I'm really on the fence with respect to Terry Schiavo -- mainly because I don't know the medical details and suspect that few do (or care). To me, the question is 1) the degree to which her condition is pointless and hopeless, and 2) the incredible conflict of interest in the case on the part of her husband.
So, I'm not going to weigh in on the immediate issue, except tangentially. I propose that the Florida Legislature meet as soon as possible and consider the following law:
Any fund set aside as the result of a judgement by a Florida court for the maintenance and/or treatment of a person in a coma or vegitative state shall revert to the State upon the death of the benificiary.If they pass it while Terry is still alive, it will at least prevent Michael Schiavo from benefiting. If not, it will still prevent a future situation where a caregiver's motives are conflcited.
