"My wife used to work in a Cancer ward and almost EVERY NIGHT she came home in TEARS." It's no fun in a pediatric ICU. The plug gets pulled on kids all the time, whether they want to die or not, so maybe we'll be seeing more of the christian right sticking their noses in other parents decisions soon because what happens in pediatric hospitals is way more dramatic than Schiavo's situation. I'll give you one example, and there are thousands... A six year old male child is admitted following a a car accident. The child can see through its eyes, but can't blink (the eyes have to propped open). Brain activity is such that doctors know the child is completely cognizant, in fact, yes and no signals can be deciphered. The child cannot breath on its own, needs to be tube fed, the parents decide they do not want their child to grow up under these conditions.... They pull the plug, but nobody asks the kid if he wants to live. The Shiavo situation is all political and religious right hay making, imo. There's more plug pulling going on than people realize.
