Remember the story about the kid who Blue Cross was denying care for?

The freepers are now comparing him to Terri Schiavo. Saying it is hypocritical for us liberals to say it is wrong for Blue Cross to refuse him care while we wanted Terri Schiavo to die.

So medical experts, is this kid brain damaged in the same way Terri Schiavo was?

1. Whether or not he is, the point is it is his choice to live or die (his family's),
not the gov't, and not a corporation.

5. We agreed on that point.
Then the freepers started saying they should just let the kid die. And they started in on comparing him to Terri Schiavo.

2. It's a matter for the family, not some insurance adjuster.

9. Hannity, Santorum and other Sickos didn't profit
From this poor kid's death.

There was no media circus, no wailing idiots, and no phony Nobel quacks.

There is no comparison.
