excerpt:

LOS ANGELES - House Majority Leader Tom DeLay, who has helped lead a congressional effort to keep Terri Schiavo alive, joined members of his own family nearly 17 years ago in allowing doctors not to take extraordinary measures to extend his father’s life, a newspaper reported Sunday.

DeLay had just been re-elected to his third term in Congress in 1988 when his father, Charles DeLay, was severely injured in an accident. As the elder DeLay’s vital organs began failing, the family chose not to connect him to a dialysis machine or take other measures to prolong his life, the Los Angeles Times reported Sunday, citing court documents, medical records and interviews with family members.

1. Yes, and the accident was on a tram his father built. DeLay sued

the Mfg of the bearings his father used, and WON THE SUIT! It was $250,000.

Now, of course, after HE took advantage of the right to sue, and the Tx law that gives the right to the next of kin to decide the fate of a permanently injured person, he's all AGAINST IT!!
