Hey, don\'t misspell my name. I\'m not from Amerika, I\'m from the United States of AmeriCa!
You are not a legal expert, Giga. Congress was attempting to reverse the general direction of state law and judicial rulings in cases like this one. When there is no living will, the decision should either be made by medical experts, as stated in the Texas law that George Bush signed in 1999, or by the next of kin. The Parents are not the next of kin; the spouse is. He would know better what this woman\'s wishes were. That\'s the precedent, and that\'s the basis of the many rulings supporting Michael Shiavo over the years. Why do you assume the courts rulings were based on some political motivation? Why are you so quick to abandon the Rule of Law?
You think it\'s no big deal to leave a human being in a vegetative state just to placate the parents who can\'t let go? I say that is horrific.
