So this is about Jim King's legacy, no matter how many people die. He just wants his name in a history book.
You'd think he'd be ashamed to have his name connected to this.

King may have crafted the so-called right-to-die legislation, but Wise's bill would address feeding tube removal, which is not considered artificial life support in other states, and was not considered life support when Terri collapsed, nor when she made the alleged statement that she would not want to life "on tubes."
Therefore, I don't see why King would be up in arms about his "legacy" being dismantled. Better to have a loophole in his legacy closed than to be remembered as the statesman who made it the equivalent of a capital offense to be disabled and in need of a feeding tube.
