Why is this being decided at law? Why are the courts and judges and lawyers instrumental? Wasn't this whole right-to-die thing about "family decisions" and death with "dignity"? In Terri Schiavo's case, Judge Greer resolutely, year after year, refused to let her family have anything to say. He put her to death himself.

Note my #186, for further irony.

For making the state do its duty, Judge Farnell on Friday received a judicial independence award - named for the judge in the Terri Schiavo case - from the Clearwater Bar Association. According to The St. Petersburg Times, Judge Farnell gloated: "All I've got to say is, eat your heart out, Jeb Bush."

Washington, DC (LifeNews.com) -- Last month, leading Republican presidential candidate Rudy Giuliani appeared to support the efforts members of Congress made two years ago to help Terri Schiavo's parents fight for their daughter's right to live. But, during last week's presidential debate, it seems as if he changed his position.

During the April campaign stop, Giuliani told people in Florida that he supported the state government's efforts to save Terri Schiavo's life.

"I thought it was appropriate to make every effort to give her a chance to stay alive," he said.

Yet, in Thursday's debate, Giuliani appeared to suggest that the controversy surrounding Terri's right to life should have stayed in the courts.

"The family was in dispute. That's what we have courts for. And the better place to decide that in a much more, I think in a much fairer and even in a deeper way, is in front of a court, " he said during the first Republican debate.

The Aztec high priests used to sacrifice virgins by cutting out their beating hearts. So far as I know, the Aztecs did not eat the hearts. Only lawyers sink that low.
