I'm not sure where its at now, but I heard that there was going to be a 15 day assessment period. If so, then this should confirm her state today.

The report also said, that she has no cerebral cortex, and that the big eyes etc. are just reflex actions. If she actually has no cerebral cortex this should be confirmed in the 15 day assessment period. If it is confirmed, then really, in all honesty, no amount of rehab will help.

They also mentioned that the husband was not what the family is saying he is, and that it was a campaign against him. (words to that effect). Do we really know the truth here, maybe the family is juming to conclusions out of high emotion.

They also said that Florida law is such that a feeding tube does constitute life support.

As much as I feel terribly sorry for the family and Terry, if she really is 'brain dead', would she not be better off in a better place?

Basically you are saying starving someone to death is OK?

I don't agree, sorry. If you listen to they attorney and anyone connected with him, including the husband, everyone is a liar and/or misstating everything. Now, where one might conclude that Terri's family might have a little prejudice here (I don't believe they do) then you would not count what they say. But, look at the volumes of people, professionals, specialists who have had first-hand dealings with the Schiavo team and they have NOTHING to gain by coming forward with there stories. Even if Terri is beyond hope (I don't believe she is) then you still have the issues of the husband, his attorney(s), questionable antics and conduct by Judge Greer, and last but not least, the medical professionals who have stated at more than one facility about Terri's medical records being "sanitized, tampered with to remove documentation of her condition". I made a post on one of the threads and asked a simple question: If someone removed medical information from your records in order to present to someone who might view them to make an analysis, or doctored same records to present a lack of progress, etc., thereby completely distorting the reality of the situation AND these records were used to make a determination of whether you lived or died, wouldn't you be upset? This involves everyone, because next time, it might be you. Plus, the people who have done this have much to gain and much to lose depending on the outcome.

Scriblett: You are totally out of contact with reality.

Obviously you have not followed these threads, or you would know that she is quite responsive, to the point of speaking on many occasions.

Notice to all trolls:

Stay off of these threads. If you have no facts or comfort to add, then find something else to do.

>>>The report also said, that she has no cerebral cortex

ROFL! Did it fall out during transporation to and from the hospice?

Do you know what the cerebral cortex is? It is only ARGUED that the cerebral cortex is the organ of human mentation. Abnormalities in the cerebral cortex is still being studied with the relations in human behavior. No one has a clear understanding of its developmental processes.

So please ping me with a report if you get a hold of the link or copy.
