And to be serious for a moment:

R.I.P. Terri Schaivo. I hope there was no pain or agony. It seemed like an awful long time...If one good thing comes from this whole mess, it's that lots of people have begun thinking about end-of-life issues, and lots of people have gone out to get Living Wills or Medical Powers of Attorney.

(and, if you will permit me to be a bit flip: thank God, now the news people can move on to the next grieving family or big dispute. Michael Jackson trial, anyone?)
