It sounds to me like the judge is upholding the law that's on the books -- isn't that what we want our judges doing?!?!

Where is that piece of paper that has Terri Shiavo's living will written on it? This judge is accepting Michael Shiavo's word for this all. That Terri once said in passing she did want to kept alive. A fair judge would not take M Schiavo's word for this. Especially when her family is willing to take care of her.

There of course isn't one. But, as I understand it, the husband can make the call to pull the tube because he's her closest relation, regardless of whether there's a living will or not, based on existing Florida law.

My mind was changed this weekend on this case by that great liberal George F. Will.
