Right to die
Article Abstract:
Terri Schiavo suffered a persistent vegetative state for 15 years until she died on March 31, 2005 after hospice staff removed her life-sustaining feeding tube. The US Supreme Court is preparing to hear the US president George W. Bush administration's attempt to effectively thwart an Oregon law legalizing physician-assisted suicide, a law twice approved by the state's voters but strongly opposed by right-to-life and disability-right group.

Understanding death?
Article Abstract:
Death remains beyond human ability to comprehend, much less control. Terri Schiavo's case has prompted useful debate about end-of-life issues and focus is made on amending state laws that allow healthcare providers to use their medical judgment to disregard the wishes of patients or their representatives.
