Yeah. I look forward to the MSM acknowledging this letter and trying to answer it. Yeah. Sure.
Forty-one doctors versus a columnist? And they think I'm going to take the doctors' opinion over the columnist? Please.
The sad truth is, Terri Schiavo was executed by the state.
Waiting for the FR death squad to swoop in and attempt assuage their own guilt through insults and invective ......... any minute now.
Ellen Goodman misguided and inaccurate? He is being too kind.
I keep thinking of the day that Michael will be tried for the murder of Terri.
All these doctors saw Terri?
The Schiavo family should find a reason to lay a ruinous lawsuit on her.
"How many times have people made it a big deal that "three" people said that Terri made statements that she would not want to be kept alive on life support? Test time. How many can name who the three people were and what their relationship was to Michael?"
Take all the time you want :-)
You can have three guesses, but shouldn't need them :-)
So Ellen's her usual self, then?
Peace Kills
Greg Levy, a UMass student, killed himself by fire in Amherst Common in 1990 to protest the Gulf War, and now it's hard even to find a single mention of him on the web, despite the fact that his step-mother, Ellen Goodman, was a syndicated political columnist (who never once mentioned him in print, as far as I can tell).
Ellen Goodman "misguided, inaccurate"??
I suppose it's understandable that Bobby Schindler would want to set the record straight, but somebody should have clued him in about what a sick cow Goodman is. Best ignored.
What i dont understand is why the legislature cannot pass a law that requires a person to make a legal document stating that you want life support measures to cease after a certain measure of time or whatever. you have a right to refuse medical care.we have laws that make you go through formalities to transfer assets, ie. a will.
if you do not have such a legal document stating your wishes in a case like terri schiavo's, then the default position is life support until you die a natural death.
this will take the decision away from somebody else and put it in the hands of the person who's life is obviously affected.
A life support machine is not a life-giving machine it only supports the life that is already there, so life will not go on "indefinitely" like someone on this thread erroneously believed.
