Ah, barium. I've swallowed quite a bit of that in the last 15 years or so. I can think of tastier things that are easier to swallow.

We can certainly hope they will do this right, and that they will involve knowledgeable therapists as well as technicians. But it's uncertain whether this hospice or this lawyer can be trusted to supervise matters properly.

What bothers me is the test of swallowing AT ALL. In whose name is my worth decided if I cannot feed myself? Do we then kill those that cannot? Shouldn't we then pull the plug on ALL those with feeding tubes?
This is going to lose. What should be argued here is wether or not Michael has proven clear, compelling and concise evidence that she would want to live. The fact for ANY thinking person is he has not only NOT provided it but been very suspect in areas of his guardianship. Since that cannot be proven beyond a reasonable doubt, he should be removed, and if nothing else a court appointed guardian to do everything or give her to her parents, period.

It really is beginning to bother me this "litmus" test we have to prove that we are worthy to breathe air.
