Took out her feeding tube?....ya'll know this just doesnt seem right...hope somebody does something..good luck to ya Terri...

[Pan_Yans Wife]

I don't know about you, but I am only drinking fluids, today. Not eating any food.

Have you started a fast for Terri? Or, is that not your suggestion?

[lady lawyer]

There was a thread yesterday stating that there was significant evidence that the woman's injuries were caused,not by a heart attack, but by her husband's attempt to strangle her.

I had never heard this before. Is there any truth to it? Or is it someone's last ditch attempt to find a way to save her?

It seems to me that if it were true, even the anti-life media would pay attention.

[Pan_Yans Wife]

I have heard that many times.

The media won't pick up on it because A.) they believe she is comatose and B.) Kobe is a sexy story.

an excellent idea...

[MinuteGal]

She's neither "comatose" nor in a "vegetative state" except by the media's own skewed standards.

One thing I most appreciate about the ultimate leader hero savior
is that he left the ninety and nine
to go save the one
The most powerfull man on earth
could save one of the most helpless
If he wanted to

Expected to die in ten days? Regardless of her situation, starvation is a horrible way to go. The ten day estimation seems to be an admission that she is healthy and resiliant enough to withstand the traumas involved with being starved to death.

Is this the face of euthinasia? Is this the "die with dignity" crap that euthinasia proponents glorify? Why not cast her into the Florida swamp for the gators to devour?

No, no dignity here. No dignity by her worthless husband, the judge (who obviously keeps his brain in a jar on his desk while he resides on the bench) or even Jeb.

C'mon, Jeb. It's time to step up and do what you can. Frankly, if I were you, I'd go to that hospital, personally escort this poor womens parents into the room to at least say goodbye.

God save us from the left.

Euthanasia sounded good in the beginning, when people were envisioning the elderly.

Now, with the Schiavo case, everyone should stop and think again.

For in the future, children will be targeted for being handicapped.

[Pan_Yans Wife]

But we shouldn't have to wait for the President or the Governor to act.

I am not a citizen of Florida. However, the people of Florida should next be railing against their legislature for a change in their laws. If they don't, then it appears they will not learn the lesson of the Schiavo case.

Jeb Bush should order a stay of execution...

Cuba and Berlin are not far away.

[Pan_Yans Wife]

I agree.

However, this is a civil case. And it appears he has exhausted all legal avenues.

However, if Terri could be divorced from her husband, citing infidelity... but, she needs an independent guardian. And thus far the courts have refused to remove her husband as the guardian. Blatant conflict of interest, in my opinion.

.................citing ABANDONMENT.

[Greybird]

I find it ironic (well, what isn't these days?) that so many who are demonstrating and floviating about "defending marriage" are so perturbed by a husband exercising one of the legal privileges of marriage. That is, being the default guardian of one's spouse in extremis, when he or she is incapable of making or expressing judgments as to what is best for oneself.

Hs anyone noticed the the National Organization for Women is strangely silent on this? Maybe we are sending all of requests in the wrong direction. Anyone getting my idea?
