In a society steeped in moral relativism, "murder" is too harsh a word to handle.You are sooooo right. Call it something else and make it more acceptable. After all, who in their right mind would agree that it is a woman's right to murder her baby? But, it's a woman't right to abort a fetus! The deed is no different, but changing 2 little words makes it acceptable.
God help Terri. Someone has got to get her out of that hospice and out from under Michael's guardianship.

"Since when did the right to murder someone under the guise of a right to privacy outweigh the victim's right to life? " Since Roe v. Wade. And they made THAT a privacy issue as well. I guess where we're headed is that murder of certain people is just fine as long as it is done in private and the murderer is in some kind of relationship of authority over the victim. "But you honor, my wife wanted me to murder her. She was asking for it."

"Sometimes I think we've been given a bad rap over the years" Yeah well, we all have our share of corruption in our churches, not to mention those crazy aunts and ex-con uncles who insist on coming to the supper table. After all, the Baptists have Bill Clinton and Judge Greer. I am (or was) Episcoplian, and I don't have to tell you the absolute humiliation and apostasy we're facing right now. It comes down to this: true believers can be found in any church that preaches Christ crucified and resurrected, but Satan spends a lot of time in church winning converts too, so before the members of one Christian church go judging the members of another, they should look in their own closets and follow the directive of Jesus, "let he who is without sin cast the first stone."

I would think the biggest thing going against MS is that he waited an awful long time to 'remember' that Terri had said she would not not want to be kept alive. Gooooood point. Seems to me a great many people who are afraid of Michael, took their time reporting something favorable towards Terri, and this sham of a 'court' said: 'sorry, you waited too long'

Well I realize this really doesn't have anything to do with anything, but I bekeive it was you or nc that posted how strong willed Terri has been during all of this. Thatt her will to LIVE was so STRONG!!!! I just recieved this in my mail and felt it was very fitting.
Thought this was great! Enjoy
A strong woman works out every day to keep her body in shape?..but a woman of strength kneels in prayer to keep her soul in shape
A strong woman isn't afraid of anything?.but a woman of strength shows courage in the midst of her fear
A strong woman won't let anyone get the best of her?.but a woman of strength gives the best of her to everyone
A strong woman makes mistakes and avoids the same in the future?.a woman of strength realizes life's mistakes can also be God's blessings and capitalizes on them
A strong woman walks sure footedly?.but a woman of strength knows God will catch her when she falls
A strong woman wears the look of confidence on her face? but a woman of strength wears grace
A strong woman has faith that she is strong enough for the journey?.but a woman of strength has faith that it is in the journey that she will become strong!!!!!!!
To all the TRUE WOMEN OF STRENGTH on this board, and in this fight.

Email received from Paul Finch, Advocacy Center in Fla:
Re: Terri Schiavo
Thank you for your thoughtfulness and interest regarding Ms. Schiavo and the complex ethical issues that she represents. It benefits us all for people such as you to enter into the dialogue about disability issues.
Since the initial withdrawal of hydration and nourishment from Terri Schiavo on Wednesday October 15, 2003 The Advocacy Center has received numerous complaints of possible neglect concerning Ms. Schiavo. Additionally we have received reports that there may have been a change in circumstance regarding Ms. Schiavo's condition since the last full review in State Court.
It is The Advocacy Center's federal mandate (pursuant to 29 U.S.C. §794(a) (doc 1) and 42 U.S.C.§1504 3(a)(2)(B) as the designated Protection and Advocacy Agency for the State of Florida to investigate complaints of abuse and/or neglect against persons with disabilities.
The Center is presently making demands in order to acquire reports and records necessary to undertake a thorough and impartial investigation of complaints we have received.
In order to preserve the integrity of our investigation during its pendency no further statement will be made to the public/ Press.

Untermenschen -- Yes, "subhuman," anyone who wasn't of the Aryan Master Race, not just Jews. And yes, that's the thing of it, you've got to represent your intended victim as either less than human, or evil, or both. Otherwise, people will be people and will resist violations of moral law towards each other. Once you get them to hate -- then they are slaves and you can get them to commit the most heinous offenses. Once they hate, they will build Auschwitz.
To say "Terri's a turnip," or "in a PVS," or any such formulation is preparation for doing evil.

I'm hoping that no responses to this question means it's not true.
If she is nonresponsive (and frankly after what she went through with the six days of being dehydrated and starved, I'd be surprised if she's more responsive than she was before)--or "vegetative," there is no reasonable explanation for sedating her--period.

Beautiful letter, Magoo.
Since you are well versed in legal matters, I have a question. George Felos is perforce an officer of the court, is he not? You can say many things about Felos, but "stupid" is not one of them. I am certain that he knows his client is guilty of attempted murder. He has filed several motions specifically to cover it up (cremation, blocking the bone scan). He also knows that MS is lying about Terri's "wish" not to live that way. He's covered that up too, by twisting words. He knows further that Terri's condition does not fit the Florida definition of PVS required for killing a patient, but he has deliberately exaggerated her injury, ignored his client's cruel neglect of her and downplayed her chances of recovery. (He even helped himself to most of HER therapy money.)
It's ethical for an attorney to represent a man he knows to be guilty of a crime, of course. But it seems to me a different matter altogether for the lawyer to HIDE a crime (attempted murder) from the court, and to misrepresent plain facts in order, in effect, to FINISH the murder. That's going a long way past representing a scoundrel. That's being a knowing accessory to the crime.
Can you comment?

She is being visited regularly now by the GAL and possibly others. Could be they want to make sure she isn't responsive or, as someone else suggested, it could be that they want to get her addicted enough to create withdrawals were the meds stopped before administering tests to keep her behaviors from appearing deliberate or consistent. I don't know. Just guessing. See also #202.

A few days ago, Mr. S. said on tv that Terri was agitated.
