So much for living wills

Wow! Terri Schiavo has been dead for, what, a week? And already, a judge has ignored the wishes of an elderly woman and paved the way for her imminent demise. We know what the wishes of this elderly woman are because she put them in writing in the form of a living will.

All the talk about the neccesity of a living will is apparently meaningless, because, as a lawyer friend once told me, "The law is whatever the judge says it is." This case looks nothing like mercy - it looks a lot like convenience, and maybe even greed. This is really scary stuff.
