Perhaps Schiavo had some advance notice about the new policies of the Pinellas County Sheriff's Department concerning adulterous relationships.

In regards to the first link:
I'm not sure that the new rule at the sheriff's office would have any bearing on Michael and Jodi. When I read the article, it sounded like it applied to those in the sheriff's office who were committing adultery with each other. Maybe it wasn't worded well, and maybe I misunderstood. It just didn't make sense to me. Jodi doesn't work the sheriff's office, too, does she? I know her mother did (before she died at Michael and Jodi's home). Even so, it seems like the Schiavo-Centonze situation wouldn't apply, since Michael was "legally" *separated* from Terri as of March 31, 2005.

Anyone besides me see a lot of "law","professor","ethics", and "bioethics" in that paragraph? Ph.D.'s are not the same as M.D.'S yet they are effecting the way medicine is practiced. I think this is one of the areas that supporters of anti-euthanasia (my take-off of the term "anti-abortion") need to make inroads if we're ever going to get anywhere.
