The other Will, Living, that is, and the perpetrated lie...

"There's an awareness of doing this kind of thing, but like drawing up any legal document, people tend to procrastinate," said Kate O'Malley, senior program officer at the Oakland-based California Healthcare Foundation, which released the survey. Recent high-profile cases, including that of Terri Schiavo, have brought the issue of advanced health care directives into the spotlight. Schiavo, a Florida woman in a persistent vegetative state, died last year when her feeding tube was removed after nearly a decade of court battles between her husband and parents over her care.

Schiavo, a Florida woman in a persistent vegetative state, died was inhumanely starved and dehydrated to death last year when her feeding tube was removed after nearly a decade of court battles between her husband and parents over her care a judge gleefully gave her adulterous, estranged husband permission to murder her.

Fixed it.

>> "Other commentators approved the state-sanctioned starving of Schiavo, not because she wanted it (which was the legal premise), but because they deemed her unworthy of individual rights. These confused casuists finessed poor reasoning and meager morals with convoluted and crude attempts at a cut-off point, whereby a human being ceases to be a human being, and henceforth can have his inalienable rights revoked by the demiurges of science and state."

God knows, we had flocks of them drop in on us. I suppose some of them fit Ms. Mercer's description as casuists, rationalizing their moral confusions. Some, though, were relentless in their pursuit of evil. They were not reasoning "poorly." They were twisting words and facts on every point. They lusted for Terri to be killed.

"gleefully" is le mot juste.

Like the infamous Terri Schiavo intervention by Congress,

"Infamous"?! What in the hell is the matter with these people? Pearl Harbor was infamous, September 11, 2001 was infamous, the Holocaust was infamous, Terri's murder was infamous. There are plenty of examples of infamy in recent history, but Congress trying to save an innocent woman from being murdered ISN'T ONE OF THEM!

Now the casuists are back under rocks elsewhere. I think confused means evil. I would like to twist more than their words.

Thanks a lot for poisoning your party, your state and your religion, John Danforth!

Arrgh. I'd love to read Dr. Szasz's article that Ms. Mercer refers to, but it seems to be a paid item -- twenty bucks.

The best solution would be for YOU to spend the twenty bucks and then post it all here so that the rest of us can save money!

N-O E-N-T-I-E-N-D-O!

You could pay in sterling. It is only £14 GBP.

mel martinez did a memo, that was all. imo, he's not capable of doing an actual legal opinion.

Yes, it would have helped the GOP to save the life of an innocent woman but they got more fundraising dollars for killing her.

Next: Judge Greer and George Felos' new book: "We Did It!"
