Even a stopped clock is right twice a day
In USA today of all places, Eugene Low, I read the most insightful comment on the Schiavo tragety / debacle, "staff writer for The Straits Times, Singapore, in a column: "Medical technology, while useful, was ultimately insufficient to determine what (Schiavo's) life was worth. ... Depending solely on science to determine whether a person should be allowed to die only throws up more moral ambiguities. This calls for humility when it comes to making the choices that determine the life or death of another human. When doctors and judges decide when a patient is to be given the right to die, they are presuming that they have the moral wisdom to do so."
I thought this hit things right on head.
