Hey, this isn't about judges gone bad, legislatures passing laws they know will be knocked down, or even about how this woman's husband has managed to get away with a socially approved murder.

This is about who determines when we die.

But Brian Schiavo, the brother of Mrs Schiavo's husband Michael who has argued for her to be allowed to die with dignity, strongly disagreed, telling CNN that Terri Schiavo "does look a little withdrawn" but insisting she was not in pain. He added that starvation is simply "part of the death process".

Yes, dehydration is (sometimes) a part of the death process...the natural death process. Natural meaning when God decides it's time for one to die. Starvation is not (in this case) natural. There are people in my area who have gone to JAIL for not feeding their horses. Mass murderers are killed with an injection.

To not afford this woman the same rights animals and criminals have is cruel. To murder her instead of allowing her to die naturally says a whole lotta bad about our society.

That's what this is about.

*bump* This is about both. The ethics of forced starvation, as well as the errors of law that found from witness testimony that Terri would have ordered this course of medical neglect for herself.
