I think it can be argued that Life is presumed to be preferable to Death - if someone is hit by a car in traffic, they are rushed to the hospital and all efforts are made to save their life. Their 'right to privacy' is not questioned, nor does anyone inquire whether they would prefer to die before proceeding with lifesaving treatment.

Felos would have us believe the 'right to die' is greater than anything else except the right to privacy but in practice, our society assumes people would rather be alive than dead. Schiavo, Greer and Felos have a hard time with that, but NORMAL people don't!

I was watching Oprah with my daughter, and have told her very little about this case. "He did it." That was her reaction. She thinks he is lying. I will explain more about the malpractice suit and the potassium reading which was the basis for the settlement. In other words, if he really did do it, that lawsuit (1) probably couldn't have gone forward without looking into it more, and (2) if he did do it, that lawsuit was a smokescreen and he would be liable to repay all the money and other negative consequences.

I hadn't told her about some of the doctors speculating on possible strangulation and the bone scan.
