"He said she would not have been able to eat or drink if she had been given food by mouth as her parents' requested.

"Removal of her feeding tube would have resulted in her death whether she was fed or hydrated by mouth or not," Thogmartin told reporters.

Thogmartin said that Schiavo's brain was about half of its expected size when she died March 31 in a Pinellas Park hospice, 13 days after her feeding tube was removed.

"The brain weighed 615 grams, roughly half of the expected weight of a human brain. ... This damage was irreversible, and no amount of therapy or treatment would have regenerated the massive loss of neurons.""

This is what any expert who was not PAID by the Schindler family had been sayng all along.

And no, I am not gloating. I would have had no problem whatsoever with her parents taking care of her. (For their sake, since she would never have known anyway)

It's the BLANTANT and utterly rampant intellectual dishonesty that has been embraced by the right with regard to this case. It's very DUmmie-esque... such a fervent horse-blinder "if the facts don't agree with me, I'll just scream louder" mentality that really dissapoints me.
