Kindly note too, that Terri Schiavo is a new nadir in shamelessness for the godless, new age, woo-woo death to the disabled camp. America was at least for those "30 years" not willing for this sort of thing to disgrace their TV screens in real time. America kept it quiet and private. Now, that rubicon is crossed. Increase in shamelessness is never a good sign for a nation.
Nope, that's simply not true. This has been going on for many, many years. It's done at the patient's request most of the time. If not the patient, then the next of kin.
Terri just happened to have a crappy next of kin, but that will not define America for goodness sake.
You people sure are drama queens.
