Me too, different situation, same result. It's always the same result, it's a matter of how you get there. It's never easy to make decisions when it's someone you love and remember as another person, and it's life or death. That's why I feel sorry for all the family members. This never should have been in the papers, and certainly never should have gone to the federal level. I can understand how the family members, on both sides, got to where they are. What I can't understand is how our media and politicians let themselves get dragged into this thing. Imagine a world where the media and the politicians had respect for privacy, and made an effort to understand and respect what was news and what was people's private tragedy. That's the country I grew up in. Modern medicine is able to extend life, though not necessarily the quality of it. We will have huge numbers of people in Shiavo's state as baby boomers age. Get a living will and a healthcare proxy folks, with someone you trust as your POA. Al
