A Way to Save Terri Schiavo
wotan | Feb 18, 2005 | wotan

Posted on 02/18/2005 6:25:20 AM PST by wotan

Here's a way Jeb Bush may be able to save Terry Schiavo: Open an investigation into the possible assault that led to her comatose condition. Have the state pay for her maintenance to "preserve the evidence" and pay for language therapy for her so she can tell us what she knows about how she got into the coma. It struck me that the reason her husband wants her dead might be because he's afraid of what she'll say if she recovers. I don't see how a judge could possibly deny the state the right to preserve evidence of a serious assault.

Hope she's not dead yet.

Why don't YOU volunteer?

Go down and give Terri a visit.

Look her in the eyes and tell her you are going to starve her to death and when she starts to moan like an animal and struggles to get out of her chair- tell her this is what she wants, tell her you are being compassionate....

Tell her the only therapy she deserves is to go through this:

According to Dr. William Burke:

Terri will feel it. She will go into seizures. Her skin will crack, her tongue will crack, her lips will crack. She will have nosebleeds because of the drying of the mucus membranes, and heaving and vomiting might ensue because of the drying out of the stomach lining. She will feel the pangs of hunger and thirst. Imagine going one day without a glass of water! Death by dehydration takes ten to fourteen days. It is an extremely agonizing death.

You know very little about some of us. We ARE dedicated to Terri and her family. I HAVE opened my pocketbook, and I have made offers to the Schindlers to help them. Unfortunately, Michael is the one preventing me and many others to give Terri the care that she so richly deserves.

You are right, he has no idea who you or any of us are....

I have spent, just in the last three days, almost 20 hours/ day on trying to help Terri, I won't list any more than that because this isn't about me-- it is about Terri.

Bottom line is that she doesn't want to die-- she wants to live, and eeevil people just don't care......

It is soooooo infuriating..... I feel so helpless.... I wish there was more I could do.......

You're in trouble now...the LIFE AT ANY COST people here will set out to destroy you. Of course, you are right. But that won't stop the "compassionate" folks here on FR.

Merry 10 won't be allowed to go visit Terri unless Michael approves. If you do get to go, Merry, would you please report back to us your findings? TIA

Ask Terri's parents how many times a week they visit her? Wait, let me save you some time... times a year. If they are truthful, they say about a handful. That can be backed up by the login book at Terri's Hospice.

Thanks for the tip-off, snapper! BTW, Freepers have been in touch with the Schindlers (today) and they say that between Bob, Mary, Bobby, and Suzanne they see Terri about three times a week. When Bob and Mary visit with Terri on Saturdays, Msgr. Malanowski visits with them. This is an EVERY WEEK occurrence! Yes, they sign the log book each time they go. Michael is the only one who doesn't have to sign the log, because he's the one who calls the shots. So I'm wondering just who are you getting your shoddy information from?

Snapper, I want you to know that your LIES about the Schindlers WILL NOT be tolerated around here, because we can speak with the Schindlers directly (as can you if you so choose), and we can verify the information. I think you are just spouting off.

Thanks for your ping.

[1] Greer has already approved HINO's request to immediately cremate Terri upon her death. Again, this pertains to her religious beliefs, because the Catholic faith totally disapproves of cremation.

I'm sorry, but this is no longer the case. From the Catechism of the Catholic Church, Second Edition English Translation (includes the corrections promulgated by Pope John Paul II on 8 September 1997):

2301 Autopsies can be morally permitted for legal inquests or scientific research. The free gift of organs after death is legitimate and can be meritorious.

The Church permits cremation, provided that it does not demonstrate a denial of faith in the resurrection of the body.93

We spoke of this with our priest when my father died two years ago. The priest told us it was okay to cremate, but that scattering the ashes is forbidden. We were just curious as to what the teaching meant.

You seem to leave out the true accounts of people in your area who have information and experiences with various judges that are corrupt. One of those judges happens to be George Greer himself. But then again how would I expect you to know these people. All I can tell you that their stories were not made up and show corruption.

I will relay it to David but there are other issues regarding her Catholic faith that are being violated as well.

You must then think it's COMPASSIONATE to starve someone to death.

There ARE multiple violations! And I hope the creeps get tatooed on each one!

Yep, scattering the ashes is a no-no. Also, the body (not ashes) must be present for a funeral Mass.
