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.

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.

Many people are waking up to this case. My sister just started reading about it yesterday.

Your point is well taken - For some reason moral issues like this one bring out the worst in illogical left wing thinking. The argument that "this happens all the time.." and therefore somehow it is OK is just nonsense. Lots of things "happen all the time" that aren't OK - like clerks in convenience stores being shot by robbers. No one in their right mind should think that just because something happens frequently it is acceptable, or a good thing to have happen.
