My thoughts:
1. It was the right thing to do to let her die. I certainly wouldn't want to live the rest of my life in a vegetative state.
2. The way in which she died was wrong though. As Ryan said, she should've been given a lethal injection, not be allowed to starve to death for two weeks.
3. The poor woman did not deserve this much media attention. If I was ever in a vegetative state, I would hope to God no one would show me like that on national television. It wasn't even a national issue, it was a personal family issue. Now Terri Schiavo is a celebrity, only known for what she was like after she became a vegetable.
