Schiavo rumblings
saint:
Well my replies are in the other thread, but:
1. The judge ruled that the woman be fed and life sustaining measures given, at this point. I don't quite see how this is murder by judge at all. Until the judge was brought in, at best this was human error or incompetence by the hospital staff, unless someone shows that they deliberately put the woman in this situation contrary to her wishes. Misunderstanding the extent of a power of attorney is a far cry from deliberately deciding to kill the woman.
2. Something this serious shouldn't be done by amateurs, which is most of us. Have a lawyer help you with your living will and power of attorney documents, and make sure many people have copies of them all.

Murder by doctor is starting to get a helping hand from murder by judge. I don't foresee a whole lot of objections to that linked case, either.
I guess it DOESN'T really matter if you've got a living will, you've gotta TATTOO your wishes to your CHEST so some idiot pencil pusher and an imbecile for a judge can actually see you "may have meant what you said" ::)
