Bottom line is her rights have been denied by this Judge and court. You couldn't be more right.

The cerebral cortex is questionable in people who can eat, too. In some FR posters, too...

A person committing suicide is one thing, a doctor helping them is something different. Your privilege. I feel differently and concede that your view is more popular right now. But, that doesn't make it right.
But anyway, what does that have to do with this situation?
Very little, actually. Its posters like MarMema who keep desperately trying to drag it into the discussion.
(i just got here, and haven't read all 570 replies, sorry)
Join the club. I'm having trouble keeping up with the replies, and I've done nothing but read this thread for the past hour.

Yes, I know you didn't make that comment. My cut and paste skills need improvement I guess.:) No biggy, I tend to have the same problem myself ;0)
I'm here to say not to rely on them. The best thing to do, especially with older people, is to talk to them about the subject in some detail before they become seriously ill.
I totally agree, that is very good advice
When I had mine made up, I did make it so that not just one person could make that decision. However, with what has happened to Terry, I think I need to revise my Wills

LOL, while the docs are frantically whipping through a chart searching for info.....and not knowing which drug is "ok" to give or not.
It is the most complex situation in the world, when it happens in the ED.
DNR's are much simpler and easier to deal with.

Many are trying to, but the Judge isn't listening and apparently, neither are you Well, if the capability exists under the law to shove the feeding tube back down Ms. Schiavo's throat, then more power to you. I would hope for her sake that she would be allowed to die with some modicum of dignity though.

If you understood what MarMema is talking about, you wouln't make that comment. When posters make such asinine comments such as "how much water your piece of paper will hold when the time comes," I really have no choice.

No one being starved of food and water can possibly 'die with dignity'.
To: strela
Ah yes, the god of dignity. Let me tell you about all the dignified deaths I have seen,
especially those very dignified deaths from dehydration.
You want to hear the gritty details about the dignity of those people who died from lack of fluid?

Strela could probably elaborate on this more than I could since she has one. Actually, I have a Living Will, a standard will, and something called a "DNR Order," all specific to the state of Texas. Together, they clearly spell out my wishes if I am involuntarily put into the same sort of situation that Ms. Schiavo is in.

To: EternalVigilance
She didn't have the feeding tube down her throat. I stand corrected. Back down the incision then.

There's a copy of Texas' DNR on the Internet somewhere - I'll try to drag up the URL for you in a few minutes.

She didn't use it to determine the proper course of medical treatment; her doctors did that. She only used it to make sure she wasn't being kept "alive" unnecessarily. She filled out the forms after asking her physician questions...but she was a smart woman who had been married to a surgeon, too. That your mother was able to ask her physician questions is significant. Living wills often come into play precisely at the point where the patient cannot.
