Surreal.

Interesting story in the Washington Post (reg. req.):

Michele Finn and her husband’s brother, Edward, were on opposite sides of the decision to remove Finn’s feeding tube, but they both thought that his death might bring about some change.

“When this happened to me,” Michele Finn said, “I thought and hoped that it would send a message to government to stay out of these decisions, these very heart-wrenching decisions. It is very disappointing to me that this has gotten up to Congress the way it did over the weekend.”

Hugh Finn’s brother, Edward, who disagreed with his sister-in-law’s decision to withdraw the feeding tube, said his family lives with the circumstances of his brother’s death every day.

“The Schiavo case and my brother’s case are identical,” he said. He said he thought the issues raised by his brother’s death might have resulted in new laws proposed by politicians who opposed Finn’s feeding tube being removed.

Pro-life blogger Kevin McCullough writes: “How is it that this doctor [William Hammesfahr] with these credentials is being ignored by the judges, and the media regarding the facts of the case of Terri Schiavo’s actual medical condition?”
