Terri Schiavo, the State, and the Culture of Death by William L. Anderson
Thus, the Schiavo case, if nothing else, highlights nearly everything that is rotten in American governance. We see the rank hypocrisy by people on all sides, we see the imposition of the state and federal courts as the Ultimate Authority, and, in the end, and we stand around helplessly shouting at one another while a woman slips into death, it being illegal to give even the literal cup of cold water to her. The state mandates death, and no one does it better.
