So Congress and our President are moving heaven and earth to save Terri Schiavo from a death worse than... what exactly?
Anyway, it sets a great precedent. I trust they will also be moved to action when, say, a small child with muscular dystrophy in Memphis loses her Medicaid payments that allow her to live at home with nursing care. Or that their compassion extends to people who go bankrupt taking care of their disabled children. Oops, except it doesn't.
Nonetheless, Terri's saga has provoked heart-searching and important conversations all over America, as spouses turn to each other to wrestle with the big "What Ifs" of life.
"Honey, if Tom DeLay should end
up on life support in a vegetative state..."
