Therefore, this case is ENTIRELY comparable to the Schiavo case. I am sure that if enough money were at stake and enough lawyers involved someone could easily have made a good case to kill this poor man several years ago, inculding a self-serving oral recollection that "it's what he would have wanted."

Michael Schaivo is breathing relief.

The article noted "He noted that a similar treatment did not help Terri Schiavo," but when was that treatment tried? There have been marvelous advances over the last 10 years.

1991, or thereabouts. The doctors who made the implantation sounded more like hustlers and experimenters than care-givers. The implant was left in her brain. Michael ended up using that as an excuse for not letting her have any brain MRIs in later years.

You are right, there were many medical advances in the fifteen years before she was killed.

It’s funny because it’s true. I stopped laughing when I realized that liberals are also too broad-minded to take the side of their own country in a war.
