Dr. Frist and Senator Hyde

Before Dr. Frist flip-flopped into Senator Hyde, he actually advocated pulling the plug on babies who are in the same medical state as Terri Schiavo.

DC Inside Scoop has the story. Here's a teaser:

"Frist wrote a book in 1989 called Transplant where he advocated changing the definition of "brain dead" to include anencephalic babies. Anencephalic babies are in the same state as Terri Schiavo except that she suffered a physical trauma that put her into a vegetative state while the anencephalic babies are born that way." There's more . . .

Also, it turns out that Dr. Frist has a long record of pulling the plug. And, this time, we are not talking about cats!
