Light Conversation

Today is the one-year anniversary of the death of Terri Schiavo, and, as such, newspapers have trotted out one-year anniversary articles to determine what it really means to us.

Fair enough. An article in the Bucks County Courier Times views the debate as one over a person's right to die, and begins like this (emphasis mine):

Terri Schiavo is gone, but the name of the woman who became a symbol of the right-to-die movement is alive in hospital hallways, lawyers' offices and church pews a year after her controversial death.

That is a good thing, people on both sides of the debate say.

"It is dinnertime conversation," said Janet Poland, director of risk management at Lower Bucks Hospital in Bristol Township and co-chair of its ethics committee.

Note to self: Don't go to any charity dinners organized by Lower Bucks Hospital.
