Another day, another story: the US Supreme Court has once again refused to order doctors in Florida to resume the feeding of Terri Schiavo. It was the sixth time since 2000 that the Supreme Court declined to intervene in this case. Hours earlier, a federal appeals court in Atlanta rejected a request for the parents’ petition to be reheard. Courts at all levels have sided with Mrs Schiavo’s husband – her legal guardian.

Now let’s hope it ends soon!
