Some things to mull over:

1) Congress going out of the way to make political hay out of a tragedy==that should have been resolved years ago.
2) NPR coverage allowing an edited comment by the mother--just one sentence after the reporter stating that Congress will convene a special session for this matter Sunday---"...behind me my daughter is starving to death". Talk about slanting the news---ala FOX
3) A tragedy that is being multiplied by the political interests and the intransigence of the poor woman's parents (though I feel for them and their hurt---but legally her husband is the final arbiter and not them regarding her care)(here I speak of personal experience).
4) Given that the poor lady is basically "brain dead", "comatose", call it what you will---does no one think it more torturous to constantly remove and then re-insert a feeding tube. Talk about the hypocrisy of the well meaning individuals---well meaning individuals who believe in the "right to life" but deny a dignified death to those in sore need of such. These same people believe in that wonderful right to life----and will murder for it. Seems hypocritical to this simple person who sees gray areas and not black/white resolution to things

Life is not always the answer. Think about this---our religious zealots will have us believe in the wonderful hereafter. Well, why won't they let people go to this wonderful Nirvana? You have to wonder. Could hypocrisy be an answer, could politics, could it be just a simple situation of "...I want things done only as I see fit".?
