"This blog is a journal of the opinions, musings, and observations of a small group of Catholic Terps and alumni. The opinions expressed herein should not be construed as the opinions of the Catholic Student Center, Father Bill Byrne, the Archdiocese of Washington, Cardinal McCarrick, the Vatican, the Pope, the Church, or God (this should be evident, but assuming that everyone possesses common sense involves the logical error of descending from the general to the specific). Nor are they necessarily the opinions of the University of Maryland (although in our opinion they should be). All teachings of the Catholic Church expressed on this blog are true and should be believed by everyone (obviously, so are the ones we don't get around to mentioning). A link to a site does not constitute an unqualified endorsement of everything the author has written, or even everything on the site - it only means that one of us saw something interesting and thought it was worth mentioning. If you disagree with us on something, or agree with us, or have something else interesting to say that is germane to the topic, you are encouraged to use the comment box below the post to say what's on your mind. We trust that all of our readers will be polite and courteous, however, we reserve the right to delete abusive or uncivil comments as we see fit. Email us if you like, we might even respond. This weblog follows the "Welborn Protocol" - all correspondence sent to our blog emails is blogable unless you request otherwise. Please pray for us and all the Catholic Terps. We place this blog and its authors under the patronage of Our Lady Seat of Wisdom, St. Thomas Aquinas patron saint of students, St. Albertus Magnus, and St. Peter."

Not to be too alarmist...

but if Michael Schiavo wins this one, will we all need to go file formal legal documents saying that we do not wish to be killed if we are incapacitated?  Or would a forehead tattoo saying "please don't kill me" be admissible in court?

In India, dishonest relatives can bribe officials into legally certifying people to be dead so that they can seize their belongings.  In America, it seems, we will not even have to bother with that; if they are injured, just tell the doctor they want it.  What an improvement in society this will be after the massive increase in litigiousness and the placing of being killed on an even footing with being kept alive by food and water.
