“And, can it actually be true that ‘most medical professionals’ would

consider people who are on but food and water – not life support – ‘unworthy

of life.’ That’s a bit chilling – I don’t think you have to be an

’absolutist’ to feel that way.”

There is the nub of our disagreement, Kathryn. I think that, after FIFTEEN

YEARS, you *do* have to be an absolutist to think that way.

The life Terri Schiavo has is not worth living. I wouldn’t want to live it,

and I wouldn’t want anyone I care about to live it. For once, I believe,

the courts have got it right. For pity’s sake, let this poor woman die.
