DCF Enters Schiavo Case

In what can only be termed as "brilliant", Jeb Bush has at least temporaily stymied the Florida courts from putting Terri Schiavo to death.

The Department of Children and Families investigated a way to intervene in the
case on Wednesday just hours after Bush told reporters in a news conference that
he would do everything legally possible to help Terri's parents prevent her
estranged husband from starving her to death.

The DCF is part of the executive branch of government in Florida, and Jeb Bush is the Chief executive. It will take time for the DCF to investigate possible abuse and any connection it may have to Terri's present condition.

This is a gut wrenching case that is not easily understood. My personal opinion, when in doubt, opt for life. There is an abundance of "doubt" in this situation. She is not brain dead, she reacts to stimuli, albeit intermittently, and she has a loving family to take care of her. Let's just pray that whichever way this thing goes, it's what Terri would have wanted.
