"In cases like this one, where there are serious questions
and substantial doubts, our society, our laws, and our
courts should have a presumption in favor of life."
--President George W. Bush ++ "Supporters of Michael
Schiavo's effort to end his wife's life have asked how
conservatives, who claim to believe in the sanctity of
marriage, can fail to respect his husbandly authority.
The most obvious answer is that a man's authority as a
husband does not supersede his wife's rights as a human
being -- a principle we never thought we'd see liberals
question." --James Taranto ++ "The question is not
whether the suffering and dying person's life should
be terminated, the question is what kind of nation
will we become if they are? Their physical death is
preceded only by our moral death!" --William Federer
++ "It is too...easy to be cavalier and heroic about
'dying with dignity' when somebody else is doing the
dying." --Lawrence Henry
