About a year and a half ago there was a woman in Florida by the name of Terri Schiavo who was plugged into a feeding tube. She was legally dead. Her husband wanted to let her die. It was Bush and his brother who intervened on her behalf, trying to keep her alive. On the other side were Democrats who fought against it politically.

The fight over whether Terri Schiavo should live or die kept much of the world fixated in early 2005. It was a mixture of politics, religion and family feuding that stretched from Florida courtrooms and hospitals to Washington’s power corridors.
The face of Ms. Schiavo’s brother, Bobby Schindler, appeared worldwide in her final days as he acted as spokesman for their parents. More than a year after her death, the former math and science teacher isn’t finished talking.
"Once we accept a standard for killing somebody based on a subjective condition, where does it stop?" Mr. Schindler, 41, said earlier this week in a telephone interview from his office in St. Petersburg, Florida. "I don’t know where it’s going to go. As humans, we’re called to care for one another, not simply create easier ways to kill each other."
He believes if people did care for one another, they would see his sister’s case differently.
He says the American media distorted or ignored many crucial facts about Ms. Schiavo’s condition, especially her autopsy results. And conflicting medical opinions about her condition should have meant "erring on the side of life."
