On the individual level, that's true. If you check you'll see I've written a lot about that. On a political level, however, the relevance of the case to the husband's supporters was that their own ability to do the same to their aged family members that they'd rather not support. And who has controlled the government and set the policy that allowed Terri Schiavo to be starved? Boomers, both Dem AND GOP. Boomers have had overwhelming political influence because of the relative size of that generation to the ones prior and following, and at some point they will be accountable for the choices that they made. It's too bad for the ones among them who were trying to do the right thing, but I would guess few of them would be left helpless when Social Security and Medicare are abolished.

You're bloviating. Provide the citation or the link to the scholarly study that supports your, in my opinion, unwarranted assertion that boomers support euthanasia to a greater degree than the general population.
