And in that case, I think we might possibly have let her down...not allowing a more humane active passing, rather than having to resort to "natural" death by removal of hydration. That's a distortion of prinicples, implying that disAbled people are somehow kept alive "artificially" if they require assistance. Again, we must focus on the rights, not on the "natural/artificial" aspects.



If it was not for the real tragic of her murder, I would LOL of your post with it's kind of "liberal" leaning. However, since you are so eager to tell US that WE let her down, why don't go and read Mark Furhman's book? He worked specifically on the case for several months before her "death." I'm sure he knows far more about this case than you and I combined, because he was there. If you don't know who Mark Furhman is, check out the O.J. murder case!!!

It is liberal only in the classical sense, but I would say that it is a rather conservative notion to respect our Constitution and support an individual's rights and preferences without interference from the government or others. Perhaps you're one of the "new conservatives" who think you know better than others how to run their lives and want a Big Nanny overseeing us all, but that's not my definition of true conservatism.

I know who he is. In fact, I even know how to spell his name.
