We heard the Liberal answers above.
Now lets see how the Constitution answers them.
Question: 1) Does Terri have the right to die or the right to live?

Constitutional Answer-
The 14th Amendment: Section 1~ .....No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.

Question:2) Does the US Congress have the right to step in?

Constitutional Answer-
The 14th Amendment: Section 5~(refering to Article 1) The Congress shall have power to enforce, by appropriate legislation, the provisions of this article.
Although the 14th Amendment is the most clear statute, Article Three Establishes the Ordainer and the Establisher of the Courts.

Article 3;Section One

"The judicial Power of the United States, shall be vested in one supreme Court, and in such inferior Courts as the Congress may from time to time ordain and establish........"

And
Article 3,Section two gives explicit rights to Congress to intervene in State cases as much as enforcing the right of a case to be heard by the US Appellate Courts. It says: "... In all the other Cases before mentioned, the supreme Court shall have appellate Jurisdiction, both as to Law and Fact, with such Exceptions, and under such Regulations as the Congress shall make."
