Nothing much new here. I don't think the story is very well presented, either. But it's good to see Bobby Schindler's clear sight and dedication at work.

"We should not be labeling someone with a brain injury or a person who is disabled as vegetative. It is a very dehumanizing term," [Schindler] said, adding that the only reason it is used is to allow someone to make the decision to terminate a life.

"I do not see why there is any need to diagnose people with this condition unless the purpose is to kill," he said.

Right you are, Bobby. It's a license to kill.

Terri Schiavo's family carries on fight against euthanasia

The writer mistakenly terms it an end-of-life debate, but Terri was not dying. She was healthy. The coroner gave her 10 or more years still to live. The issue that ought to concern everyone is that Terri's unalienable rights to property, liberty and life were all stripped away by order of a dishonest court. The court ordered her dead. It would not even let her have ice chips in her mouth to ease her agony.
