Letter to the Editor

Mark Perkel writes->

There are those who question if Congress and President Bush inserted themselves into the death of Terri Schiavo as a mere political stunt. This case, however, hits pretty close to home with a lot of members' personal lives when it comes to withholding food from the brain dead. That's an issue they relate to personally and something they worry about. If a judge can withhold food and water for Terri Schiavo because she's brain dead - a judge could close the cafeterias in the Congress and the Whitehouse as well for the same reason. Something to think about!
