It also took practicaly non-stop coverage of the Scott/Laci Peterson case for the facts about the prevalance of pregnant wives being killed by their husbands there are--
I can't recall the number right now, but I remember being shocked at how many husbands killed their pregnant wives---
NOW, I am shocked at how "common" starving/dehydrating someone to death is---and yet, if a congresscritter even hinted at using this method on death row in a prison, WATCH OUT!!!!
What if the prisoners ate gitmo didn't get their 3 square meals a day?
I think that this pandora's box is opened now, and should be examined for the questionable practice of starving people (disabled) to death---
Think of the IRONY that Kervorkian that came up with a quick, painless VOLUNTARY form of "death with dignity", is in prison, but MS and Judge Greer are being hailed as heros by more than half of this country---
SCARY!!!!!
This whole thing is a victory for heathens and insurance companies who will in the future stop coverage and will force "a dignified end"!
Did we ever think we would live to see "Soylent Green" become a form of reality in our lives?
Good. That's exactly what I've been hoping to do. Get people to realize that, if they really think removing a feeding tube from Shiavo is wrong, then they need to examine the entire practice. Stop letting their emotions over one case rule their heads.
