Per Fox News...
As they said in Jaws, "We're gonna need a bigger boat".
Here's the answer:
HINO and the rest were telling the world anyone who was listening the coma PVA story. The videos you see of Terri
were smuggled out by her parents to show people the truth.
HINO was pissed to the max when he found out and he and Felos tried to get a court order to not show them based on Terri's right to privacy (bs) BUT, the parents were forbidden from that point on of taking ANY more tapes or pictures of her.
But the social services dept. needs 60 days to complete its investigation..........
I keep bringing this up, but Chris Reeve NEVER wanted to be kept alive with tubes, if he did not have use of his arms and legs.
He changed his mind when it happened.
No one ever heard Terri say she wanted to die. Mikie is the only one who says she did. Oh, and one of his relatives, 5 years after the "accident" also "remembered"....but her parents and her best friend remember Terri saying "where there is life, there is hope". She was a Catholic; and she would WISH to follow the Pope's teaching on this issue.
So, there is your answer. Terri would want to be kept alive. That is it.
Have you watched the movies of her? Have you heard from her family, which says, that to them, she is not dead? Is it perhaps possible that whether she is dead to them is slightly more important than whether she is dead to you (a person who does not know her, I assume)?
We are preventing her from releasing her body and joining God in Heaven.
Same is true of every nursing mother who nurses her baby.
Oh sure...the parents who have nothing to gain by her death, and the HINO who has everything to gain.
Hmmmmm.......
Worth reading.

It happens millions of times a day. Do you also think those people should have their feeding tubes removed?
Well, I'm not one of them. I don't know what Terri "wants" either way. I am for erring on the side of caution. The whole point is that nobody knows what Terri wants.
In such a context, it makes no sense whatsoever to kill her. "Since we don't know what she wants, let's go ahead & kill her." Absurd.
Her very existance today, is a testament to her will to live.
Her long life, after so many attempts to end it, gives rise to the doubt of the supposed reason that she "fell" into a coma 14 years ago. The argument was that she had so abused her body, that she just had a heart attack.
No heart problems in 14 years. Even after 14 days of starvation/dehydration! How does a person with so much "damage" from dieting, live this long? No antibiotics for infections....and yet this unhealthy woman collapsed when she was 26? Hinky.
Dude, just see a lawyer and write it down. This also makes it easier on your wife.
Christine was eventually dehydrated to death, in spite of being far more capable than Terri, btw, because her father did not want her to live her life in diapers.
When they did it, they had to hide her and put police guards around her. Public opinion was very hot at the time.
Christine was also on the cover of Time magazine.
Exactly! He is the only person who will benefit by not having Terri around any longer. He can marry his now live in mistress and enjoy his two kids with her without having to worry about Terri ever being able to explain what happened to her.
You didn't use the word itself, but anyone who defends Greer while stating that he is not making law from the bench (that's all he is doing) seems to be putting him on a pedestal.
I forgot to mention that HINO's belated recall about her so-called "wishes" should be viewed as a little suspect, espcially when Terri didn't put in writing and HINO is the ONLY person who seems to know this information...regardless of the girlfriend he had after the "accident" who gave deposition telling the opposite!
If no one leaves an advance directive in writing, the laws MUST err on the side of life.
That has no legal effect whatsoever. It's a pretend church rule and nobody cares about it except Catholics. It certainly doesn't create a state-recognized divorce.
Humble,
God have mercy on your soul. I hope you don't have children or ANYONE in your life that you would be allowed
to make this kind of decision for.
Exactly! I don't know what moron claims to have diagnosed that.
oh, you just settled it. everyone stop arguing and debating - tuckrdout has the answer (end sarcasm)
"where there is life, there is hope." hope for recovery? maybe. hope that the Amazon rainforest to rebound? that's possible. hope for democracy? could mean that too.
here to taking an ambiguous statement and injecting your own beliefs into it!
