"That infection reminds me very, very, very much......"

Is there still talk of an infection? I read that (on this thread, I think) Sherri someone from the hospice stated on her blog that Terri was fine.

There is no doubt in my mind that recent events make infection a strong possibility to hasten 'the process'.

Where there's a livign will, there won't be this kind of ambiguity as to patient's wishes.

Not if your next door neighbor doesn't agree.

Can you name me one case where the Supreme Court refused to hear a case where the state rulings didn't stand as law?

No. And your question embodies a truism. The same truism that is my point. My point was that the SCOTUS refusal to hear the case had no bearing on the factual testimony, i.e., its decision was based purely on the presence or absence of errors of law, assuming all the facts before the trial court were properly found.

That is Applellate Law 101, as you know.

The Schiavo problem only arose because there's NO living will.

That is an untruth; decisions about removing feeding tubes are made every day in this country without living wills.

This is a "problem" because some people have decided to make it one.

I'm proud of President Bush, DeLay and Sen. Frist for standing up for life. this law only affects Terri's situation. there will be time to look at the issue more broadly. I do think that it has to be reinforced in law that, where a patient did not make wishes known to a clear and convincing level (as Terri didn't) the presumption must be for life - i.e., NOT for starving the patient.

I suspect the Democrats will redouble their drive to bring down DeLay now. He's shown why they hate him - strong commitment to principle, and conservative social values.

"Properly found," he? That sounds very, very close to "let's stand."

Does the USSC let stand laws and/or actions that they believe are illegal or unlawful and not grounded in sound law?

Right, you're living will don't mean squat after today. Chalk one more Federal Government victory to strip away your personal freedoms.

Where are you getting the info on feeding tubes being removed everyday without living wills?

What you don't seem to understand is that the living will would have ended this. Instead of a living will we have a you-know-what-she-told-me-once will.

You better hope they don't "look into it further." If they do, remember I warned you about the law of unintended consequences.

I's dure love to hear your evidence that showsthe jury in the malpractice case found in Michael's favor to send a message to doctors.

Read the transcript stuff on the internet. Learned that MS was the first one to suggest she had bulimia. He found people who of course agreed that her symptoms COULD be related to bulimia although no one ever came forward to say they ever saw her throw up. Sad story about doctor misdiagnosis leading to patient's sad condition. Jury gives money to unfortunate patient. Michael is grateful, says he wants to be a nurse so he can tend to his beloved wife who he will spend the rest of his life with.

Now, on to OJ's jury and the evidence they used to find him not guilty...
