Difficult decisions

The news has come out over the past few days that Tom DeLay and Bob Schindler both made the difficult decision to take a parent off of life support.

Both situations are not an exact mirror of the Schiavo case, so it's not fair to call it hypocrisy. However, both of them made the same decision, and I can imagine that both would have been very defensive if their decisions had been subjected to 24 hour media scrutiny biased against them.
