Ken, Kat, Beth et al,
I have mixed emotions about the Schaivo case. What I do not understand
is the US Congress enntering the fray. That will set precedence for years to
come!
This is a sad case of both sides of the family digging in and competing
for control. I heard this week before her
heart attack she was bulimic which tellls me alot about her family dynamics.
I will not go into it since my view is theoretical. Let's just say it
explains to me the guilt feelings of her parents. As for drs. disagreeing,
they do that every day.
Bobby
