Right-To-Live

Isn't this headline a bit backwards:

Fla. Right-To-Die Case Goes Back to Court

Why, AP, do you insist on this?

Isn't this really, after all, a Right-To-Live case?

CLEARWATER, Fla. - Terry Schiavo's parents and husband square off in court today over whether he is fit to be her guardian.

Of course not.

More disgustingly:

Doctors have ruled that Terri Schiavo is in a persistent vegetative state with no hope for recovery, and would live no more than a week or two without getting food and water through the tube inserted into her abdomen.

Neither would many who live by TPN (Total Parenteral Nutrition) and other extraordinary means (for more on TPN visit Nutrishare).

This is a heart-sickening case.
