florida autopsy

Today's autopsy announcement showed Terri Schiavo really was beyond medical hope. Shame on Bill Frist, Tom DeLay, Jeb Bush, and everybody else outside of the immediate families for sticking their collective nose in this very private, family situation.

What we need now is a reasonable way to allow the body of people like Schiavo to die humanely. This obviously wasn't an issue for most of human existence since before the 1960s somebody in Schiavo's state wouldn't have been long for this world, but with the medical technology available now, they probably could have kept Schiavo's husk of a body "alive" for another 40 years -- to no end.
