Every time a rock is lifted in the Terri Schiavo tragedy, another conflict of interest comes slithering out.
The conflict-of-interest potential in the right-to-die connections among current figures involved in the case are only outdone by the Woodside Hospice board of directors conflict of interest reality.
Theres the death-is-beautiful, right-to-die activist Michael Schiavo attorney George Felos.
Dont make eye contact with Felos, who claims he can ascertain a persons desire to die by "looking into their eyes" and letting their spirits speak directly to him.
A jumped-up volunteer at Woodside Hospice, Felos became chairman of the Hospice of the Florida Suncoast, which runs Woodside, and only came off the board about a year after Michael Schiavo placed his estranged wife there.
Then theres Dr. Ronald Cranford, handpicked by Michael Schiavo to examine Terri and on whose say-so Terri was categorized in "persistent vegetative state". Cranford is the MD who officially ordered Terris feeding tube removed on March 18. A neurologist, Cranford testifies in cases such as Terris around the country, always pumping the dehydration and starvation side. He was 1992s featured speaker for the pro-euthanasia Hemlock Society, which was renamed The Choice in Dying Society. (WorldNetDaily).
Cranford nicknamed himself, "Dr. Humane Death".
A bioethicist, and a pioneer in euthanasia and right-to-die issues, Dr. Humane Death is a fully-fledged member of The Choice in Dying Society.
At least Cranford is not a board member of the Hospice of the Florida Suncoast.
Mary Labyak, CEO of Woodside Hospice has direct ties to the Euthanasia Society of America and Hemlock for Hospice, described by Hyscience.com as "an organization that seeks to accelerate the dying process." . . . .

wow. priceless comment just now on FoxNews/Dayside from Michael Baden, MD (forensic pathologist):
"One of the questions the autopsy will look at is, 'Could she have improved? Was there any kind of brina tissue left that could have helped her recover?'"
Is that a case of shoot first, ask questions later or what? Gee, too bad there weren't any simple studies that could have shown brain activity or anything < / sar > . . .and too bad we couldn't simply give Terri simple therapy and care that she'd been responding to earlier, acc. to MEDPLEX and other records. Yeah, folks, it is in writing.
Again, follow the money.
i HEARD rush READ THIS. aMAZING THAT THIS IS THE first i'VE HEARD ABOUT ALL THESE many CONFLICTS OF INTEREST.
