I'm amazed and disgusted at the ignorance of so many people. I was trying once again to explain Terri's condition at work yesterday yet every last one of the adults never could get off the PVS or coma or brain dead hoopla. There is hope because the teens I taught last year still ask me about Terri and are concerned. I was discussing it with one of them yesterday after school and several came up to hear the news. Teens can be airheads about many things, but they are not closed minded and cold hearted as adults apparently are.
I suggest you print out the Florida starvation and dehydration of persons with disabilities prevention act petition and have those kids sign it, then send it or fax it to FRTL, as they are capturing these for the FL senate
I am going to add this to the contact list:
Please not only call all of our Florida House Representatives, Senators, Congressman, Government Officials, etc. but we ask that you do the same in your own state asking your government representatives to contact the President, the U.S. Attorney General, and our representatives in Florida to intervene because Florida like all other states has adopted the United States Americans with Disabilities Act which expressly prohibits denying a substantially disabled patient in the United States of America nor permitting the authorization of any represenstiave or Guardian of an individual with a disability to decline food, water, medical treatment, or medical services for that individual pursuant to Title 42, U.S.C. Sections 12101 and Cf 28 CRF, Ch 1, Subpart B, Section 35.130. Call everyone please! Buy a phone card if necessary. Call now.
