this terry schiavo business

i've been reading a lot and hearing a lot about it -- how can you not? --and i just have two words for you: ADVANCE DIRECTIVE. get one. i know it's hard to imagine that you could be involved in this kind of mess, but it's best to be prepared.

one more thing: on the whole religious tip, i just don't see how terry schiavo's soul could be in jeopardy here. i am NOT religious AT ALL, but i don't understand the family's argument that letting her die will damn her soul? what kind of a god is this??
