Why do they gotta call Schiavo a vegetable anyway? Why not, like, a fruit? Or a rock? Or, like, um, a loveseat? Armchair?

I wonder why the lack of sentience in humans is associated with vegetables instead of the billion other nonsentient things on the planet.

If Schiavo is a vegetable, can she be safely eaten by a vegetarian?
