It appears that Terri Schiavo is going to be starved and dehydrated. I don't see how it going to be stopped short of a kidnapping to save her life.
If we are to believe sworn affidavits, Michael Schiavo denied his beloved wife rehab, speech, and occupational therapy. Terri actually was able to drink from a baby bottle and ate pudding and jello. He threatened to fire a nurse if she got nourishment from anything but the feeding tube?
Why just the feeding tube? Because he could have that pulled and starve her to death. He had no interest in seeing that she learn to eat again.
A nurse has said that Terri was able to say "mommy," "help me," "hi," and express when she was in pain.
Terri is also being denied communion.
Michael thinks it is over when he has managed to starve and dehydrate her to death? No, Michael, I don't think so.
There will be a wrongful death suit filed of perhaps $20 million. The evidence will come out about the denial of rehab. Her broken bones will be investigated. Ultimately, Michael, some of the truth is going to see the light of day. You are not going to get away with it. Not in this life. Not in the next.
What perfect utopian state do you live in?
I just cannot take you seriously.
"was fired in 1996 for, among other things, claiming that another nurse at that facility was killing patients"
Yeeeeeow, good one.
Gee, I don't know why I'm not surprised.
Your question makes absolutely no sense. Why would someone who is dead NOT be buried? But Michael Schiavo has said she will be immediately cremated.
Nevada. We pride ourselves on being imperfect.
But we do have common sense.
What Gaybob has asked you to do is "read" what was in MS's head and when.
No Smartaleck, that's not what I asked Peach about. I'd appreciate it if you would not try to read something into my posts, particularly when I'm not posting to you.
"Your question makes absolutely no sense."
Neither does your answer "the tube is permanent".
No, I thank *you* for stating so eloquently a very important, true, HUMAN experience that SO relates to Terri's plight. It SO relates to it.
And in these past days where I haven't found much to smile about, I now smile with you, justshe...as smiles are definately contagious.
And in the films of Terri, she smiles with her eyes to her mom. :-)
Okay, I guess to a non-medical person that would seem like an odd answer. Please accept my apology.
"read something into my posts, particularly when I'm not posting to you."
Peach and I have been talking for several years now. Next time I won't do you the courtesy of including you in my post to her if you like? :-)
I think this issue has caused the biggest fight ever on FR.
I agree, and my heart is broken over it.
You think her family wants MONEY??? Sicko.
You actually think that the Schindlers are LIARS?? Schiavo for sure.....Schindlers, doubt it. What proof do you have?
Anyone know what Michael Schiavo's job is? I thought I had heard he was a nurse at some time.
A ton of people it seems, have pulled the plug on their loved ones, or not so loved ones, and they are trying to assuage their guilt. A ton of other people just have no religious beliefs about life.
And they both stayed at a Holiday Inn last nite.
Asked under oath (court testimony),
Q Mr. Schindler, would you lie to get custody of your daughter?
A Yes.
For quite a while, Michael didn't ALLOW her parents to visit!! Her PRIEST was not allowed to visit!! You have a culture of death problem.
