Schiavo No Mo' (?)
Mercifully, the federal court to which the Terri Schiavo matter was inappropriately assigned has declined to intervene, essentially upholding the decision of the Florida courts. Is it over? Scanning the Corner, it looks like there will be yet more appeals.
I first heard about this case on HANNITY & [colmes] a few years ago, and I have a hunch I'll be hearing about it a few years hence.
UPDATE: Very nice Richard Cohen column about the question of the day:
[W]hy not insist that whatever state she's in, she keeps getting a chance at life -- forever? After all, a miracle could happen (DeLay), and she recognizes visual stimuli (Frist) and "she can recover substantially if she gets the proper rehabilitation" (Frist again, this time citing another doctor). Almost no one here is a hands-on doctor, but they don't hesitate to play one on TV.
UPDATE: I read the transcript of that girl's conversation with Terri Schiavo, and I must say, although the issues they discussed were more relevant to the nation's welfare and security than, say, the Schiavo matter, the transcriber greatly overstated Terri Schiavo's level of verbal coherence.
