End of life decisions are made by individuals and families. There are laws, and in T. Schiavo's case a court decided on who was telling the truth. Just because you didn't like the outcome doesn't mean the government should get involved. God help us if they do.

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of Happiness. That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed.

Dreyfus Affair
In 1894, French Captain Alfred Dreyfus was tried for high treason and sentenced to life imprisonment in total isolation on Devil’s Island, off the coast of the peal colony of French Guiana. It took many years for the truth to be known. Dreyfus was totally innocent of the crime and false evidences had been used to convict him.
