florida and the right to die......
ok, so that sounds like a glass half empty rather than a glass half full....but in florida, with the 15-year long hospice patient......she does have the right to make a graceful exit, without such a political tugofwar......at one end...you have her spouse, who has moved on and has another family.......i cannot blame him after such a long time with a spouse in a coma.......i couldn't blame my spouse for doing the same...but then i wouldn't have wanted the feeding tube to be intact for 15 years........and then there are her parents....who do not believe that the patient was bulemic, or passed out because of hypokalemia.......and they seem to have bad blood with the spouse that transcends the actual accident......and to bring in the lawyers, the congress, the candlelightvigile folks......omg....that is just too much....let the poor woman die on peace............
