>>Everyone should have a written document stating their last wishes. This crap about who should be in charge of these decisions and when would have been avoided.<<
Heck YES! If anything “good” came from the Schaivo case, it was making it clear that everyone should put his/her final desires in writing — it can be done for next to nothing on the Internet.
That is why I and my wife have our final desires on file.
I am not saying it was “good” that Ms. Schaivo passed. The ambiguity she left has created a lot of problems for many.
But we can’t escape the legal issues as well and allowing the Government to interfere in our personal decisions. And the Governments ordering her desires be carried out is the best we could hope for.
But in the final analysis
You called it a *blessing* in post five. What now? A blessing isn't good?
And you didn't call it cold blooded torturous murder like it was, but couched it in liberalspeak calling it a *release*.
Since when is starving and dehydrating someone to death a *blessing* and how can it be *good* that she died in such a gruesome way?
She didn't *pass* either. She was shoved, essentially.
