I am a little taken aback at how people think this issue is not worth the debate. irrespective of political affiliations or partisan politics a persons family desperately wants to see her live. everyone makes all these various arguements... however, if you were the parent of a child, would you accept her husbands decision to kill her? would you just say "oh well... thats the way it goes?" or "the law is the law and sometimes you win some and sometimes you lose some"? I doubt it. I mean come on... the guy said "kill my wife please" and the family is fighting that and everyone acts like its a discussion about towing away an old car that is overturned in the middle of the street.
from what i have seen there is basically a family fighting for the life of their family member and one guy fighting to kill her. the courts have heard the arguments, but i dont think people should be surprised that it is a sensitive issue and to characterize it as nothing more than political grandstanding seems a little off given the support of congress to keep her alive. it would be interesting to see how they voted on this... but from what i have seen, it seems that support for keeping her alive was overwhelming. when Ted Kennedy and George Bush can unwaiveringly agree on something, one might even start to believe in devine intervention.
