Popular Posts On The Terri Schiavo Saga
Those familiar with Abstract Appeal know that the Terri Schiavo saga caught my attention not long after I started the Abstract Appeal web log, and over the last two years I have published many posts relating to the case and its legal issues. I created the
Terri Schiavo Information Page to help give folks an overview of the case and links to case's significant legal documents. I also created three additional pages in which I collected all of my Schiavo-related posts by year -- there is a separate page for
2003,
2004, and
2005.
One thing missing from this work was any sort of index to some of the better, more informative posts that covered issues people continue to talk about. Well, here's that list. I've labeled it the "Popular Posts" list and put it together based on feedback I've received from readers.
Those who desire to learn as much as possible about the case are invited to peruse the annual collections of Schiavo-related posts and, of course, the InfoPage.
