...starvation, Terri will most likely be treated for “pain or discomfort” and nausea which may arise as the result of the supposedly humane process of bringing about her death. (Remember that Schiavo is not terminally ill.) She may be given morphine for respiratory distress and may experience seizures. This protocol confirms what we have learned from famines and death camps: death by starvation is a horrible death...

The raison d'?tre of many of the countries' several hundred men's organizations is a conviction that the system crushes men after their marriages fall apart; that a two-punch combination of vindictive ex-partners and courts that favor mothers in custodial disputes is destroying fathers' relationships with their children. DiD meetings begin with a minute's silence for the five men who commit suicide in Australia each day, on the assumption that many of them have acted...
