Eric Paulos of North Country Gazette starts the day with this:

Daniel P. Sulmasy, the author of "Are Feeding Tubes Morally Obligatory? which appeared in the January 2006 online edition of St. Anthony Messenger, seems to make that classic leap that many propagandists are guilty of with respect to Terri Schiavo. He's comparing ventilators to feeding tubes and assuming the existence of a burdensome existence where no proof exists.

A little bit of myth busting for the Christmas season here from National Review, including a myth about Terri. This is one ground into the public so much by the death merchants, many think it is true:

I hate it when I see supposedly Catholic media distort the teachings of the Church or the writings coming from the Vatican. Pope John Paul II couldn't have been more clear about church teaching in the case of vegetative patients. It must be time to write to the St. Anthony Messenger. I'll look up the address in a little bit, and then post it.

Remember when I went to Largo Medical and they shoved a living will in my face before they even knew my name?

I've learned through back channels that people from other states are bringing their relatives to Pinellas County for minor problems and if something else happens while they are in a hospital, docs are no coding them instead of treating them. This is happening repeatedly.

What about the judges? There's no need to go through Judge Greer and law enforcement is standing down.

Can you imagine going into the hospital for something minor and ending up in the morgue?
