Once More on Schiavo

I have to admit that if Schiavo had a clear living will asking that no feeding tue be administered, I would have wanted her wishes carried out, unlike some other conservatives.

Not that I necessarily think that it is moral to refuse a feeding tube, but I don't see a feeding tube as something that should be forced on someone.

In any case, in the case of Ms. Schiavo, without any recorded wishes on her part, I think we should have erred on the side of life.

If I am in a vegetative state, I want food and water.

That is all.
