The focus, right now, is on Terri Schindler-Schiavo.

Lets step back from this one emotionally laden case for a moment, and deal with the larger issue. What impact does this have on other right-to-life/death cases?

This is particularly an issue for Florida, at least by anecdotal evidence, because of the large numbers of old people they have ...

If someone is so advanced in their senility that they require tubal feedings for nutrition, have no awareness of themselves or their surroundings, can we starve grandma to death? What about a profoundly mentally retarded child? Can we expose him on a hillside like our forebears?
