We're looking to go to Nantucket next year for our 10th ann'y, as that's where we honeymooned, so I've been looking for someplace a little more upscale than where we stayed before, but still reasonably priced.
Anyone else here worn out from the Schiavo debate?
Yes. I feel very strongly that she should be turned over to her parents for care, but I have no confidence that will happen. I went on a couple of the threads...the heat was so intense I had to boogey out before I got burned.
I can tell you about a wonderful, quaint place in Woods Hole. You can catch the ferry to Nantucket from there.
RE:Schiavo -- I was until last night. I really think there's a strong case that the husband has wanted her dead. Some of the nurses that have come forward - I just heard one on CNN a few minutes ago, convinces me that her husband should NOT have the authority to make this decision. I, too, want the parents to have her. Then she would get some therapy which could help her have a much more functional life.
I watched an interview last night with a woman who had had a stroke and the doctors wanted to pull the plug and she said she was awake and could hear people talking but she had no way of shoing she was cognizant of the goings on. The doctors told her husband she was never coming out of the PVS and there was no hope. He persisted, and she did come out of it.
We really know very little about levels of consciousness. There are many cases of people who are allegedly under anesthesia who can feel pain and can tell you what was talked about in the OR during their procedure.
Her best friend has said that Terri was planning on leaving her husband - they'd talked about getting an apt together. The guy had the classic symptoms of an abuser - excessively controlling, etc. There's more to this case, and it sickens me.
