Sorry for being short with you. This case bothers me deeply. I don't how to fix the system. A just system depends on just stewards. The judicial process contains enough technicalities that it can make any decision it wants, principle be damned. That isn't justice. This case certainly isn't justice, and a legally innocent human life was terminated without just cause.

"Sorry for being short with you. This case bothers me deeply."

Appology accepted.

This case has really brought to the forefront to me that the medical profession really does kill patients before their bodies and brains are ready to go. I suspected it with my mother, my stepfather, and my stepmother.

Everybody says this just shows the importance of having directives. The only problem with directives is if you write you want no life support what if you just had pneumonia (still young age) where you were not able to breath. In that situation a lung machine would keep you alive long enough to get over the pneumonia. If you had said no artificial help then they would let you die.

My parents all had directives. This made it simple for the medical profession to start the process. All of them at the end didn't really want to die.

Speaking of process. Did you hear Felos today in his grandios appearance in front of the media, say that the hospice nurses came to him and Michael and said; "You need to come now as we are ready to start the final process?"
