[Vision2020] Terri Schiavo and the US Congress

You fail to understand the spirit of my e-mail, Mr. Dredge.

I simply do NOT like congress deciding for me, especially the likes of Tom
Delay.

In my opinion, everybody should have a living will.  It would avoid such
problems as these.

We could learn a lot from crayons: some are sharp, some are pretty, some are
dull, some have weird names, and all are different colors....but they all
exist very nicely in the same box.

What if you're kid was connnected to life support and
his/her spouse wanted action opposed to what you
wanted?  Would you maintain the same position that the
spouse should have the final say?

Personally, I would not want to live in a permanent
vegetative state and now I have it written down here
and archived on v2020.  However, I don't want to be
starved to death either.  You wouldn't do that to a
dog.  I would prefer the lethal dose of morphine and
yet somehow that is unethical compared to starving
someone to death.  Go figure.
