It could be. It was a few years ago that I read the story. My recollection is that it was somewhere in Middle America. And that the man's wife was not murderous, just overwhelmed. And the doctors couldn't be bothered to distinguish between the needy and the moribund.

Probably tons of stories could be posted that would fit the description. I could recount at least one more myself, although that woman just had cancer, she didn't need intensive care, but I swear her whole family and even her minister just thought the world would be a lighter place if she died.

That's my point, the Schiavo case is getting a lot of press and a lot of litigation (not wrongly) but this stuff is really happening all around us.

The culture of death is ascendant, and the fashionable think it's fine.
