You are a fool. The Congress passed a bill to allow the case to be heard "De Novo." The judges ignored the law passed by Congress. That is why people are upset.

Additionally, the question whether you want to live like that or not is irrelevent. The point is that you have parties with clear conflicts of interest putting someone to death who was not dying. Do you not see the problem with this??????

There is no problem, per se. It's isn't as if Michael just up and said, "Kill my wife, please." Mrs. Schiavo had a guardian ad litem, via the courts, who herself, too, that Mrs. Schiavo probably did not want to persist in such a state and that she really wasn't cogent in any meaningful way anyway.

The conflicts of interest were looked into by the courts, more than once, and they weren't deemed sufficient to be a threat to the integrity of the case.
