"When religious families hear from hospice that their loved one is in the "dying process" and that "food and fluids" will henceforth not "benefit" him at all and only cause "discomfort," this is very intimidating. Families who wouldn't dream of deliberately starving their loved one may not object to the discontinuation of his food and fluids."

Sad but effective manipulation technique. It is abhorrent and disgusting! Believe me, I learned long ago not to necessarily trust the medical staff and their advice. Furthermore, they are frequently far to condescending for my taste. Families should weigh and investigate everything carefully and remember they are advocates for their loved ones!

And NEVER CHECK ORGAN DONOR on your driver's license. You might be certified to be dead so they can do an expensive transplant operation with your parts.

It used to seem like a nice gesture but medical prostitutes are GETTING TOO GREEDY. Why save somebody who may have recovered if they can make more bucks harvesting?

"And NEVER CHECK ORGAN DONOR on your driver's license."

I have to tell you I never, ever thought THAT was a good idea.

SEARCH UNDER "FEEDING TUBE" at the National Council on Disabilities web site:

IF THERE ARE ANY POSITION PAPERS IN THERE, maybe they will have to help Terri. Worth a shot.

These are the cats that Michael Schiavo had euthanized shortly after Terri's mysterious collapse. Instead of giving the cats to Terri's family, he had them put to death in the same manner that he is seeking Terri's death.

What cats? I don't see any cats.

[floriduh voter]

I SEE THEM NOW. WHERE'S PETA? What beautiful cats. They didn't deserve a serial killing.

This photo of Terri was taken in 1993. Shortly after Michael won over $1 million dollars in 1992 in a malpractice lawsuit, he ordered the nurses to stop treating Terri for infections and ordered that Terri not receive any physical therapy.

Let me begin by saying that I LOVE animals.....always have from 3 to 5 cats and dogs until they die from old age. They are part of the family.

But....MS at least didn't starve the poor cats to death as he wants to do to his wife. He might have gone to jail for that.

When the 11 a.m. time for prayer for Terri approaches, I call the closest cat in view to snuggle with me while I pray. My heart breaks each time for this mother's child, knowing that she so enjoyed the company of her furry friends. May the Lord grant her this pleasure again ...
