The reports you heard from nursing home aides that Terri was responsive years ago are not true.

I guess the film I saw showing her respond to her parents wasn't true either...

Make sure you let Randall Terry know how you feel about adultery.

Here's his real statement:

I quit loving her long ago. I love someone else now. She's in the way. She's on my nerves. She's gotta go.

I seriously doubt Michael ever loved anyone but himself.

The part about him getting doctors to put electrodes in her brain is very strange. I have to wonder if this made her condition worse.

Why did he not seek a divorce? A court would have granted him one in no time flat.

...because then he would lose the ability to inherit the remaining cash in her medical care fund when she dies... That also seems to be why he's in such a rush to finish her off, before her care uses up all the cash he stands to inherit.

(The fund was at one time over a million dollars.)

"....woman sitting and watching another person dehydrating and starving to death."

I just visited the Holocaust Museum - there are authenic photos and films there of people like Michael Schiavo, his paramour and his future mother-in-law! They should be exposed for what they are and inhumane is the least. Paraphrasing the words of General Eisenhower quoted on the wall there "beasts!"

This isn't even remotely believable. I can't even figure out how this could physically happen to someone who doesn't drool. Heck, I can't figure out how "swab moisture" could make -anyone- choke, even someone who was a complete vegetable.

exactly!

My very first babysitting job (when I was 10 in '76) was taking care of a beautiful 8-yr-old girl, Stacy. I think she had MD. My job was to keep sitting her up on the couch and wipe the drool from her mouth. When I had to feed her, it took a long time, and a lot came back out. Her mother adored her. Stacy's precious little life did more for me than I could have imagined. Through her, I learned patience and compassion. These are virtues that many today (especially those in power) have rejected.

And yet the ghouls here slander this poor man who has had to suffer through this hell for all these years.

The 'ghouls' you refer to are a group of human beings who have actively used the internet to find out all they can about this situation before making the assumption that there should be an investigation of Michael Schiavo, and that Terri should not be put to death just yet.

The investigation so far has turned up quite a few 'links' between the JUDGE, and the owners/board of directors of the HOSPICE she was put in.

There is medical information available that Michael is trying to suppress that indicates that Terri's sudden and for no apparent reason heart attack at an early age, may have been the result of someone trying to strangle her to death.

Have you put any time or effort into finding out the facts in this case?

There have been numerous people here on FR who have claimed that this "greedy" man never spent any money on therapy for her, etc. The level of assumptions and ignorance, and downright lies, has been shocking.

OK. I suppose you have personally investigated the whole story, and you presently have the documentation proving that he spent (NOT ANY OF HIS OWN) but TERRI's MONEY on TERRI for her therapy, and did not spend it on LAWYERS to help him have her killed.

Please, show it to us so we all can be enlightened.

The fact that the default when quality of life is in question is "death" is very frightening to me.

BUMP

Actually, I feel that "mercy" is an appropriate name for mercy. Why, you ask?

Forced sterilization in Germany was the forerunner of the systematic killing of the mentally ill and the handicapped. In October 1939, Hitler himself initiated a decree which empowered physicians to grant a "mercy death" to "patients considered incurable according to the best available human judgment of their state of health." The intent of the socalled "euthanasia" program, however, was not to relieve the suffering of the chronically ill. The Nazi regime used the term as a euphemism: its aim was to exterminate the mentally ill and the handicapped, thus "cleansing" the "Aryan" race of persons considered genetically defective and a financial burden to society.

The idea of killing the incurably ill was posed well before 1939. In the 1920s, debate on this issue centered on a book coauthored by Alfred Hoche, a noted psychiatrist, and Karl Binding, a prominent scholar of criminal law. They argued that economic savings justified the killing of "useless lives" ("idiots" and "congenitally crippled"). Economic deprivation during World War I provided the context for this idea. During the war, patients in asylums had ranked low on the list for rationing of food and medical supplies, and as a result, many died from starvation or disease. More generally, the war undermined the value attached to individual life and, combined with Germany's humiliating defeat, led many nationalists to consider ways to regenerate the nation as a whole at the expense of individual rights.

In 1935 Hitler stated privately that "in the event of war, [he] would take up the question of euthanasia and enforce it" because "such a problem would be more easily solved" during wartime. War would provide both a cover for killing and a pretext--hospital beds and medical personnel would be freed up for the war effort. The upheaval of war and the diminished value of human life during wartime would also, Hitler believed, mute expected opposition. To make the connection to the war explicit, Hitler's decree was backdated to September 1, 1939, the day Germany invaded Poland.

Michael Schiavo, you will burn in hell; of this I am sure. I am certain that God will punish you as heinously as you deserve. My only regret is that I won't be there to see you writhe in agony.

And if by any act of mine I could hurry you to meet your Maker, believe you me, I'd do it.

Ah, yes...I see your perspective, and the historical significance. Let us hope our Constitution is strong enough to extend it's guarantees even to the most seriously ill and disabled.

Take courage...I don't think it is any accident that this is all happening during a Conservative Renaissance.

Why couldn't the Schindlers step forward and state that they just remembered something Terri said to them the last time they spoke to her? If they stated that Terri told them she wanted to make sure that those caring for her (should she be rendered incapable) would pursue all possible interventions for her medically, then the hearsay would be theirs against Michael's?

Just airing some evil thoughts here...

Thank you for the reminder. You are absolutely right.

I need to go shower...and start the day. I need to do a few things before the Senate Vote.

See you later today? :)

Your comments are so childish, I wonder whether your parents are aware that you were up past your bedtime on a school night, no less.
