Like I said, I'm impressed, especially with your involvement. You've probably got quite a few scalps in your belt. I get the impression you like having innocent blood on your hands, kind of reveling in it.

There was a time when doctors were pledged to preserve life. In this brave new world and culture of death, I guess that has changed. Something to be really, really proud of. Well, it looks like you'll have your chance to dance on Terri's grave soon. Maybe Michael will invite you to the celebration when she dies. Meantime, have a glass of water and a bite to eat. That's more than Terri Schiavo is getting.

Au contraire. I fight to preserve life everyday in the overwhemling majority of my patients. If a patient doesn't want to give up, I will be with them througout the night to save their life, and have done on many occasions. But if a patient wants to end extraordinary measures I have no problem withholding all treatment.

This is a really slimy comment, chimera. Doctors aren't making the choices here.

However, in Texas, doctors do get to make the choice, courtesy of a law, signed in 1999 by Governor George W. Bush.
