somene today was saying to me "this happens all the time, feeding tubes taken out". I said to her it was not common and only occurred with terminal cancer patients or people on ventilators who were brain dead.

I then asked if that person thought docs were killers. She just had never thought about it, just accepted the idea. I was aghast.

My observation is that those who are defending the court and defending the practice are adept at conflating issues and drawing false parallels. In short, at making the situation confusion when it could be made clear.

I've learned alot in the past couple days -- didn't follow the case close at all until this weekend, but was generally aware of the issues. I am grateful for the FR tool, it has been somewhat helpful.
