WWJD?

I'm having a little trouble with the idea of Christians accepting Schiavo's death as OK. I've been looking at the pictures of the scene outside the hospice, and everybody official (police, security, media, hospice staff) is just going about their job.

How can these people just pretend that it's business as usual? How can they live with the consequences of their actions? Is it a case of moral blinders? Will they wake in the night, many years from now, as some of the women who aborted their children do, agonizing over the irreversibility of their decision?
