[Title] => Living wills and health care proxies
[Summary] => Would it have made a difference if Terri Schiavo had had a living will? Maybe not. If family members are litigious, no legal document is going to keep them from going to court. And when her case became a political and television spectacle, it spun into that separate, twitchy, media-charged reality that bears little semblance to ordinary human affairs.

[Title] => A fortuitous coincidence
[Summary] => PARIS – Maybe it’s fortuitous but the French officials we met here (Paris) did not seem as bothered about the situation in the Philippines as we thought they would. They had their own problems to worry about because of the results of a referendum in which the French public voted down the European Constitution. It had seemed for a long time that France together with Germany, was the bedrock on which the EU was built. Just why should the French vote against the new Constitution? The French officials we talked to did not seem to have the answers, either.

[Title] => Facing death
[Summary] => 
It seems like an opportune time to talk about death. With the Pope passing and Terri Schiavo finally resting in peace, it’s almost fitting. The past few weeks have been more about death than anything else. This is probably one of those rare times that the world is united by something greater than treaties and conferences. The world stands united in mourning.

[Title] => Pulling the feeding tube
[Summary] => One lesson from the tragedy of Terri Schiavo: give your loved ones clear instructions early on about what to do in case you have the misfortune of lapsing into a "persistent vegetative state."
It’s macabre, but it could save your loved ones a lot of grief. We all have to go one day, some unexpectedly much sooner than others. Seeing what has happened to Schiavo and her family, I now consider such instructions as important as getting funeral and cremation insurance (which I already have).

[Title] => Terri breathes her last
[Summary] => Hours before word was relayed to the world by electronic means that Terri Schiavo had passed away, I received this email from my best friend in Singapore, Flory Maslog. It says: I agree with your column on the Schiavo case. A few years ago, my sister-in-law and I knelt down and prayed at a hospital chapel where my brother was dying of liver cancer and many other complications. He would look at me and beg me to let him go. He was in so much pain. Our doctor would ask us if, when the time came, would we be willing to insert a support tube on my brother?

[Title] => Right to live with dignity
[Summary] => The Terri Schiavo case has brought us once again to the delicate question of who decides one’s right to live.
Terri is a 41-year-old woman living in a Florida hospice for 15 years – in a vegetative stage, with no upper brain function. Her husband made the request to end her misery by having her feeding tube removed. It was what she wanted, he said.

[Title] => The right to die
[Summary] => Terri Schiavo’s case which has sparked a national debate in the US stands out because of its implications and ramifications on who should decide who lives and who dies. The question is not new, nor will answers ever be definitive. Indeed, answers raise even more questions beyond Terri Schiavo. It is uncanny that the issue of the right to die (which is the other side of the coin of the right to live) should be happening in the US as it is criticized for its preemptive war in Iraq.

[Title] => How to shame crooks lording it over society?
[Summary] => WALANG-HIYA TALAGA!: A "shame campaign" is being suggested by the Hong Kong expert advising the government on how to fight corruption.
Maybe Tony Kwok, the expert credited for reducing corruption in the former British colony kept alive by a consuming love of money, still has to learn more about the psychology of the Filipino as a Crook.
For how do we shame the crooks in and out of government who are "talaga namang napakawalang-hiya"? ("truly shameless" is not enough to capture the full meaning of the deprecatory phrase.)
