What is unjust about it? Don't you think this and similar laws are applied almost daily all over the country? What kind of law would you have? Where the government gets to make the decision for the family?

That's not America.

What is unjust about it?

The fact that it violates the principle of a double effect and sanctions error other than that on the side of caution.

Don't you think this and similar laws are applied almost daily all over the country?

The scope of injustice no more makes its act just than the scope of abortion makes it anything other than killing.

What kind of law would you have? Where the government gets to make the decision for the family?

Four out of five most immediate family members, all of them Schaivo's blood relatives, were completely excluded from the decision process. Thus the "family" you claim to have made this decision is in reality one single person: Michael Schaivo.

Your America is apparently the land where a judge orders a disabled woman to be starved to death and defies any and all efforts to save her.

You can have your America. I spit on it.
