From what I read, the many hours of tape included lots of stuff they didn't show-- they only showed the moments that made it look like she was responding... you know, blind squirrel and all that.

I also do not oppose euthanasia, and would prefer someone being allowed to die be given drugs to let them die, but in Schivo's case, I sincerely doubt she felt anything.

If it were you, Rupert, would you want to be trapped in a body that couldn't think, couldn't move, couldn't do anything, or would you want to be let go?

In any event, sixteen (I think it was sixteen) judges, over half of them conservatives, had heard the case and found repeatedly in favor of the husband. But clearly the current man in the White House has no respect for separation of powers (see "torture" and "court finds against it"). Did you like how he spent our tax dollars on his special midnight flight back to Washington to sign that bill about her?

Hey now... he's allowed his opinion as well. Only Schivo knows what she felt... and we'll never know that, will we? I would rather her have been put to sleep in Kevorkian style than starved to death. JMO.
