It seems Greer is the one who casted the law aside. What fact put before him defines her as vegetative or persistantly vegetative. He has 14 neurologist who say otherwise. In the courts the testimony sworn by professions is considered a fact. If a tort is alleged, both sides put on the case and either a jury or judge adjudicates the conflict. Here the judge finds "no cogent arguement to not withdraw the tube". This is arbitrary and capricious. It errs on the side of death. It is his choice.

This situation has taken on proportions pertinent to each Americans life that are unimaginable as yet. The democrats have uleashed the hounds of hell and where they will go will be told by time and circumstance. They will legislate from the bench in a more pernicious way than ever before. They will become more emboldened if they are not checked now. The definition of life has contracted from the beginning side and now the other end. Life is not defined by physiological processes and biology, but by the perceived "quality" and "value" as defined by the Judiciary. When they rule that you die, who is going to stand in the gap and say no. "Life" will become little more than acceptable, collated, activities which will be constantly reexamined and redefined. Methods will be refined to euphemistically reference termination with dignity. At this point is seems crass to define her planned or outcome based death as death with dignity when she will be dehydrated unto death. I can hear their faxes buzzing now as to try to define themselves before those crazy prolifers define them.

As Caesar said, "We have crossed the Rubricon." This is truely a clash of historic proportions. Until now, we have not actually had to watch the executions. This judicial tyrany, even as the demanded killing is in progress, tries to evade the eyes of those who would try to hold those responsible to account. The debauchery of a judge who orders the victims parents to sit by and watch, but not touch. "You may not attempt to give oral nutrition or fluid" strikes me as hubris beyond contempt and vice. It defines he who would order such as demonic and evil. Think of another person ordering you as a parent to watch as he forced your baby to dehydrate to death. At least Sadam Hussein only put them in a plastic shredder and they were dead within seconds or minutes. Or perhaps a well spent bullet to the head ceased the suffering. But this,....this is grist for horror. This is beyonds the worst depravity reserved for Dantes Hell. When the vet kills a dog or horse, he gives an analgesic and sedative, then injects potassium chloride and the heart stops. No pain, just surrender to the chemicals. Here there will be no such mercy to dull the injustice. Even when Jesus was crucified some were allowed to give vinegar to dull the torment.

We will wake up when the architects of death become so definant and devilish that it cannot be justified by even those who sought it out. By then, dare I say, Neurenburg will seem to have adjudicated those people and they returned to repeat a lesson unlearned.

With all due respect, I don't know what the hell you're trying to say.
