Tom DeLay let comatose father die?

An interesting story at http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/7309887/.

Tom DeLay, who shepherded through the law allowing federal courts to intervene at the last moment and has called allowing Terri to die as per her wishes "barbaric", apparently agreed with the cutting off of medical treatment such as dialysis to his father in 1988. The elder DeLay was in an accident and was in an irreversible coma. Although he had no written living will, he had expressed wishes that he not be allowed to live like that. Sound familiar?

“There was no point to even really talking about it,” Maxine DeLay, the congressman’s 81-year-old mother, told the Times. “Tom knew, we all knew, his father wouldn’t have wanted to live that way.”

Wonder if Ivanhoe will want an investigation into this case, too.

We need to investigate whether DeLay is CoL or CoD!

Unlike some people on this site, I don't treat every news story as gospel truth. The story is being reported but Congressman DeLay has not commented on it, so I put a "?" after it because I don't know for sure if it's true. ...[text shortened]... el, Michael Schiavo would wind up with more money than Bill Gates.

I have more faith in a trial court and 5 appellate courts who see ALL the evidence than a bunch of ill- and mis-informed people on the internet trying to score political points. I'm funny like that.
