Social Issues
I have two words regarding social issues: Terry Schiavo. For those of you who don't remember this national drama, let me refresh your memory. One party (which wasn't the Democratic Party) decided that six years of state level court actions were wrong. One party (which wasn't the Democratic Party) decided that a person's personal choice about the end of her life (as adjudicated by a Republican judge) was not her own business. One party (which wasn't the Democratic Party) decided to perform a medical analysis through video tape and announce the conclusions of that analysis on the floor of the Senate. One party (which wasn't the Democratic Party) decided that special legislation was required to address this situation. One party (which wasn't the Democratic Party) decided to make an extremely personal situation a national political issue.

The Lawyers' Christian Fellowship has lamented the coming into force this month of the Mental Capacity Act 2005. While Dignity in Dying, the pro-euthanasia lobby group, described it as a great day for patient choice!, the LCF said it was a sad day for many elderly and vulnerable people whose lives could be put at risk.
