Spokesman Bill Chiang said that Nixon immediately wanted to fulfill his frequent contention during the campaign that the state of Missouri had no business being involved in the dispute

Let's see...

But in Florida, the State Judge Greer has the final say on the killing of disabled people like Terri. Right?

This is confusing.

Who is in charge of defending the most vulnerable?

Immediate family and the good caring doctor in your life.
You see, it is about privacy and family rights. Things we care about on our end of things, of course. As a homeschooler, I don't want the state telling me what to teach my kids, for instance.

Though you do know the insurance companies have been running the show for quite some time now. Trust me, I have disabled kids who are very expensive to care for.

By far one of the more chilling things I have read recently was the blurb I posted about Jason Childress, in which one family member who wanted life for Jason, spoke about the *hospital* having decided to not do any rehab with him and to not provide antibiotics if he were to get sick.

This is a chilling and *real* warning of the futile care policies Wesley has written about in his books and elsewhere. Looks like they are coming sooner than I had thought in some parts of the country.
