“Why is this Mr. Bush’s fault?”
It is the fault of TWO Mr. Bushes in 2005, one president and one governor, whose cowardice in failing to make a stand for Terri Schiavo presaged the way for “benevolent” euthanasia in America.
The biggest problem I've encountered is that patients (young and old) are being counseled to sign “living wills” that they absolutely do not understand. If you read and understand all the ramifications of most documents of this ilk, you are paving the way for your euthanasia. Her doctor encouraged my mother to sign, and she paid for that mistake with her life. I stood and watched her die—legally helpless.
You’re off on two counts. Firstly, the Schiavo case was not about whether ir not she was going to die, but who had the right to make decisions for her. You can’t say it’s the parents just because you want her to live. Either they were next of kin or not, and they were not. Secondly, it was none of Bush the Younger’s business, certainly. Since when do presidents stick their noses in state family law? It wasn’t really any if Jeb’s business either, but the business of the courts.
