In practice "PVS" and "minimally conscious" are code words for "lives not worth living." It's only a few syllables from there to the ultimate dehumanizing label: "vegetables." And who could be expected to care for "vegetables"?

Alas! Even vegetables need food & water in order to survive !!!

He may be a big pro death liberal but he also knows that a good scandal helps keep the TV ratings up. (Kobe is a good example of this.) And if this doesn't qualify than I don't know what does.
