Deciding to kill one's family member is a hard choice for some, perhaps made easier by a new law.
Methinks this law just might have helped Mikey if he had been in Pennsylvania at the time. Looks to me like it may have saved him some unsavory juggling with compliant judges. Perhaps others will interpret it differently.
When Kay Iellimo was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer in October, she didn't have a living will. But her family knew she didn't want to live hooked up to ventilators and struggling through chemotherapy treatments.
On Dec. 30, Iellimo, 74, died "beautifully and peacefully," with no attempts at resuscitation. The family had chosen her daughter, Sharon Panaia, to make the end-of-life care decisions for her.
Snip...
Today, a new Pennsylvania law governing end-of-life care decisions goes into effect. The law is designed to make the process easier on families and fulfill patients' wishes regarding life-sustaining measures. It seeks to avoid controversies such as the prolonged battle over the care of Terri Schiavo, who died in Florida in 2005.
Easing the way for hard choices

Except that he hides behind a left wing publication that practices total censorship. At least the visitors on FreeRepublic have the nerve to post here. Michael does not.
He is welcome to join at anytime. But I suspect he would like to avoid that activity much like he did to Mark Fuhrman who wanted to ask him a few questions.
