It's his new wife and kids AND the fact that he is still the guardian of his brain dead wife that some people are uncomfortable with and I have heard and respected the views of those who have noted this arrangement as one of many good points in this case

Diane --
You're in NYC aren't you? Not many cultural conservatives up there -- especially of the wing-nut variety. I think there are some themes to this debate that you've missed hearing.
Note, for example, that the pleading filed earlier this week by the Schindler family in the M.D. Fla stated Schiavo "abandoned his marriage" in 1995 -- with the subtext that this made him unfit to continue to be her guardian. The statement is true to some extent, but the language used and the way it was use surely expressed disapproval.
