I have to say here that I truly believe that Jeb is working swiftly and silently. I hope that in my heart of hearts. Remember, he and W are of the same cloth. And W is very good at popping in after having worked behind the scenes. He's not "not doing anything", rather he's just not doing it in the spotlight -- biding his time. Please, Jeb, be doing that...
God, please let this be so.
Interesting...maybe someone with some free time might explore where this went?:

UK BILL TO BAN EUTHANASIA BY STARVATION AND DEHYDRATION MOVING IN HOUSE
LONDON, March 14, 2003 (LifeSiteNews.com) - The Society for the Protection of Unborn Children (SPUC) has reported that the upper house of the UK's parliament has approved the first stage of a bill to ban euthanasia by starvation and dehydration. The Patients' Protection Bill, tabled by veteran pro-life campaigner Baroness Knight of Collingtree, was given a second reading in the House of Lords Wednesday and sent without a vote to a committee for further consideration.
The bill has received support from across the political spectrum, says SPUC. Lord Howe, the Conservative health spokesman, said: "[T]he volume of letters and e-mails that I have received on the subject testifies to the widespread concern that exists among the public about the treatment of terminally ill and frail elderly people in our hospitals." Lord Carlile, a medical lawyer and Liberal Democrat peer, said: "What cannot be acceptable is the deliberate withdrawal of the very basis of human life - food and water, nutrition and hydration."
