DeLay, on the other hand, seems to have been suggesting to political supporters in recent days that she should be kept alive without regard to what she would have wanted, a view inconsistent with how he and his family dealt with his father's situation. I question DeLay's motives. He is a political opportunist.
If everyone approached these questions as bilmore does, the conversation would be a very different one. Where bilmore goes most wrong, IMHO, is in suggesting that Tom DeLay and others are thinking about the case like he is.

If you truly believe, as you say you do, there is reasonable doubt whether Teri would have wanted her tube removed, then it is pretty sad that instead of exploring what that does or should mean in terms of the law (or humanity for that matter) you are on here griping about media treatment of Michael Schiavo and Tom Delay and what percent of him genuinely cares about Teri and what percent is "politically motivated." 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.
