EUREKA -- More than 15 years before she would become a household name, while still a vibrant, healthy 27-year-old, Terri Schiavo had yet to think of end-of-life planning, but perhaps she should have.
Had Schiavo planned ahead for the end of her life, as she had planned her wedding or her college career, chances are her name wouldn't have been in headlines across the nation, the governor of Florida and the United States Congress would never have intervened in her case and she would have died, or continued to live, in the way that she wanted and planned for.
But Schiavo didn't have a written plan, and by the time of her March 2005 death, the battle over her end-of-life wishes, which spread over seven years and included a plethora of motions, appeals, petitions and hearings, was well-documented and well-publicized.
Planning ahead: It's never too early to talk about end-of-life health care wishes

Thread from markomalley, thanks, narses. EU (pronounced Ewweeeeeeeuuuu) seeks to market its pro-abort agenda.
Pro-lifers are claiming that the EU is putting pressure on countries to abandon their pro-life laws and to comply with a pro-abortion agenda.
Biblical Family Advocates said it learned recently that the EU is putting pressure on countries to abandon their pro life laws. The group cites the article, “EU Threatens to Withdraw Aid to Nicaragua if Pro-Life Law Remains,” to claim that the EU is putting pressure on a country that receives aid from it.
“I was also amazed recently that the country of Malta, an EU member country, was feeling pressure from the EU and the UN to abandon their pro life laws,” said Phil Magnan of Biblical Family Advocates.
