Some points, beeline.

First, only two or three judges have been involved from the get-go. Greer himself has had this case for at least 10 years. So, there aren't that many judges agreeing with Mr. Schiavo.

Secondly, the videos are all they have. Mr. Schiavo has a court order forbidding video equipment or some such as this. When 10 secs is all you have and you want to save your daughter's life, that's what you use. **In fact, as of yesterday, her parents have again been banned from seeing her, as they have been on at least one other occasion during this situation.

Third, God does allow humans to act. The question is, are they acting appropriately?

Finally, dying is not natural. We were all created for life, not death. Sin brought death into the world. We were made in God's image and were made for life.

Thanks again for thinking of my kids.

Well, in addition to Judge Greer, the following courts have agreed with the nefarious Mr. Schiavo:

Judge Baird of Florida’s Sixth Judicial Circuit Court;

Florida Court of Appeals Judge Altenbernd (with no less than five opinions stemming from appeals of decisions by Judges Baird and Greer);

the Florida Supreme Court (also with no less than five reviews of the case stemming from state and federal legislative action as well as reviews of Florida appellate court decisions);

Judge Moody of the United States District Court for the Middle District of Florida; and

the United States Supreme Court (refusing on two occasions to intervene, and necessarily reviewing the state court decisions and the briefing of the parties in connection with this refusal).

Ok, the Fifth Circuit hasn't weighed in yet, but that's still a pretty exhaustive review process.
