Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist, who took a leading role in the Terry Schiavo case, said Sunday it taught him that Americans do not want the government involved in such end-of-life decisions. That's something that bears repeating......
Americans do not want the government involved in such end-of-life decisions.

Government should be involved in some end of life situations.
We need a l-o-n-g discussion, to determine where to draw the line.

Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist, who took a leading role in the Terry Schiavo case, said Sunday it taught him that Americans do not want the government involved in such end-of-life decisions. Hopeless Presidential Candidate Frist is overlooking the involvement of the government in the person of a certain probate court judge who somehow found himself an authority on matters of life and death.

Asked on NBC's "Meet the Press" if he had any regrets regarding the Schiavo case, Frist said: "Well, I'll tell you what I learned from it, which is obvious. The American people don't want you involved in these decisions." I like a smart man. We do not want the government involved in these decisions.

It was precisely "the government" in the person of Circuit Judge George Greer, who decreed that "the law of this case is that this girl will die". It was the private citizens in the person of Terri Schindler-Schiavo's parents and siblings who were prevented from effectively appealing this dictatorial decree (by the legal impossibility of getting the case ever reassigned to any other agent of the goverment, a judge, because of the way the government sets the rules).
So in fact the question is not really "should the government be involved in such cases" -- but "how in the world do you get the government from having total control"?

The man who will never be President speaks.
Senator Frist, are you aware the Judiciary is part of the Government?

"Looking back, Frist said, "When you're taking innocent life, with parents who want that life preserved, you've got to make sure, and therefore stepping in to say, let's take one more review, that's what we did."
Well it's a good 'talk-the-talk' rant Billy boy but the Senate and Congress caved in and bowed to the tyrranical courts death warrant on Terri Schiavo...perhaps that bespectacled old crumdrudgeon Carl Levin (D) had thrown in a monkey wrench but you country-club spineless Republicans did not exercise your constitutional authority over the courts and allowed a cretin swamp judge Greer to trump the Feds....no guts no glory pal. Put legs to your words next time or defer to one with the cajones for the job.

Funny how people claim not to want the government involved, but they supported the government ordering the murder of an innocent woman. They just don't support the government performing its most sacred duty; defending the lives of the citizens.

I have been involved with dying patients since 1976.
Every single law or regulation passed since then (and they are, by now, innumerable) has made the situation worse.
Those who say, don't know and those who know, don't say.

If the govt. is to stay out of all end of life issues, then let Kervorkian out of jail, make suicide legal, leave Roe V. Wade in place, let doctors decide when the aged have become useless, and allow euthenasia at every doctor's discretion.

Most murderers find the government unwanted, Dr. Frist. Shall we fire all homicide dicks and prosecuters specializing in murders, and strike all laws against murder. Right-o, Dr. Frist. Bring us all into Bedlam.

If government can't protect a woman from being murdered by her adulterous husband...what use is it?
To: NormsRevenge
All murders are "end of life" decisions.
