Largest grassroots Orthodox Jewish group to Michael Schiavo: Spare your wife's life

This came out March 16 on jewishworldreview.com. Agudath Israel of America is in the fight for Terri Schiavo, and others like her:

...A spokesman for the national Orthodox Jewish organization appealed to Mr. Schiavo to "recognize that what a court may consider legal can still constitute a grave violation of a higher law," and asked him to "please allow your wife to continue to live."

"None of us can claim to know what constitutes a meaningful existence," Rabbi Avi Shafran, the organization's director of public affairs explained, "and all of us have a responsibility to preserve even severely compromised human life."
