But where does it stop?

Do whe then start going to court because a parent wants to end the life of a child with Cerebral Palsy?

What about people who've been in coma's for years on end? Should we devise some kind of Euthanasia machine for them?

Or what about Christopher Reeve? They said he'd have only lived about 7 hours had he not recieved medical treatment?

Once the line is crossed on something like this, it starts us down a slippery slope that we can not hop to climb back up from.

When there are loving, related care-givers waiting in the wings, and when there are so many conflicting, unaddressed claims about the patient's actual state and the arguably criminal conduct by current care-givers, why the rush to terminate the patient, and allow the destrution of evidence (the body and records)?

This case screams out for independent review.

Our justice system is cancerous and BROKEN, BROKEN, BROKEN.

The population is so in love with the idea that "we have been given a perfect governmental system, thanks to our benevolent ancestors the Founding Fathers", that they are blind to its crippling flaws.

In fact, the population is intellectually lazy, and unwilling to elect responsible leaders. They are prime candidates for allowing their system self-destruct into a monstrous tyranny.
