It is shocking and disturbing to me that so many people support ending Terri Schiavo’s life. We have no proof that, as her husband claims, she would want to die. Since we don’t have any proof, the default should be life. It seems, however, that many believe hers is a life not worth living. That argument has been made before, with disastrous results. Here’s my column on the issue.

To transhumanists and those who value somatic choice: think VERY carefully about this. It is important going forward.
