I firmly believe, however, it is not the roll of congress to address what is clearly a family matter that belongs in the state courts.

I agree.

I guess the lesson we should all take from this is to have our wishes in writting.

I wonder how many people having followed this case have done so after seeing all the pain and anguish this case has caused.

The proposed FLorida bill was worse. People with living wills would have to amend them. Also, people deliberately not eating or drinking due to terminal illness can leagally refuse noutrition and make this known to their family and doctors in advance, but the momoent they become unconcious, the tube goes in unless its a notarized statement contrary. Much too intrusive in my opinion.

My wish is already in print and, between life and death, I chose LIFE.
