benefit of resources? Are you saying people like Terri are wasting resources?
Frankly, I think you went overboard here and are trying to make this into something that shouldn't be, like most of your nit-picking post.
