I'm glad to see Dr. Keyes is willing to turn over the decision of life and death to the government, any government, instead of maintaining the status quo of having the family decide, no matter how despicable some of its members may be. Personally, as a conservative, I'm not.

I just hope he didn't donate any to the Schindlers, else he's going to be on Randall Terry's spam list shortly, as they are selling the list of their contributors. I think the whole lot of them are cracked

Actually, no.

In this case the decision was made by the government.

The directive to remove the feeding tube and withold any other sustenance is from the judge. The ruling was not that Schiavo is free to decide, it is that it take place on government's order.

If Schiavo changed his mind and decided he wanted to put the tube back in he would have to legally get permission.

So, your assessment is incorrect.
