Are Jeb Bush and the Republicans poised to make another “culture of life” mistake? When Jeb was Governor of Florida, one of his most revealing incident was his interference in the Terry Schiavo case. [Michael Kruse, Politico. Jan 29, 2015 ]. Jeb justified his attempts to reverse decisions by various courts to allow Ms. Schiavo’s husband to end extraordinary efforts to sustain her life as his devotion to the “culture of life.”
The backlash against Jeb and government interference in matters of personal choice, even in service of a culture of life, has been highlighted by a growing sense that the end of life may be a personal or family choice. [See Being Mortal by Atul Gawande] |
