Well, why "What I would want is relevant" is because that is what the poll was asking people, I was just simply answering the question.
Yes God is in control, and yes family members do love and care for their own. However, the court gave Michael Schiavo guardianship of his wife, even though her family stated that they would care for her.
So the courts made a bad decision years ago. Micheal Schiavo obviously lied when he said he would go to nursing school and care for his wife at home. These facts should have been enough to give guardianship to the parents. But that hasn't happened. Now she has been deteriorating for 15 years. Its very sad.
Ah yes-- well, it's a stupid question, but what do you expect from the media? The coverage of this whole Schiavo case has been distinctly Orwellian.
I have to say, though, that given the attitudes of vast segments of the American public, when the "right to die" morphs into the obligation to die, I'll just shake my head sadly and murmur a bit about how what goes around comes around, and isn't it too bad that all those folks are being offed. Meanwhile, I will care for my loved ones and they will care for me, and we'll stay the hell away from the death-dealing court system.
