No one would survive if these few people had any say, especially on the alzheimers unit....they would be pulling feeding tubes, shoving people in a corner and telling them it is going to be a peaceful and even a happy death.

A bit hyperbolic wouldn't you say? Since you are related to the Schiavo family perhaps you could tell us the exact relation you have to them and how they are doing? I have to assume you are related as I see you are in Oklahoma and otherwise you would be a nanny interfering with the internal affairs of the sovereign state of Florida which would be none of your business

And yes I have family in rest homes and no I do not shove them into corners or pull feeding tubes. However they do have a DNR and a living will that states when they have chosen is acceptable to pass on to their Heavenly reward

I am glad your family members have a living will. Terri did not.

I am my brother's keeper, therefore, I have an obligation to help those who cannot help themselves.
