Don't believe the bunk about living wills, it is a mixed bag at best.

I believe you. I'm trying encourage people to raise their eyes from one case and look at the larger issues that affect all of us. Might call for a little less emotion and greater critical thinking, but hey, what the heck. They say exercising the gray matter helps keep Alzheimers at bay.

Why is everyone always knocking emotion? Whats so unemotional about the death of your child? Especially when you strongly disagree?

People act as if it impossible to make a rational decision motivated by an emotion. That's not true. If that were the case we would ignore the hungy, the sick, and the dying. Emotionally and rationally, people feel that a person's life should not hang in the balance of someone with such a blatant conflict of interest. That gets me angy. Anger toward a situation is what drives the need to change it. Without emotion, who cares about anything?
