Many have already weighed-in on the L'Affaire du Schiavo. Today, I've been a bit despondent, lamenting the immense cruelty required to allow this circus to continue, despite the fact that the overwhelming majority of Americans think the Federal government has no business getting involved. I used to think that the leadership of the Republican Party was mostly made of good people who simply had a different worldview. Well, no more. Culture of Life, indeed.
I'm not sure I can add much to the debate, except to reinforce the notion that unless you want parasites and sycophants to play kick-the-can with your withering, brain-dead body, you should have a Living Will. If you don't have one, stop right now and check out the U.S. Living Will Registry. According to their website, "each state has its own law, and sometimes, its own form." It took me less than 10 minutes to read the instructions for DC/Maryland/Virginia and fill out mine. U.S. Living Will Registry
The horror of the Schiavo case highlights the need for everyone to discuss their health care choices, choose a decision-maker, and prepare an advance directive. Please, please, if you have not already done so, do so as soon as possible. I would not like to personally know the next family 'Roach Farm' DeLay and his Merry Band decide to save.
