Terri Schiavo & Rights of Disabled

An interesting article, written by Nat Hentoff and published by the Council for Secular Humanism, noting that "twenty-nine national disability-rights organizations... filed legal briefs and lobbied Congress to demonstrate that Terri Schiavo's was a disability-rights case, not a right-to-die case. They included the National Spinal Cord Injury Association; the National Down Syndrome Congress; the World Association of Persons with Disabilities; and the largest American assembly of disability-rights activists, the American Association of People with Disabilities." If you are interested, the article can be found at this link.
