I think your point is well taken, not only with regard to this thread, but in general. NOTHING could compare with the Nazi atrocities in the 30's and 40's. And as a Jew, I've always found comparisons of isolated cases with anything Nazi related tasteless.
As for the Schiavo case and the "slippery slope", I'm not so sure we're headed in that direction either. But there is much more to the Schiavo story than we know now, I believe it will come out sooner or later. The question is how "over the top"is it to request that an independent expert witness an autopsy in Pinellas County? Is there a precedent for it? It seems to me to refuse such a reasonable request, given the unanswered questions about this case raises suspicion that someone is trying to hide something here.
If you just dispassionately look at all the actions Michael Schiavo with his scuzzy lawyer have been taking in the past few years, there needs to be a thorough investigation of Michael Schiavo. And one more question: What kind of reputation does the ME of Pinellas Cty. have? I think that's also important.
We can still condemn this and raise questions without invoking the unique evil that was Nazi Germany. Can't we?
You might be interested to read what this "scuzzy" lawyer has written - he wrote a book some time ago - there's some passages on threads in FR - he sees himself and a sort of angel of death - thinks he's doing people a wonderful service by putting them out of their misery.
there is one doctor they used to falsely state that Terri's was without a brain - etc etc (this same doctor testified in the famous Robert Wendland case in California in the 1990's) there is a cabal of these deathCrats -
Decent people can't conceive of such evil - and that is the naivete they count on...This "See no evil..." allows them the time they need to get established
