Terri Schiavo

[Skogs]

I'm pretty sure everyone will have heard of this, but in case you haven't, this article from the BBC gives a pretty good rundown of what's going on.

This raises a whole minefield of ethical and political questions. So... is letting Terry Schiavo die the right thing to do? Was George Bush and Congress right to get involved? Are Bush's concerns genuine, or is this just a political charade? Will the American public respond positively or negatively to this unprecedented government imposition on the judicial system?

I won't comment too much to start, but my initial impression is that this is a political hot potato and a potential minefield for anyone who gets involved. Bush is either very brave or very stupid to get involved.

A day late and a dollar short.

I think the whole thing is insane. Government has no place in the matter. The whole thing is a custody battle and not much more. The husband has custody as he is the husband. He said that should would have wanted to die and multiple other people have said the same thing. Doctors have said she is a vegtable. Parents = Selfish. Government = Retarded.

Aw crap. Foiled by the misleading thread title...

EDIT:// Can we delete this thread - or shall we let it stand closed as a monument to my ineptness...

Just deny everything and it'll be okay.

Take care all.

Ah, the power of puns... but I feel compelled to tell people to read Skog's phrase in his image area. Many may have missed the irony... I almost did.

I'd have merged the threads if it wasn't for the last three posts
