Terry Schiavo Family?

Terry Schiavo is dead, but the real disease continues.  Terry's plight has raised awareness about living wills, arguments about medical ethics, legal wrangling and exposed the real story in this sad ending.   Her families absolute hate for each other.  How else do you explain the level of recruitment that both sides used to manipulate and leverage sympathy for its position. Many families face the very same decisions but do it with dignity and compromise.  The family of Daniel Kissling had all the elements to create the same circus that these freaks have brought to the media.Heart-rending Choices  However, the father walked away from a protracted and probably public fight.  Even though his son's wishes are not being carried out because his mother still holds out hope.  Mr. Kissling is letting her have her hope with dignity.   I have the solution for the Schindlers and the Schiavos; that is they should play Russian Roulette and the winner gets Terry.  Just as disgusting an idea as that these people have created with their hateful, selfish beliefs.  But it would sure shut them up.
