What I don't like about this situation is how the media is handling it...they make each side look bad. The husband is just out for the insurance money or the parents are too afraid to let go. Also, when the media keeps saying that without the feeding tube she is "starving to death", the media fails to mention that the doctors are doing everything they can to hydrate her and medicate her so that she does not feel the same effects as someone who is stuck in the middle of the desert with no food and water for two weeks. The media needs to step away from this one and let the families deal with it. I believe without all the media attention, the courts would not be as involved or neither would the President.
