Here's a way Jeb Bush may be able to save Terry Schiavo: Open an investigation into the possible assault that led to her comatose condition. Have the state pay for her maintenance to "preserve the evidence" and pay for language therapy for her so she can tell us what she knows about how she got into the coma. It struck me that the reason her husband wants her dead might be because he's afraid of what she'll say if she recovers. I don't see how a judge could possibly deny the state the right to preserve evidence of a serious assault.
Hope she's not dead yet.
Her parents have offered to do so at no charge to taxpayers or anyone else.
Not that it's particularly expensive if the labor's free (which, in the case of the retired parents, it would be).
I'm asking the compassionate people here on FR.
The parents are getting old, frankly. Has anyone here cared for, for years, a person in a vegetative state, or comatose, or someone who can't care for themselves?
I would...
NO DOUBT! I WOULD!
I would...
NO DOUBT! I WOULD!
It's easier than caring for a 2-year-old.
I wouldn't. Unless it was my own family member. I do think you shoudl call the judge and volunteer, though.
Yes-- I have three children....
change diapers, wipe noses,
change clothes... cook every meal, etc,
I have also cared for my best friends mother (who had a stroke) for almost 3 years,....
she was awesome...
She would ask me what we were having for lunch, and then 2 minute later ask me again-- LOL!!
I never once lead on that she had already asked me that.... she couldn't help it-- there was no reason to make her feel bad.....
SHE is the reason I have come to realize how valuable each life is...
No matter how much I cared for her--I was the one blessed by taking care of her...
call me sappy- okay with me-- but I sure feel GREAT about it.
For a newbie, you're doing pretty well! Keep up the good work!
I wish someone would put your Free Republic membership out of its misery.
Interesting that Michael did not move Terri into the hospice, on the board of which Greer and Felos friends sit, until he teamed up with them.
Thank you.....
Are you even the slightest bit aware that Terri has a younger brother and sister who intend to help out? Her parents are aging, but my God, those two are full of life! Yes, I've met them! They are wonderful people!
Not to mention that there are some of us who actually would take Terri into our own homes if that suited her family. There is great honor in taking care of one such as Terri.
it is a VERY twisted road....
His live in girl friend use to work for Jeb Bush too....
They had an insurance agency and sold it I think.....
Terri's friend begged her not to stay at her house the very night that she "collapsed"
okay, I am a nerd-- I love to read and do research....
Of all the ways that you could possibly die, would you choose to be starved and dehydrated?
Please read Mark Levin's book, "Men in Black: How The Supreme Court is Destroying America."
Your question is irrelevant. It is a sacrifice Teri's entire family is willing to make.
I'd rather be burned at the stake.
"His live in girl friend use to work for Jeb Bush too...."
An interesting tidbit I didn't know. It is a small world.
Goodnight Terri prayer!
Bump.
Not sure where you read she worked for Jeb Bush... can you please reference that.
They had an Insurnace company..
Michael knew Jodi before he said he did in court.
