This is news/activism. Terri Schindler Schiavo is still in the headlines. The death lobby shouldn't kid themselves. We are not going to forget...
LIVE THREAD of Terri Schiavo Autopsy Press Conference. It begins at 11:00 pm est from Clearwater, Florida at the Medical Examiner's Office right down the road from where Terri was starved & dehydrated to death.
The ME will have to address that hmmmmmmmm?
John Throgmartin, ME, here he goes. Dr. Steven Nelson joins him. HERE WE GO.
The family? But......but........but......I thought I had read it was Michael who tried to use the needles on her!
It's worse than that, Hildy. Their "side" would do away with all living wills.
Do you think it is OK to dehydrate/starve animals or just disabled persons - or don't you think Terri was a person? Do you think it is cruel to dehydrate/starve disabled human beings to death?
So, you think Euthanasia is ok than? Sad to know we have sick people like you in our world! Breaks my heart!
I agree with many of your statements, but please realize, the people you think are being mistreated because they're treated with contempt are the ones who call people like me, who is on the record as being against pulling the feeding tube and for guardianship being granted to her parents, "pro-death", etc.
That's how the sides divide up, not the idiotically simplistic mantra that these threads usually devolve to of "pro-Terri/anti-Terri", etc.
What is unacceptable is the contempt for facts. Those who are cavalier or dismissive of facts are deserving of contempt from those of us who value things like reality and truth.
Terri's eyes became sunken into her skull. Her nose was bleeding and her tongue got really swollen. Her skin and organs turned into rocks. Terri was so afraid and panting for every breath towards the end. Michael invited all his friends into Terri's room to gawk at her about a day before she died. They came out afterwards and said "We got to see her." Next this one guy said "We've got them surrounded now." by me. The police dept. didn't think that was a threat, just free speech. Michael's paid shills and friends were abnormal.
Thanks for bringing this up. So people who weren't aware will know:
You mentioned earlier she weighed 110 and lost her period. So did my wife. She was in great spirits those days except for her worry about beloved Michael.
Yep, she was looking good that day, came back from the hair dresser, had gone to Mass at church, and wound up face down on the floor. The medical exam a few months later showed she had lots of broken bones dating from this time period, not from abuse at the hospital. No HEART ATTACK! That myth comes up as fast as it is disproved. The med eval is floating all over. I was handing out droves to the press in Pinellas Park. Funny, that doesn't get all the press.
"The "reality" of this "issue" is that we, as a society, have just lowered the value of human life several more notches.
We murder the unborn for convenience; we murder the almost born for convenience; we murder the elderly for convenience; and now, we murder the infirm for convenience."
This issue has nothing to do with abortion. (Which I am against, BTW) Also, can you provide an example of the elderly being murdered for convenience?
Also can you provide evidence that Terri was murdered for "convenience"? Considering the legal battle, the convenient and easy thing for Michael to do would have been to just step off and walk away, sign an annulment and be done with it.
"How is it that we have the temerity to judge our "advanced" culture to be better than that of the Nazis, or the Stalinist, or the Maoists, or for that matter... the Islamic terrorists?"
You know the answer to that, you don't need me to tell you. And if you don't, I can't help you.
Duh. Why do you think?
Thoughtful reply. Thank you. I particularly dislike the "Death to Terri" label, since I thought she should have just been given to her parents to be taken care of. I have told my husband that if I ever experience an event where my heart has stopped for many minutes, and my cerebral cortex has been without oxygen for over 6 minutes, don't let anyone near me with the jumper cables, and failing that, don't let anyone stick a feeding tube in me and keep my body going. What's the point of that?
What is their side? The conservative side? This site is for conservatives and if you aren't one of them why are you here?
Ha! Your post was #666. Anyhoo, if this so-called expert cannot determine the cause of death, which apparently he can's, then he's an incompetent boob. Major DUH.
Oh, I get it; it's a game! Just keep thinking of reason why everybody's lying, right?
Well, except the Judge Greer cheerleaders and those who somehow feel justified/vindicated by this autopsy report for supporting Terri's courted ordered execution by starvation/dehydration.
Bump.
Waiting for Fuhrman's book.
Excellent post.....we wouldn't even do to a dog what was done to Terri.....and yet, some people will defend what was done to Terri.... until they meet their Maker.
bottom line....
