I think that is it in a nutshell. How did existing at all costs become such an issue with the extremely religious? Why would they not want her to go to heaven rather than remain in an infantile state for maybe 50 years? I hope my wife would fight as hard for my right to die as Michael Schiavo has for his wife. It sickens me to think she could be put in that situation.
