Let Her Go In Peace

So why is the Federal, State or local government involded in this whole Terri Schiavo scenario? I mean has this story not grown into a terribly horrible intrusion on all the people effected. This woman has been in a vegetable state for 20 years. Isn't it time for everyone who cares about her to let her go? Why would you want put a loved one through a stuffed alive but dead existence?

Why politicians would intrude into this very private matter is beyond explanation. The government should establish the law and then stop interfering in such a terrible decision of a family to make. Get out of the way and let this sad chapter end.
