In legal parlance, that is referred to as "shifting the burden."

And that's EXACTLY what's wrong. There is no longer the PRESUMPTION of the RIGHT to live, contrary to the rights afforded to every citizen under the U.S. Constitution...as that is an "inalienable" right....and because what is being done, "shifting the burden," it violates the Constitution, therefore, it is ILLEGAL.

"Those who viewed the WHOLE FOUR AND A HALF HOURS OF VIDEO (Greer wasn't the only court to do so) were quite convinced that the diagnosis was correct"

As I recall, the court commented that there were 6 "possible" responses out of 106 attempts to elicit a response. Kinda like...lights are on, nobody's home.

"Terri's friends said that Terri disapproved of the feeding tube being removed from Quinlan. That speaks volumes. "

Volumes of hearsay evidence?

Just found this in the World Net piece - which half answers my question in post # 439

"Nor is she terminally ill, which is generally a requirement for admission to a hospice"

My investigative reporter antennae are twitching - I suspicion this may well be going on across the country

Another angle we need to check out and get out to public - I believe Hospice's are not, legally, supposed to accept a patient who is not terminal and expected to die within 6 months???

The maneuver is to admit with the stipulation that food and water is to be withheld. The patient will die within 6 mos.

It is a big job, would you be able to take it on?

Uh oh, is this thread going to vanish into smoke if eeevil accepts? (theme from mission impossible here)

"My understanding is that Greer is legally blind,"

Justice is suppose to be blind?

Yeah, that is what we are all finding out, much to our chagrin.

Will you help? Could you kindly get together one post that has the news media Namesphone numbers, e-mail addresses, for Georgia?

I have another really good guy who already has a list for talk radio. I would ask if you can volunteer to get Georgia news Media contacts, and then post, post and repost on FR, direct people over to this thread and ask everyone to contact the local press.

Would you have time to do this?

If only other people were eeevil like you. God bless you, eeevil. Wish I could call. Simply can't. But I'll do some research tomorrow and make a link page if any is needed.

Good night and

THIS IS PART OF THE PROBLEM!

You know that the judge didn't know (COUGH COUGH) that people are admitted to Hospice ALL the time without the proper and lawful requirements met...

YEAH! OK!

but then again-- he is NOT an attorney either!

another interesting excerpt from World net:

"Todd had the IV fluids started that evening, but informed the family that they would have to come to the hospice to sign papers to have the feeding tube inserted. Once that was done, Magouirk would not be able to stay at the hospice."

So why was Terri, who also was not terminal and was on feeding and water tube - still imprisoned in the Hospice? Was this also illegal?

Killing the disabled is far more common than most of us even thought, and we are more aware than most.

"Agreed; and well worth repeating."

For sure.

okay the most polite person on this thread, you ready to lend a hand?

Could you possible make cotact with organizations for persons with disabilites. make the intital contact and then post contact information on this thread and post, and re-post and ask people to ask these organizations to help.

Do you thinkyou could do that?
