Burton has little use for the study....“There are plenty of questions about whether this young woman is conscious and capable of choice.”

So what if she isn’t? She’s a human being.

You are so right about that, it’s not only dehumanizing but inaccurate medically and scientifically.

It has the secondary bad effect of making ordinary people terrified that you will ever gain a smidgen of political power.

Many of us ordinary folk are terrified of those on the opposite side of the argument who have gained political power. I'm not waiting for the day with pleasure for the day that I'm told that it is my responsibility to die for the financial good of those who I'm leaving behind. The voice of those who will make that demand are getting louder daily, as the most despised generation ever (baby boomers) ages.
