This can't be. Mikey and Felos assured us Terri is not conscious, does not react to stimuli, and her death is peaceful and gentle.

They have been lying about more than just how "peaceful and painless" this is for Terri. Another nurse who took care of Terri was interviewed by Greta tonight and she said Michael was mean and that he lied to them and about things he said he did for Terri. I don't think those were the answers Greta was looking for.

Terri will be Michael's fourth "dying with dignity "patient"". Both of his parents and his "fiancees" mother and now Terri. He sounds like a person that should be investigated to me.

My experience with this says Hospice and Michael Schiavo are helping Terri die as quickly as they can.

I think they are doing a very humane thing by giving her morphine.

All or most doctors I've heard say that this is a painless process but they don't know that for sure.

Give the woman morphine and lots of it I say.

If someone was going to actually step in and save her it would have happened by now. Let her go out pain free.

Morphine is also given sometimes-a "little" too much to stop the respritory system. Been there when it happened with my brother-in-law.

I saw on TV earlier where they showed that her brain was mostly full of fluid. From an old xray or something. They compared it to a healthy brain.

So, I guess this is all for the good.

Unless, of course, the image I saw was not really her brain because her husband is in the medical profession and is surrounded by people that are in the medical "death" profession. And the image I saw was not actually her.

What am I saying? They would not lie. That would be as low as choking your young wife and then eventually getting away with murder with the help of the court system using crooked lawyers and judges being paid from the lawsuit settlements you have collected on and the eventual life insurance proceeds.

What is your IQ??? The Dr. said some people were given this. He wasn't this woman's doctor. He was just talking of treatment given to brain damaged people in general. And he listed this as one of many drug's.

There is a terrible logic to this situation. From what I have read, Schiavo is a test case of the Right to die movement (DIE) "to establish a legal precedent to end the lives of the disabled using hearsay evidence" (http://www.lifenews.com/bio186.html). Also, with the looming crisis in Social Security and the national health care debate, those cases of catastophic costs for certain people, e.g., the disabled, infirm, aged, handicapped, schizophrenic or otherwise mentally diseased, those who need transplants, etc., become targets of a synthesis of carrying capacity meets implementation of Marx's theory of abstract labor and the costs of care.

DIE has moved to redefine American consciousness according to a strategy enacted in three stages: "Professional Education, Institutional Change, and Public Engagement." (http://home.earthlink.net/~joyinlife/#Community-State_Partnerships) As part of this strategy, the religious element is problematic, and so, must be diffused with 'dignity therapy.' "Spirituality is consistently defined as a critical domain in end-of-life care; research on interventions to improve spiritual well-being is very limited. Preliminary evidence of a specific intervention—dignity therapy—shows positive outcomes for both the patient and family." In Terri Schiavo's case, the guardian's legal representation comes from DIE, as do the Schiavo doctors. Clearly, as she has been in a hospice for years, this having been petitioned since 1997, although she is not terminally ill Terri has been marked for death for some time. (http://www.thedavidallenshow.com/topics/terrishiavo/20050228.somethingsfishy/20050228.lawschange)

That being said, in Florida, in 1999, food and water (hydration) was added to language of the law that defined artificial means. (http://www.thedavidallenshow.com/topics/terrishiavo/20050228.somethingsfishy/20050228.lawschange) DIE advocates using a combination of dehydration and morphine to promote death. (http://www.worldnetdaily.com/news/article.asp?ARTICLE_ID=21770) This has cleared the way for other, more chilling recommendations to be made by 'experts.' Witness: In Florida's Interim report from the Panel for the Study on End of Life Care (1999), among the findings is the "Recommend(ation) that the Florida Legislature remove from F.S. 765 the requirement that a person be
“terminally ill” before life-prolonging procedures can be withheld or withdrawn. [1 dissenting vote]" (http://www.thedavidallenshow.com/topics/terrishiavo/20050228.somethingsfishy/20050228.lawschange)

From the same website: "Research indicates that the cost of hospice care in Florida results in an overall savings of Medicare dollars; a Lewin study reports that Medicare saves $.52 for every dollar spent on hospice care." It really is all about the money. Welcome to the Gulag and the USSA.

If these people were halfway honest, they'd have been calling for a lethal dose of morphine from the start.

Sick bastards.

Does he have a life insurance policy on her?

She may be gone by daybreak. We must keep up the fight, though.

I wonder who made this decision.

Probably Terri's personal male nurse.

Terri's "Exit Protocol" was posted here last Friday. There are several different drugs that may be used, depending on what stage she's in.

" morphine was not the drug of choice in this situation, and she would probably be given another drug."

What, a diuretic?

Heaven forbid she'd be given anything to speed up the process. The humane thing to do is draw it out as long as possible. After all, God should have as long a timeframe as possible so he can perform a miracle.

At least Kevorkian killed people who wanted to die.

He has more morality than Mikey, Felos or Greer.

We are now 20 minutes into Good Friday.

My fast has begun.

And this may well be a very historic Good Friday for our Republic.

Dr Gomez said Terri Schiavo to be given morphine to insure no pain as she dies.

The fiancee's mother is dead? Either Jodi Centazone is just like Mikey or she is in for it.

I wonder which one will kill each other off first (or their kids).
