What's the rush, they say

Hell, she's been in a pvs for 15 years! They want to keep it going till she dies of 'natural causes'.

1. And she is still relatively young!

Imagine being in that state for 50 years or so! That is potentially how many years she could conceivably live to die of age related infirmities! These people ought to apply as torture experts at Abu Girab!

6. She's actually eligable now

as a disabled person, provided she meets other criteria. Wish I could state for sure what those other tests are but I cannot.

7. So I guess we know the REAL reason the bush duo won't interfere

now! Can you imagine the cost of maintaining this woman in this state.

BTW, cost is NOT a consideration for me, if the person can live a reasonably happy and conscious life regardless of that persons ability to be a so-called "productive member of society". It might be a blessing to live a life without the ability to reason through the current state of this nation right now!

2. No rush from her point of view, certainly

since she doesn't have one anymore.

All this fuss for an empty shell of a body. How many taxpayers millions have been spent on giving the Shindler's their day in court so far?
