Robo--it could end up in courts for the very reasons the rest of it did--the parents didn't have a grasp of the reality of the situation. Which is why I found it extremely ironic that early in the week there were quite a few headlines that pronounced that the Schindler's were "dealing with reality."

What I find so appalling, and seems to be the one thing that I didn't see said outloud (while admitting that I didn't read every angry negative article about this case) that the whole incident was treated like a death penalty case. As if this was Carla Fay Tucker all over again. As if these appeals were conducted because her husband was willfully putting a rational person to death with impunity. The idea that so many doctors and rational intelligent people in the hospice saw the truth of her condition, yet the Bushes, the U.S. Congress, and in the end even Jessie Jackson and various and sundry others acted as if those same intelligent people would let him "excecute" his wife if there was a glimmer of hope.
