Bilmore, please concede that Delay is an asshole and that Michael Schiavo is not an evil man. This way, Ty can proceed to address the astonishing injustice happening now to a woman whose wishes were not proven as they were required to be under the law.

I don't think you mean to, but you are twisting my words. I was trying to suggest that some of the people on the other side are acting reasonably, but I have tried to avoid saying that there is evidence from which one could reasonably conclude that she would have wanted to continue to live in this state. Many of the people who want her to be kept alive are acting out of the best of motives -- that's all I mean.
When I have worked on cases that have appeared in the media, I have never found the media reports particularly edifying or accurate, so I mistrust much of what I read about this case as well -- from what I can tell,
with good reason. I have very little first-hand familiarity with the case. From what I know, I don't see a reason to believe that the Florida courts got it wrong.
