Please God let it be true.
Please keep us updated....thank you!
Won't the surgery section be closed at 5 p.m. on Fridays, when the tube will be removed?
Mass murders on death row have gotten more breaks than her.
I was just thinking: if so many FL doctors were not as corrupt as their lawyers, then there would be no one willing to remove the tube.
Details??????
Ping
Bump and ping
Can someone help us control our hatred for George W. "Haman" Greer, who may yet get the JFK "Profile in Courage" award?
As long as her family pays to keep feeding her why would anyone object to keeping her alive?
What is with all these stays?? Why can't a decision be made as to who has the authority to make a decision. What does the law say?

Judge Extends Emergency Stay In Schiavo Case

CLEARWATER, Fla. -- A judge in Florida has extended for another 48 hours the emergency stay that keeps a feeding tube attached to a brain-damaged woman.
The order was supposed to expire at 5 p.m. Thursday. But parents of Terri Schiavo asked that it be extended while their court fight to keep her alive continues.
The emergency stay that will keep Schiavo's feeding tube in place until 5 p.m. EST Friday.

If she were on death row she would have more rights and a better chance at life. This is screwed up.

What if either party is wrong?
A commenter called MikeC, writing in response to a post on, of all places, the humor blog IMAO, proposes a common-sense approach to the ethics of Terri Schiavo's situation. The concept is brilliant, although his explanation isn't as clear as I'd like, so I'm going to paraphrase it:
Look at the two parties in this case -- Terri's husband and Terri's parents -- and the result each party is seeking. Then ask, for each party, what are the consequences of getting it wrong, if the judge grants their request.
What if Michael Schiavo succeeds in removing the feeding tube, but is wrong in his claim that Terri is a vegetable? A thinking, feeling woman will die a slow and painful death from starvation and dehydration.
What if the Schindlers succeed in taking over Terri's care, but are wrong in thinking that there is hope for rehabilitation? As MikeC put it, "they get to pay a bunch of medical bills and live with false hope." Terri, if she truly is PVS, isn't going to know or care.
If the judge decides for the husband and he's wrong, the consequences are cruel and irreversable. Terri will pay the ultimate price for her husband's error. If the judge decides for the Schindlers and they're wrong, the Schindlers will toil in vain, but they alone will bear the consequences.
