1) Why is Sen. Bill Frist, an M.D., maintaining "we should investigate every avenue before we take the life of a living human being"? He knows damn well she's not alive except in purely biological terms.

2) Why is George Bush ready to go back to Washington at a moment's notice apparently because "a woman's life is at stake"? One death is a tragedy, 1000 deaths is a statistic, I guess.

3) Why does anyone think that Schiavo's life, even in its best-case scenario, is any better than being held immobile in solitary confinement?

4) Failing congressional action, maybe they can get a constitutional amendment passed this week. How many states do we need? 38?
