That was a funny way to vote for a community of people that are a little closer to the feeding tube than other places. I bet this guy doesn't come up for another vote for 6 years. And I bet he'll be elected again.
Actually, the people here are really upset with the proposed legislation to have saved Terri. It would have meant every single living will would have to be rewritten. It would also meant that terminally ill patients who voluntarily give up food and water, after making it known to their familias and physicians, would have a feeding tube inserted when they become unresposive. A lot of seniors were very outspoken about that and thought they had all their affairs in order before this desperate legislation was proposed. That's also why some state republican legislators voted against it - their constituency was objecting. People here really see this as a family matter and don't want the government coming down and interdicting terms.
