'This has been going on for 13 years. Why not allow therapy for 6 months out of those thirteen years?'

There is not one good reason unless you simply do not want to give someone the chance to improve. The token therapy session granted by Judge Greer in the other case which was presented in this article in an attempt to show his compassion to the man's wife was really the same as allowing no therapy at all.

And notice here that the wishes of the spouse in this case were trumped by the rest of the family even though we have been treated to a barrage of comments in the Shiavo case about the rights of husbands and wives to make these decisions for one another.

Decisions like these are being made by judges all over the country. The truth is, this is about euthanasia and true believers and the daily judicial decisions that further the 'cause' of making it accepted in mainstream America....and it does appear to be working.

Forty years ago, you would have been hard pressed to find anyone who would think that providing water and food to the infirmed was extraordinary care. From recent polls, the concept of starving and dehydrating people to death has now been accepted by a good many of us as a 'compassionate' way to 'allow' death. The buzzwords abound, but if this horror constitutes 'death with dignity', you could sure fool me.
