An Anchor to the Side of the Head
Anchor Rising has done it again with two related and powerful posts by different authors on the subject of Terri Schindler-Schiavo.
Justin Katz points out an anecdote about the reaction of a "well respected neurologist" who could not understand why Terri Schiavo had not been given an MRI or PET scan under the authority of her caregiver husband:
Pinellas County Circuit Judge George Greer, says Hawthorne, handed down a ruling which allows her husband Michael to remove "nutrition and hydration from the ward, Theresa Schiavo, at 1:00 p.m. on March 18, 2005." Hawthorne then points out that this is only one of the latest in a litany of ethically challenged actions by this judge.
For the full litany go here.

I stopped him and told him that these tests have never been done for her; that [husband and legal guardian] Michael had refused these tests.Next, Donald B. Hawthorne asks a question: Is Terri Schiavo being killed by an activist judge's judicial fiat?There was a moment of dead silence.
"How can he continue as guardian?", the neurologist said in a tone of utter incredulity. "He refused a non-invasive test? How can they be debating a life and death decision without these tests?" ...
He said, "I can't believe intelligent people are debating this woman's life without these tests."
