The Terry Schiavo case

[merlinofchaos]

This right-to-life or right-to-die case, however you look at it, is a complicated issue filled with a lot of misinformation.

A Florida Lawyer who keeps a blog about legal issues has been following the case, and has summarized the facts as the courts have found them.

This is a great page for getting to the real information in the case, about what the Florida courts have found in the case, and why they made the decisions they did. It tells what is currently known about the woman's state and where the argument is. It's a very interesting web page, and now I feel informed enough to pick a side.

strider13, after our conversation on Friday, you'll find this page very interesting; seems we both had a little misinformation of our own, and it should probably be corrected.

Thanks to bryant for the link!

Living that close to the events, you start to get a real sense for how complex this case really is, and how it's being made a scapegoat to everyone trying to prove one point or another.

However the Washington Post had my favorite quote so far on the issue. 'Cheh said she, for one, is happy not to be the one to answer such odd questions. "If I were the judge who got assigned to this by the computer, I'd flee the country," she said.'
