Is this the "death panel" Palin & ilk speak of?
In 1999, then-Gov. Bush signed the Advance Directives Act, which lets a patient's surrogate make life-ending decisions on his or her behalf. The measure also allows Texas hospitals to disconnect patients from life-sustaining systems if a physician, in consultation with a hospital bioethics committee, concludes that the patient's condition is hopeless.

1. Where were the Right To Life parties when it came to this?
Oh, that's right ... right beside Bush when he signed it ... cheering him on ... both the National and the Texas groups ...

2. Not only that, but in Texas, Bush sat people down in a chair and electrocuted them.
And that's called "Irony."
