Italian Right-to-Die case: Eluana is finally dead

Yes, it's finally happened after all this time: Eluana Englaro, the vegetative state woman I've been harping on about for the last few days, has finally passed away peacefully, despite the pretentious bill to force her to be kept alive. The linked article doesn't seem to mention how or why she died – as a result of her extensive brain damage, likely, though why it suddenly happened after 17 relatively stable years, and right after I've started blogging about it, is intriguing – but needless to say this should come as a large relief to her father, who fought endlessly for her rights to have her ruined life ended, and to Right-do-Die proponents everywhere.

... It's an odd feeling that I feel relatively happy and relieved to hear someone died ... Eh. At least that stupid debacle is over, although seeing as the bill is still in effect, it could likely prevent any more Right-to-Die cases from succeeding. I have a feeling I'm not done blogging about this ...
