Wow, that's classic Satan for you:
"Be like God. Have power over life and death."
Poe's = Pope's
Good question.
Father Pavone ,Thank you for standing up for life.

I've been told the same thing that you both say. . Felos is one scary dude.
I ditto that. I'm not a Catholic, but God bless Father Pavone and the priests he leads, and the Catholic Church for its unswerving defense of life and decency. If we end up ultimately losing this war, I want to go down standing shoulder-to-shoulder with all of you.
That, and a necrophile.
Thanks Kenny Bunkport.Father must have hit a home run for Felos to talk about him at the press conference.
Even more, when you consider that battered and bruised Terri was saying to her friends that she wanted a divorce from that one person.
Careful, reason has not tolerated here in the last few days.
oh, thanks, that site has lots of info on it. actually my husband works in the field of mental retardation and developmental disabilities. he is quite concerned about the implications of this case, as we all should be. thanks again.

thanks. this is horrifying....like a c.s. lewis sci fi story.
Like I said, "Appoint someone you trust to make the decisions for you."
As several doctors said, a few up-to-date exams of Terri's brain, (when she was still alive) would have settled a lot of questions.
The key to "outing" scientologists is to start talking about psychology and psychologists. They'll go out of their minds.
An autopsy would not likely help resolve the debate over whether Terri's condition is a persistent vegetative state or if, as some neurologists and doctors suggest, she is minimally conscious and able to interact on a limited basis."Persistent vegetative state or minimally conscious state is a clinical diagnosis," Michael De Georgia, head of the neurology/neurosurgery intensive care unit at the Cleveland Clinic Foundation, says. "It cannot be confirmed by autopsy."
George Felos, the euthanasia advocate who is Michael's lead attorney, told reporters that Michael switched his position on the autopsy in part to be able to prove his contention that Terri is PVS.
Yet, according to a Medpage report, Harvard neuropathologist E. Tessa Hedley Whyte said the brain "can't tell if there is a persistent vegetative state or not."
"The autopsy will show damage -- probably mostly scarring now -- and that damage will most likely correspond to some extent to what was seen on images," Whyte said.
Though the autopsy will confirm that Terri is severely mentally disabled as a result of her collapse and the deprivation of oxygen to her brain, Dr. De Georgia warns of reading too much into it and concluding that it shows Terri was a PVS patient.
"[T]here is no standard cutoff that says if you lose this many brain cells you are in a persistent vegetative state," he told Medpage.
Michael Williams, an associate medical professor at Johns Hopkins in Baltimore, adds that "pathology alone cannot prove or disprove a diagnosis of persistent vegetative state."
What the autopsy could do, however, is help determine whether Michael abused Terri, leading to her collapse.[excerpt]
Michael "changed his mind" because Terri is required to undergo an autopsy. I have heard two things: one that it is required for anyone dying in a hospice and another that it is required for cremation. This is quite transparent.
Yes! I have mentioned it in numerous posts on FR. It reminds me of a Serpent.
