Jeb, grow a set of B*lls and rescue this woman, NOW, do it now.......

WTF? Rescue? "Rescue" how? What you call "rescue" seems more like "condemn to another who-knows-how-many decades of hopeless bed-ridden imprisonment" to me.

I've never found myself in such overwhelming disagreement with the general Free Republic opinion as I have in this case.

I guess I better hurry up and get a living will written, lest I have an accident and a bunch of holier-than-thou do-gooders take it upon themselves to condemn me or my empty shell to a state of perpetual hopelessness while torturing and vilifying my spouse.

President George W. Bush is "saddened" by the US Supreme Court's refusal to order Terri Schiavo's feeding tube reconnected, White House spokeswoman Dana Perino said Thursday.

"The president is saddened by the latest ruling. When there is a complex case such as this, where serious questions and doubts have been raised, the president believes we ought to err on the side of life," she said.

Bush was spending the week at his ranch near this tiny town, and learned of the court ruling from a senior aide, she said.

Asked whether Bush was contemplating further legal action to help the severely brain-damaged woman, who tragic case has drawn international attention, Perino demured.

"We know there are still efforts underway by the parents and the state of florida to save her life, we cont to stand with those who are on the side of defending life," she said.

A living will expresses what your desires are when it comes to life-sustaining medical treatment. They are by necessity limiting due to their inability to foresee all things that might happen to you.

In NY, we also have health care proxies, which permit you to appoint someone else to make medical decisions for you if you are incapacitated. It's kind of like a power of attorney for medical decisions. Check to see if MA has these.
