Lets see Michael and his brother ,and his companion, Judge Greer, Michaels lawyer, 19 other judges who wouldnt intervene. The Bush Brothers, ---who did intervene , but wouldnt send in the Army or the National Guard--All Democrats and anyone who didnt agree with the far right, and now Danforth all EEEEEEEEEEEEEEevil.

Nothing like making a political football out of a poor woman who had suffered enough.

Go ahead, pass a law involving the government in the relatives decision to stop artificial life support. One day you will wake up wondering what happened.

And who decided that the parents weren't "relatives" and had no say if it wasn't the government? Even if the government doesn't decide, it is intimately involved in deciding who decides and under what circumstances. Otherwise all killing would be legal. Keeping the government out of the decision is a slogan for morons.

And Greer didn't just stop artificial life support. He forbad food and water by any means. If you support that then you are the same monster he is.

I don't think Danforth is evil.

Compromising and stupid, perhaps.

If you consider nourishment and hydration artificial life support, we already have laws to prevent this. Especially from birth through age 18, for humans.

Animals have it even better, where their caregiver must provide sufficient hydration and nourishment under penalty of law. You can butcher an animal, or kill it outright. You cannot legally starve, dehydrate, or torture it to death.
