More on Schiavo

A fascinating discussion of the Schiavo case, with links to more, on Obsidian Wings:

As I noted earlier, in this case Michael Schiavo is his wife's guardian, and might have decided what she would have wanted. However, he chose instead to ask the court to consider the evidence about what she would have wanted, and to make its own evaluation. It found that she would not have wanted to be kept alive. That is: this is not a case in which anyone is proceeding in the absence of evidence about what she would have wanted, nor is it a case in which Michael Schiavo is acting only on his sense of what his wife would have wanted, without allowing a hearing for anyone else's view.

Assuming this is true, this totally changes my opinion of Michael Schiavo. However, it only amplifies my feeling that Congress has done wrong in the name of doing good, and that ideology has trumped common sense and is now trying to stack the deck.
