In the News/Activism forum, on a thread titled Charlie Crist Winner of Florida Governor Primary, BykrBayb wrote:
All of the experts say you're wrong. Even the experts who supported killing her agreed that she was still alive, and showed signs of awareness. Your personal distaste for disabled people is no substitute for the facts.
Nice ad hominem, there, BykrBayb. For the record, I have no distaste for disabled people. To suggest such is ludicrous.
Now, on to the meat of the post...
What "experts"? You mean the "experts" that ACTUALLY EXAMINED Terri? Have you reviewed all the medical evidence? I HAVE. I actually took the time to read it, all of it, and the overwhelming weight of the medical evidence clearly and unequivocally supports the FACT that Terri Sciavo's brain was GONE. Sure, her body was still alive, but the conscious, thinking PERSON that was Terri died back in 1990. The only thing that was obscene about the case was the way it was dragged on for so long. I'm glad the SCOTUS allowed the sad spectacle to finally end.
Are lying about reading it, or lying about what was said by the experts? Because the truth is, they all testified that she responded to stimulation. Every last one of them agreed on that. She was not dead, as you claim. They all agree she was not dead, until she was starved and dehydrated to death. Your low opinion of her is still not a substitute for the facts.
Now why should they let facts get in the way of self-righteous rage?
