The major media treat as a given that Terri Schiavo was in a persistent vegetative state (PVS). Though a PVS diagnosis does not change the morality of not providing food and water

PVS is not actually a medical condition.  It is a diagnosis whose sole purpose is to allow nutrition and hydration to be withheld.  By creating this fictitious condition, medical facilities are free to kill patients who are using resources they would prefer to have available to others.  The "diagnosis" avoids legal liability for their actions.

You are a very smart person.

I want your address your genealogy and your signature.( To resale for later monetary gain).

I'm not kidding.
