I don't really know much about the US system of government I guess, but isn't Congress a law making body? And wasn't this a law? Regarding one of the things Kevin said in the initial post, I think the saving of the life of this individual is much less appropriate than 'setting a precedent' for future similar circumstances.
On the other hand...

To torture my being - This torture inhibits my life
The world is a graveyard of fools left to cope
With the torment and regret of man now deceased
Ghouls are released to destroy the race
Which we call human beings
Existence is torn from my soul
Perdition is what is believed to be seen
Suffering from the inside
Nefarious is the way
You choose to be - Left with no will to live
My intestinal wall begins to cave in
Trapped as they say
I begin to rot here as I lay
Time to take a look
At what has begun to pass before me
Die a slow death
It now begins to take it's toll
