[plain talk]

The movement to say, 'You've got to have Tom DeLay act as a third-party surrogate witness before you can have medical treatment stopped' seemed to be irrefutably silenced by the autopsy report," Dr. Caplan said

fairly callous and clumsy statement for a doctor to make.

I've said it before and I will say it again because it is true. Your "Living Will" (really Advance Directive) won't save you. I will make legal mincemeat out of anything like that in court as long as I can pile up enough unchallenged hearsay evidence and have the ear of a sympathetic (and probably conflicted) jurist. That is the real and dangerous precedent that the Schivao travesty of justice set, and is conveniently ignored by the "Kill Terri" crowd (because in this case they got their wish for Terri to be killed).

The elites wanted Terri Schiavo dead because her execution was a victory for the medical killing ("bioethics") movement. I expect the Times to continue this crusade with the same fervor they showed when they demanded that private golf clubs admit women.
