I thought having a "living will" was to have it in writing that you "didn't want to be kept alive by artificial means". Now we should have one to state "At least feed me?" By the way, Terri did not have a "living will", but her husband decided that she doesn't want to be fed. But he doesn't make this decision until after Terri has some rehab and she begins to talk. Wonder why.
My feelings about Jeb's lack of action stand. He CAN stop this murder, but seems has chosen not to.

I do agree that one very disturbing thing rising out of all this is that, whereas the presumption used to be that a person would be kept alive UNLESS they had a written living will saying they wanted to die, now the default is that they die and they need a living will to stay alive! That is very troubling indeed. Incrementalism at it's finest.

"He CAN stop this murder"

How? My review of the history of this case, and my knowledge of the law, has led me to the inevitable conclusion that absolutely nothing Bush does can change the fact that the Courts have refused to hear any more appeals on the matter. And there -have- been so many appeals that it's impossible to argue that the Court hasn't addressed the issue sufficiently.

Summer, I agree that the fact that she's being denied last rites is especially chilling. Is there anything Jeb can do about -that-, at least?
