However, IF it was found that these fructures were do to severe bone loss .. I would hope that doctors would have had follow up tests to make sure she had no other fractures
But since MS won't release these records .. I guess it comes down to whether or not you trust MS .. would you trust him with your life??
One thing that I've never been able to understand: The 'save Terri' people keep saying that her medical records were destroyed, and/or that MS had them sealed / not ever to be released, yet to 'prove' every point, the same people keep saying that the (medical) documents state . . . .
Have you seen the actual documents? A 'document' created by someone brought in by her parents and that hasn't treated her is not what I mean.
You must just be better at this KNOWING stuff than I am.
The real question then is why you want to force a continued artificial sustance of her body, when she (her mind / most of her brain) is gone, and when she had expressed that she didn't want that?
Furthermore, if she had an eating disorder which is only speculative at this point because we haven't heard of any official diagnosis, she could have been committed and force fed, although treatments differ. I can pretty much guarantee that if she had deteriorated beyond a certain point, she would have been force fed and possibly committed by a court to have it done if not done voluntarily.
The bottom line is no matter what brought her to this point, it is immoral and inhumane to withhold food and water to hasten her death because she has become a burden to her husband.
And yes, it could be inhumane to keep her in this state indefinitely, in which case, AFTER EVERYTHING POSSIBLE HAD BEEN DONE TO REHABILITATE HER FAILED WHICH HAS NOT BEEN DONE, then I would hope that her life would end naturally and mercifully, with the aid of the feeding tube. Oh the irony.
That's the problem, other then MS and his brother there is no evidence that these are her wishes
Tell me, would you trust MS, or a pro-death lawyer like Felos or a liberal Judge like Geer with your life, especially after all that has happened and all that we do know?
I sure as heck don't
The real question then is why you want to force a continued artificial sustance of her body, when she (her mind / most of her brain) is gone, and when she had expressed that she didn't want that?
Do you have proof that her mind & body are gone?
has there been any therapy from an independent doctor/medical team in the last 10 years to say she can not function?
No there hasn't
So why the rush to kill her and starve her to death??
AND if there was proof that she expressed these wishes .. I may not like it .. but I could except it.
The point is .. if we do not know for sure .. we should side on the caution of life and not death.
Once we cross that line, it will be a very scary place for this country and not a road that we should go down.
So I will ask you the same question Glen Beck asked MS's brother
Noticed by whom, herself? If she noticed her bones were being broken, (assuming here you mean during say an 'argument' with hubby), that doesn't mean she told anyone or that doctors would have had a reason to check for it.
After all, how many abused women go running to doctors or police?
You are using the same thought processes as George Felos. 18 Judges, my ass. Get your facts straight. 17 Judges refusing to review does not mean the same as 18 judges agreeing. Eight witnesses, to what?
Someone who was 200 pounds could get down to a size 12 and 120 pounds without being an anorexic. what liquid diet was she on? If she was following something like that slimfast one, she would not have severe imbalances from that. Too much of this is pure speculation --- I don't think any doctor ever made the diagnosis of anorexia ---- it's all hearsay.
Yes, but you need to understand two related things. First, I trust my wife very much. Second, if I were in that condition, I would want her to act as MS has acted.
And where is your 'proof' that wanting to die is her previously expressed wish?
The real question then is why you want to force a continued artificial sustance of her body, when she (her mind / most of her brain) is gone, and when she had expressed that she didn't want that?
More of your basing one untruth on another. Artifical sustenance. You mean being FED?
When her mind is gone? You know for sure her brain is gone? Where did you get that info, from Michael again? Even he admitted she is not brain-dead.
I wonder how much of that malpractice money went to Terri at all. I know he's paid the lawyer who is helping him kill her now an awful lot of that money ---- that doesn't seem like it was what they awarded that money to do.
Why are you continuing to post to me? (just joking - I'm glad you're continuing - we may both learn something - not likely for either of us to change bottom line opinions, but we may each learn something).
That is not what I asked .. I am not talking about your wife
I am talking about Terry's husband Michael and his very well known pro-death attorney??
Would you trust your life with them??
Yes or no??
Oh I guess it's because I like to bang my head up against the wall for fun *L*
Yes, learning is good .. and yes I do realize that emotions are very high regarding this case
But please look at the whole picture .. just as I will try to do the same
