Just to balance the picture a little (I'm having a really hard time deciding what my own opinion is), let me point out that if Mrs. Schiavo's feeding tube is removed as her husband wishes, she will die of starvation and dehydration. Her suffering would end eventually, but first it would be much greater than anything she now endures. I'm sure the husband would prefer that she be "put to sleep" quickly and painlessly, but ironically, that's not legal.
