13. This is why they are known as wedge issues.
They are meant to divide and separate. I have been rather amazed at the lack of biological knowledge by some DU'ers who seem to be very educated otherwise. I mean, I thought high school biology would allow enough of a scientific background to understand the issue.

I don't expect young people to understand as much about disease and dying as an older person like myself would because we have personally experienced much of this ourselves. However, could you give us some credit for knowing what does really happen within our personal experience?

I think the worst thing though is the propaganda and political aspect where certain words are used to frame the issue that aren't anywhere near being true, nor factual in describing her condition. Worse than that are the outright lies. I am stunned.

Now the nuts are running around. I just heard on my local news that some nutjob has put a bounty on Michael Schiavo's head meaning that they are going to try to get him murdered. Where are his rights in being kept alive?
