Not true...

Which is not true...that pro-life was always intended to be about abortion and living wills? Or that the arguments raised against Michael Shiavo can't be used against a living will? For instance, a surrogate designated by a living will, who happens to be the husband, can be disputed if an affair takes place after the patient became mentally and physically incapacitated? Or that artificial feeding isn't really artificial? Or a persistent vegetative state may not be a persistent vegetative state? I think it's true either way.

"Or that artificial feeding isn't really artificial? "

By that same logic, we could kill anyone who had a pacemaker, after all, it's artificially keeping their heart in rythm and thus extending their lives artificially.
It's artificial.
As is Insulin injections for diabetes.
And let's not forget artificial life saving procedures known as colostomy, without which some people would die.
