Let's try again

Has anyone else been following this story? If I remember correctly, the supreme court of Florida approved the removal of the feeding tube, but Governor Bush intervened. I think that since then, two separate federal judges have ruled that the tube can be removed. Now it's being taken before the house of representatives.
Does anyone else think that they've gone too far? Does a federal system even have a say in how this should be handled?

I can understand the decision to let her die, death is not in itself an evil, but I cannot understand how they could let her starve to death. Why not just shoot her? Even a swift OD would be better, it makes me ill to suppose that a family has to starve a loved one to death rather then swiftly putting them away, I wouldn't do that to a dog let alone a person!
