I care about anyone in imminent danger of leaving this earth. I must ask, though, how many of them are being deliberately and maliciously starved to death?

If the protesters are causing a disturbance, that is wrong and they should re-think their effectiveness. I have a suspicion that quite a few are there because of the presence of television cameras, much as those people showed up with flowers and teddy bears for JFK, Jr.

That being said, I noticed an interesting comment in this story:

Getz said many people with a family member in a hospice have to make the same excruciating decision that courts have made for Schiavo.

Now, if it is the Same decision, that means that feeding tubes have been removed. Hospices are to ease death, not cause death.

I would say that since this is a hospice, many people are dying in there because their feeding tube has been discontinued.

Each death is significant and for you guys to be so callous about the others, including this granddaughter who rushed in her pajamas to see her grandfather is just sick.

It's hypocritical and disgusting.
