1. Texas has real death panels, Futile Care Law

It was written with the help of the right to life groups in Texas. Hospital ethics panels can decide when to pull the plug. The same time Terri Schiavo died, the doctors pulled the plug on a baby in Texas and there wasn't a peep about it. Blows my mind how the right gets away with this shit.
