Terri Schiavo - let it be.

I hope that the autopsy report from Pinella's county coroner will put an end to this sad drama around Terri Schiavo's life. In case you haven't heard the autopsy states that her brain had atrophied considerably and weighed around 615g which is about half the weight of an adult human's brain. The coroner and other independent experts state in no uncertain terms that brain could have never recovered after degenerating by 50 percent.

Amidst all these sobering scientific reports, Terri's parents' attorney maintained that he still thought that she would have recovered had her feeding tube not been removed. Someone please educate me: Is neuro-pathology and cognitive science part of the legal curriculum in the US? The last time I checked, I didn't think it was.
