What is this stuff?
I’ve never heard about Ozzy having heart problems, so maybe bat’s blood works as well.
Poor Mrs. Schiavo. If there ever was a motivator for having a living will it is this case. I can understand why her parents are holding on to hope she might get better, but I also see where the humane thing to do is let the poor woman die. What I don’t see is why she is caught in the middle of this highly political debate. If they are going to let this woman die, wouldn’t you think it would be more human to give her an assisted suicide? Instead, the tube gets taken out, she suffers more for a few days then the conservatives work to get it stuck back in and she lives a little longer until the tube gets taken out AGAIN. How about they litigate the case, make a binding decision and then leave the tube n or pull it out. The poor woman does not need to keep starving to the brink of death to be brought back to live again. The truly depressing thing about her story is the fact that her aneurism was triggered by complications from her eating disorder.
That is a sad and sick twist to this tale. This is not a political pawn, but a human being and if the courts are going to be the ones calling the shots about her future, they need to come to a binding consensus and not make her and her family suffer through this process over and over again.Keeping someone alive or letting nature take its course is not playing God. Doing it over and over again for political reasons IS.

This story really brings out my heartless side.....I mean I would never want someone to die. But I seriously think this lady needs to be put out of her misery. I, for one, will be looking into my own living will. Isn't it ironic though that she will die from starvation? Be careful what you ask for....all those years of purging...look what it got her...
From the other side of the world it shows a Government capable and willing to use anything to gain support.
If we do not trust what advice we are given by Doctors and our own Knowledge of what people would want themselves.....as it is put by the writer the parents would naturally want the daughter to live but reality after all these years allow her to go.
The 'Living will situation should be made part of all Driving license tests and renewals for 'endorsement on the license' ... R I P
