Even those who felt themselves on Michael Schiavo's side of the heartbreaking Terri Schiavo story must be repulsed by his stony refusal to let her family be at her bedside when she passed from this life. Such unfathomably meanspirited pettiness reminds us that the Schiavo affair, at the heart of it, was a family matter - a quarrel not between right and left, but between in-laws who despise each other.

It is still false that he prevented the parents from being at the bedside. They were there earlier and had left. The brother was there as well.
It is not as though anything happened that shouldn't have been missed. It wasn't as though Terri was going to say something.
The only accuracy in this editorial is that this was a conflict within a family not a matter of right and left or right and wrong for that matter.
