Dean didn't do that--Jeb Bush just did. The government did. Not many true conservatives I know are comfortable with the government determining who should live and who should die. Dean's point was that the government should not intrude into such things. He's right.
Well, the government would intrude if I decided to sacrifice my neighbor to Baal in my backyard. Even with my neighbor's express written and witnessed consent. And it would not just be right to, it would be [expletive deleted] right to!!!
The government's job is to protect the life and liberty of its citizens. Bush and the FL Legistlature is trying to do that for Terri.
Dean's point was that the government should not intrude into such things.
No, Dean's point is that he loves death, like other pro-abortion and pro-"assisted suicide" (aka as euthanasia) leftists. He's perfectly fine with all kinds of government intrusion.
By "such things" do you mean that government shouldn't intrude in saving the life of someone while someone else is trying to murder that person? That's "intrusion"?
He's right.
No, he's just choosing the side of the people who want to kill her - a so-called husband who wants her dead for his own personal reasons, and Felos-the-lawyer who is also in love with death and dying.
I wrote: Because Dr. Dean is not just content to tell people how to think and how to live; now he wants to determine who should live and who should die.

It seems that what Dean was saying was that the legislature didn't have the knowledge or education that he did with his MD and that this made him superior to those who made the decision. A lot of conservatives are concerned that somehow food and water have before this been withheld as part of withholding extraordinary means to save someone. That's appalling, and very dangerous for what it could lead to in an aging society. Read the thread again. There are examples of people who depend on feeding tubes to survive but now lead good lives.
What happened hear is Dr. Dean again is talking down to them, criticizing their deeply felt feelings on the issue, and telling them of his superior thought process. If MDs are so superior to legislators, why isn't he practicing medicine?
