Did 'revoked' living willkill communicative man?

Family members are investigating what they consider to be suspicious circumstances surrounding the death of a nursing home patient at the center of a life and death tug-of-war reminiscent of the Terri Schiavo tragedy.

Seventy-nine-year-old Jimmy Chambers died in the early morning hours of Oct. 24 after the tracheotomy tubes that deliver oxygen from a ventilator to a hole in his neck became unhooked. Family members were told Chambers, a resident of the Anne Maria Rehabilitation and Nursing Center in North Augusta, S.C., apparently pulled the interlocking tubes apart.

"We're having it investigated. We're just incredulous," Chambers' daughter, Deanna Potter, told WND in reference to her siblings. "The last time I saw dad he was blowing me a kiss. I blew him one and he blew one back."

The retired dispatcher for Holland Motor Express died approximately 10 hours later. His death certificate indicates he died of "natural causes."

"Apparently, suffocation is a 'natural cause' when you're on a ventilator. We're contesting that," said Potter. "He suffocated. He didn't just pass away. He struggled and fought. And I'm just so angry."

Potter estimates it would have taken 10 to 14 minutes for her father, deprived of oxygen, to fall unconscious, and questions why the nursing home staff didn't come to his aid.

"The oxygen-saturation meter and his ventilator both would have had alarms going off. Four-thirty, five o'clock in the morning you'd think someone would hear this," she added. "That's the thing that really bothers me and makes me suspicious."

Conservatives should have supported all of Arnold's initiatives, but maybe conservatives should have never supported Arnold in the first place. I am sure he will disappoint conservatives immensely in the coming year.

I voted for his initiatives, but I don't trust him. Especially on the illegal immigrant problem. I wanted to vote for Mc Clintock.

I didn't get a chance to read the thread : (

I hope you're not betting money on Gibson reading your email, lol! He's just another tool...

Shindy's family publicly denounced her

Yes I heard that. Still she must be an embarrassment. Her dear mom, her grandson gets kill for one cause and her daughter is making a fool of herself rallying against her grandson's beliefs. She's acting like a rebellious teenager caught up with the wrong crowd.

[Centurion2000]

Ten other family members – including four of his five children – and his initial treating physician signed sworn statements that Chambers himself indicated he wanted to stay on the ventilator, receive rehabilitative therapy and live. They say he communicated this by nodding his head "yes" and "no" to questions put to him during a Sept. 8 family meeting witnessed by 13 people in his hospital room.

I'd say that they have a resident that committed murder then.

This is one of the most informative sites re: Pinellas County's corrupt judicial system.

Have a nice weekend.

She ought to be ashamed of herself. Think about it...

What if her son was killed in a standoff, because he was robbing a bank, liquor store? Whose side would she be on?

I think she has a real mental disorder, catcalls aside.

The Sarce alerted us to this wagglebee thread on the biodeathacist:

WorldNetDaily has an article, too, on Singer:

Defender of infanticide sees Terri Schiavo battle as key to changing ethic

During the next 35 years, the traditional view of the sanctity of human life will collapse under pressure from scientific, technological, and demographic developments, says controversial bio-ethics professor Peter Singer.

Happy Birthday, Terri.

Cheryl Ford sends her wishes on this day, birthday of Terri.

December 3, 1963 ~ March 31, 2005

 

Last year at this time in St.Petersburg Florida, friends gathered together in celebration of Terri's 41st birthday.  We had talked about how we had hoped for Terri to be free from her estranged spouse Michael Schiavo, and how much Terri would have enjoyed attending her birthday party this year.  Sadly, that will not happen. Michael Schiavo succeeded in his desires to take Terri's life from her.  

 

In memory of Terri on her 42nd birthday, please light a candle at her Memorial Website and pass this message along to her friends who may wish to do the same.

Thank you,

Cheryl Ford RN

Prayers for Terri on this day. Hugs for her parents.

"She [Terri] looked beautiful," George Felos said, emerging from a visit to her room. He claimed that Terri was 'resting comfortably.' "In all the years I've seen Mrs. Schiavo, I have never seen such a look of peace and beauty upon her."

Peter Singer: "The notion that human life is sacred just because it is human life is medieval."

Singer is the author of "Animal Liberation" in which he argues against speciesism: the discrimination against certain beings based only on their belonging to a non-human species. He holds the interests of all beings capable of suffering to be worthy of equal consideration, and concludes that the use of animals for food is unjustifiable because it creates unnecessary suffering

Praying for Terri today, and every day.

I will never understand how anyone can think human life is not precious. God created us but these idiots think it is no big deal if we are destroyed. SICK!

[floriduh voter]

Except for Barney Frank saying that Terri supporters "want to ruin his life."

http://www.thecrimson.com/article.aspx?ref=510266

Why is Terri still on so many minds, even liberal minds? They are as disturbed about Terri as we have been but they should be okay with it because the liberals made sure Terri missed her 42nd birthday. Why do liberals keep mentioning Terri? Are they afraid that the anti-euthanasia movement is gaining ground because it surely is.

The death worshippers worship killing and money inseparably.

An excellent post.

That picture of Felos with the serpent tongue is one of those images that I'd like to forget, but probably never will. I get the shivers everytime I'm reminded of it.
