Keep Terri Alive

Amidst the pandemonium surrounding Terri Schiavo, there has been little talk of whom would be the true victims should she be allowed to die: the lawyers.

Within the framework of the case, her husband has lawyers, her parents have lawyers, the hospital has lawyers, the doctors have lawyers, right-wing organizations have lawyers, left-wing organizations have lawyers, politicians have lawyers; even the lawyers have lawyers.

All of whom are billing copious amounts of hours; hours which would be lost forever should she die.

Now that would be a real tragedy.
