Hi, pickrell, thanks for your post and excellent article. You are obviously not apathetic!
evidence -- don't you feel sorry for the ME? He's charged with finding on autopsy something that SHOULD have been determined in life via PET scan and by having her out and about, receiving ordinary care and therapy that michael denied her. Since when do we have to kill patients to evaluate them? or in this case, to justify killing them?
evidence -- I look at the ongoing abuse. The best evidence that something was amiss is that Terri's room was kept darkened, that she didn't have the comforts in her room all along that she had as media props at the very end (stuffed animal, flowers, pictures), that she was not allowed to get out in her wheelchair (though she'd enjoyed that in the past, acc. affidavits). And the OM just glossed right over it when the Schindlers mentioned that Terri had not had swallowing tests.
I need to express that better...for all michael's and felos' protestations that they want the world to know Terri's cognitive abilities, they denied the free flow of information and debate, the judge would not admit them as evidence or see for himself, and the OM ignored (as I saw happen myself here in Jax).
Oh, Lord, may what was hidden and **allowed to be hidden** for so many years please finally come to light.
Guess I'm too raw still . . . heaven help the freeper who has to disparage and mock those in Terri's fight rather than finding their own little niche of the culture war to fight.
>>>>> Terri had to be killed in order to justify killing her.
That's it in a nutshell, to hear michael and felos tell it. Clearly there's more, much more, to it than that, but that's what they are saying, isn't it.
