It is evident that attending nurses have affidavits affirming that Terri Schiavo was able only a few short years ago to ingest food and water orally.
This is also evidenced by the "guardian's" insistence on police overlooking her room to prevent her parents from doing just that....a secret drink, an ice chip, etc.
The judge's order is that the tube not be reinserted.
There is no moral order able to be given that she not have the CHANCE to eat and drink in a manner normal for babies and others who might find themselves in a dependent status.
Everyone in "right to die" land is saying "Let her go NATURALLY."
OK....if that is accepted, then it is only fair, judicious, humane, and NATURAL to have a good faith attempt by totally uninvolved, neutral caregivers to give her food and water orally.
Change strategy -- demand the natural feeding of Terri Schiavo if there is no hope of a feeding tube being inserted! Demand Federal intervention to require this reasonable and NATURAL act!
Let's put the lie to supposedly humane cries for a "Natural" death for Terri Schiavo.
Finally, to give her water would be the side that is affirmed by Jesus Christ Himself: "Mr 9:41 - And whoever gives you a cup of water to drink because of My name, since you belong to the Messiah-- I assure you: He will never lose his reward. "
You mean that Michael Schaivo isn't the Devil Incarnate? There are actually medical reasons precluding the tests? Imagine that!
By the way, I observe that you have no answer to my post #200.
That was Jude24's description. Not mine!
He's the author of the latest affidavit.
Jude think's he's some kind of publicity whore. I think he's some kind of medical expert and percipient witness.
I would guess "loss of brain function due to heart attack." That about covers it. But for the heart attack and the ensuing loss of brain function (and subsequently matter), Terri would be sitting down to dinner with her husband and teenage children right about now.
See 242.
So why has he not been called to the stand?
Why is he publishing affidavits today? The Supreme Court won't be looking at affidavits, but just the record.
You're right. Just off the b#tch. She's just a waste of oxygen anyway.
I would like to know what the sheriff of this county is doing about the attempted murder and ongoing abuse of Terri in his jurisdiction.
I expect a volcanic voice to come out of the sky any minute saying: What are you doing?
I notice there is no court and caption on the affidavit. What did the lawyers do with this? Just print it up for the press packet?
I personally liked the part about "Although I did not hear Terri utter discreet words, she demonstrates emotional expressivity by he use of single syllable vocalizations such as 'ah' making cooing sounds, or by expressing sounds of annoyance or moaning ...." That sounds like some lawyers I have faced in the courtroom.
Yup, that's where I want to be: another 15 years of single syllable cooing sounds, force feeding and diapers. And a good time was had by all.
The Death Certifcate SHOULD read....STARVED TO DEATH BY JUDGES.
see # 247.
He is Michael Schiavo's employer! Why would he do that?
That's what we hear from the Party of Death. The POD. The pod-people.
Elian Gonzales was taken at gunpoint on Holy Saturday.
If there is a volcanic voice to be heard, it will say, "Let my little girl go. Do you think she is like the '... rest who have no hope?'"
Unfortunately, I doubt it will be heard in a 'volcanic voice', but rather in a 'still small voice' which the cynical political types will be too busy listening to themselves to hear.
Lincoln was assasinated on Good Friday. Anchorage was destroyed by earthquake on Good Friday. Still, this case is coming at a most significant time when many of are already reflective even in the best of times. Or maybe especially in the best of times.
Funny thing about the volcanic voice: not everybody hears it.
The Beatitudes!
Right. How did all those doctors miss that over all these years? She strangled herself?
I know you wouldn't want mere facts to interfere with your pet conspiracy theory, but here's the summary of the evidence at the trial.
On February 25, 1990, in the early morning hours, Terri Schiavo suffered cardiac arrest, apparently due to an imblance of potassium in her system... The paramedics came, performed CPR and took her to a hospital. She has never regained consciousness and to this day remains in a comatose state at a nursing home in Largo.
Boy those doctors and their 'cardiac arrest' and the 'potassium imbalance,' how did they miss the much more likely and commonplace 'self-strangulation' in the middle of the night? Those kidders?
