What else can one expect from "NO PRICIPLED RADIO"?
They are trash radio and they are the ones that need to be unpluged from life.

Almost all reports about Terri are the same.

Nothing unexpected here.
I hope those doctors with a differing expert opinion, who were mentioned on some other thread, continue to speak out.
It would be nice if some PR firm offered to help the Schindlers. Wishful thinking, perhaps.

I gag when NPR commentators glibly talk about upholding Terri Schiavo's "right to die" as if she herself had exercised that right--e.g. by writing a living will--as opposed to having her husband exercise that "right" for her when she's unable to contradict him. It's not just NPR. I notice ABC radio news has taken to refer to it as "the right to die case of a Florida woman". It's been bugging me for days.

"Susie from Dubuque,"Nuland was practically sneering when he referred to this prototype of America (in his eyes). Hey! I am 'Susie from Dubuque" and I don't need some pothead, Lefty, pseudo-intellectual giving me lessons in ethics!

Nope. Today's "Schindler's list" only has one name on it, and that one doesn't stand a chance.

"the right to die case of a Florida woman". "The right to kill by an adulterous husband"

Great!

I heard this piece. Bias doesn't even begin.
And it is all done so blithely.

"Notice to All Potential Mickey Kaus "Surrogates"-- If I'm ever in Terri Schiavo's situation, and not in any pain, please follow these simple steps: Keep the feeding tube in, and keep Dr. Nuland out."
HA, it's a funny thing, Ron Kuby, on Curtis & Kuby said essentially the same thing. He said (I paraphrase): Assume I am a happy vegetable, keep me warm, keep me dry, give me medication, I won't mind the buzz. Don't kill me.
Ron Kuby, I almost fell out of the car.

I love his rant. I'm surprised the source of balance is 'Slate'.
To: NYer
Wow... Slate bashing NPR!

I notice ABC radio news has taken to refer to it as "the right to die case of a Florida woman". It's been bugging me for days. Up until today ... literally ... ABC News maintained an active link to a story they published on Christmas Day in 1999. It was entitled A Christmas Miracle. This was the true story of a woman, Patti White Bull, who suddenly awoke from a 16 year coma, or as it was referred to in the story - a Persistant Vegetative State.
Today, that link went dead! Another freeper was able to find the Google cached version with only the thumbnail image of Patti. Why do you suppose they pulled it? Here is the link to the cached version.

When Terri stands up and heads for the mall, I'll ping you, okay?
