The New England Journal of Medicine reported this week that EEG tests of Schiavo's brain have been "flat," indicating no activity in the cortical areas of higher function.
You want to argue with the NEJM? Be my guest.

"People have the right to refuse medical treatment," Bigoney said, "and people who have lost the ability to make their own decisions have the right to have medical treatment refused on their behalf."

In Schiavo's case, she did not have a living will. But Michael Schiavo, her husband, has said she told him she did not want extreme life-sustaining measures taken, and the courts have so far honored that.

"The decision to remove the tube is certainly within acceptable medical standards," Bigoney said. "He appears to be the appropriate person making a decision in the appropriate way."

Sentenced to die on hearsay alone
That is absolute BS. Nothing else.

For decades, the pro-death secularist Liberals have been whittling away at the respect for life we once held.
There are people on this site who would probably have a stroke if they found out I had been called a liberal.

In this struggle to weaken our sense of right and wrong, activist judges have taken upon themselves power they were never intended to have.
More crap. Judges have life-and-death power in capital murder cases. Do you object to that?

Judges tend to support each other to preserve their collective power
Then why do we keep getting these 5-4 USSC decisions?
