The other problem, is : Do we want to set up a precedent where the disabled have to prove that they are worhty of life?
Your posts show that the lawyers are all talking about weather/if Terri can recover at all, or how much can she recover. My question is, even if she can only make a partial recovery, or even no recovery at all- does that give a judge the right to kill her? Or others like her , because they are disabled? Especially when there is NO WRITTEN LIVING WILL and the only given evidence is HEAR-SAY from the guardian ?
(I have worked with patients/children with disabilities similar to Terri's. One thing I've noticed is that you really don't know how much a person can recover until you try working with them. I've seen improvement over and over again in people that were said by "the doctors" to not be capable of it. The key was that someone was working with them, doing therapy, providing stimulation exc....According to what I've read, MS has gone out of his way to deny Terri any kind of therapy , stimulation. ( Neglect coud be included i.e. her teeth were not brushed , she has severe contractures-no Range of Motion excercises done). Your previous post, where the the parents had to make a huge effort to get Terri to respond on the video is because- No one has worked with her for years, but please note: she still does respond, however long it takes to get there.)
But, back to the previous question PLEASE GO HERE
I could also mention the pattern of viciuosness on the part of the HINO, wich culminted in him denying her Last Rites when she was dying of the court ordered starvation..... The preceeding is my opinion yadda yadda yadda
Well, what about the terrorists? They believe they have been elected by God to murder. (Of course, they god they are referring to is not God, the Creator.)
Ok...where do the directions limit the physicians to only the diagnostic tests???
"In order to obtain the best available medical evaluation and because at least one of the Schindlers experts in his affidavit has accused the treating physicians of malpractice, we further conclude that the trial court should appoint a new independent physician to examine and evaluate Mrs. Schiavos current condition. This physician should not be one of the doctors who has already provided testimony or an affidavit in this case and should be independent of those physicians and without any prior involvement with this family. If possible, this new physician should be very experienced in the treatment of brain damage and in the diagnosis and treatment of persistent vegetative state. This new physician should be board-certified in neurology or neurosurgery. We instruct lead counsel in the trial court for both parties to locate and agree upon the selection of this new physician. In the event that counsel are unable to stipulate to the selection of a new physician for the purposes of this independent examination, the trial court shall make the selection.
'Once the Schindlers and Mr. Schiavo have each designated their two physicians and the independent physician has been selected, the physicians shall have the opportunity to examine Mrs. Schiavo. The court shall authorize the expenditure and payment of the reasonable fees of the independent physician appointed by the court and all reasonable diagnostic tests. We anticipate that the physicians will want to obtain current EEG readings as well as brain scans performed using current technology. They may need to obtain diagnostic results from the tests typically given at a general physical. In the event that the doctors disagree upon the necessary tests or the guardian objects to a test on grounds that it may be too invasive or harmful to Mrs. Schiavo, the trial court will need to resolve the dispute. We recommend to the trial court that all five designated physicians file written reports with the trial court, and that the court then schedule an evidentiary hearing to resolve this matter".
By the way- your reliance on the obvious typo "physical" instead of "general" really reveals ignorance on your part unless of course you really believe that a general physical includes "brain scans performed using current technology".
As to your quote that "Judge Greer will finally allow Terri to have a full medical examination in February 2002." please post your cite. If you do work for an attorney, he must do real estate closings, otherwise you would know that the appellate court ordered the medical exams and Greer was without power to ignore that court's order on remand.
Very good!
Your lack of intelligence and understanding has now been outed. Begone, troll.
I'm getting very confused here
there is no fictitious filing for Jerger & Centonze (here Michael is listed but not Jodi...different name)....there is a filing for John Centonze called 'Madd Cravings' (different address) and a listing for Madd Italian Deli with the same address listed for the business (different owner with his address).
I just looked him up in Who's Who, 2003 (his bio also appears in Who's Who in American Law, 7th ed & 11th ed). It mentions:
Chmn bd. dirs. Hospice of Fla. Suncoast, 96-98
Am.-Hellenic Ednl. Progressive Assn. (gov. 1986)
legal advisor Soc. for Right to Die, 1992
apparently there is more than one Felos since he is listed as ptnr. Felos & Felos
wife Constance M. Felos and 1 child Alexander James
Q. Fictitious business names are so confusing. Who needs one? A. In a prior question regarding business permits we mentioned the State of California has a website www.calgold.ca.gov which is easy to use and contains lots of useful information regarding permits and business names. However, although this site mentions who to contact for fictitious business name filings it is not clear on who needs to file for one. What seems like a simple question can be a little complicated. If you are using your name (for example - Jacobs and Gregory Auto Parts) you do not need to file a fictitious business name statement because you are actually using your name in the business. If you choose a name that implies there are other partners who are not named (for example - Jacobs & Daughters Auto Parts or Gregory and Associates Auto Parts) you DO need to file a fictitious business name statement. If Robert Smith were to buy Jacobs and Gregory Auto Parts and wants to keep using the name he would need to file a fictitious business name statement. If Robert Smith expanded the business to a neighboring county he would have to file a fictitious business name statement there in the new county as well....
Sorry, I messed that link up.
The damage to Terri's cerebral cortex is global and consists of dead tissue. That is not hearsay nor is it based upon hearsay evidence. The scans themselves are in evidence. You state that you work with children with "disabilities similar to Terri's". Your work with disabled children is admirable but how many do you work with that do not have a cerebral cortex? None. And how many patients do you know that have recovered from a global destruction of the cerebral cortex? Again, none.
As to your link to the Holocaust, no one is advocating anything even closely resembling that.
