Terri Schiavo and "medical experts"

A great post by Ampersand today (at Alas, a Blog), dissecting the medical testimony in the Terri Schiavo right-to-die case and really getting at what it means to claim "expert consensus" (or a lack thereof). Basically, all of the doctors testifying for the parents' claims simply don't address the fundamental issues and arguments of their opponents. You can't claim to be winning an argument in which you're not actually participating.
