What government involvement should there be in cases like Terri Schiavo's?

The Terri Schiavo case demonstrated how chaotic government involvement can be. This is mostly due to the separation of powers. In this case, Schiavo's parents first attempted to get the desired outcome of having their daughter's feeding tube put back into place through the courts. When they were denied, they turned around and took their problem to Congress. While this had some effect, the Schiavo's were still denied. Finallly, they made one final attempt to have the feeding tube replaced by going directly to governor Jeb Bush. Although the separation of powers is important in limiting the power of the national government, it greatly complicates things due to the fact that the three branches often disagree on some issues. The main problem with government involvement in this matter is the length of time it takes to decide on issues such as this. The more people there are involved, the harder it is to make a decision. I honestly cannot answer this question because I don't know what governmental involvement should take place in this case. I can, however, give my opinion on this case in particular. I think pulling the plug on Terri Schaivo was the right thing to do. There is no point to living while in a permanent vegetative state. If i were in one, I would definitely want the plug to be pulled on me. Furthermore, Terri had said that she wished to die a dignified death.
