Since she's being starved to death, I guess it's a moot question. If you're suggesting she's too expensive to deserve to live, I can't go with you there.
As for your point that hundreds of thousands of other people are dying, so (I infer you to say) why the big deal about her? Well, for one thing she's being KILLED. And also, I assume it's because she's put a face on what may be a larger phenemon (who knows?) of the deliberate starving of disabled people -- a shocking practice if we've quietly allowed it to become commonplace. It certainly wouldn't be the first time one individual whose story touched hearts -- or caused outrage -- merited special attention for that very reason (think Anne Frank - hardly the only victim of the Holocaust, but her personal story is known to every schoolchild); or think Ward Churchill - hardly the only demented leftist professor, but because we became unusually aware of his ravings, he was for weeks the focus of almost Schiavo-like attention (hmm, I don't remember you complaining about that, but I digress.... )
Anyway, when my neighbor is being mugged and I hear her screams, I don't turn up the TV to drown them out, on the grounds that, worldwide, there are thousands suffering a similar fate. I go to her aid because she's a human being, because her fate is an outrage - and because, unlike those thousands of other victim situations, it has been brought to my attention.
You're an awesome writer, please stay around.
Since Felos took $357,000 of the $700,000 set aside for her care and THERAPY, maybe that's where we should look. Michael, with the approval of Felos, violated the instructions of the jury. Let him pay. Let Felos pay.
