Yet another weird SF fan


I'm a mathematician, a libertarian, and a science-fiction fan. Common sense? What's that?

Yet More on Terri Schindler Schiavo

I looked at the CAT scans of what's left of Terri's brain compared with a normal CAT scan. It looks like she still has some brain structure left. Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Imaging (I refuse to drop the Nuclear) would show how much of it occasionally functioned but, for some strange reason, it apparently wasn't done. I wonder if NRMI was done and it revealed more than the Enemy wanted.

On the other hand, this might merely be a matter of the Usual Gang of Idiots opposing all things nuclear. (The example of nuclear energy is one reason I'm skeptical of claims about embryonic stem-cell research. If it worked, the professional protestors would be against it.)

This is a very difficult case. Some people who are usually conservative, decide-things-at-state-level types think that Congress should get involved. Some liberals, who would usually welcome Federal-level involvement, favor letting Florida's legal process proceed. The husband, at times, has had allegations of misconduct thrown at him. The parents are legally blocked from maintaining their daughter's care.

Throwing terms like "enemy" around is not productive in this case. What will be productive is a discussion about what should be done to avoid this instance from occuring again, and at what level of government should any such power to act reside.
