Pragmatism Prevails Over Schiavo Case

From Wikipedia:

"Pragmatism is a school of philosophy which originated in the United States in the late 1800s. Pragmatism is characterized by the insistence on consequences, utility and practicality as vital components of truth."

Terri Schiavo is in a "persistent vegetative state" say the judges and the doctors. Her life isn't worth saving, they say. The Federal Courts have upheld the State Courts and have refused to reinsert her feeding tube. The Federal Courts are now complicit with Michael Schiavo and the State Courts in the murder of Terri Schindler, depriving her of her right to life. Pragmatism wins the day and the judges have determined for us what is useful or practical, or how long a helpless individual should be allowed to live.

It's getting dark in the Fruited Plain.
