Remember all the wailing and gnashing of teeth in Washington DC in mid-March, with a persistent vegetative state patient in Florida unaware of her surroundings getting her fifteen minutes of fame, being the most important person in America, being a poster girl for the constitution and trampling states' rights? Dr Frist, leader of the House, giving his diagnosis that all Terri Schiavo needed was two aspirin and a bit of a rest? Oh, I exaggerate with that one of course.
And the President rushing to DC from Crawford in the middle of the night to set up Terri's Law, which forced the Supreme Court to trample Florida's decision, and wanting to cultivate a culture of life?
Well, the autopsy is in, and it says her brain was shrivelled to half a normal person's brain size, and she was blind. No recovery from that type of thing - at least in the pathologist's point of view. And all the politicians gnashing the teeth back then are ducking for cover now.
Not enough time to do further comment on this one, but just wanted to do a quick heads up update kind of thing.
