Per Fox News...

If I had to choose, I would say you believe Terri should be euthanised.

Understand this. If I had to choose, I'd say your only prolonging her suffering.

[Theodore R.]

Thank you, and I am sorry about your aunt's feeding disorder. Of course, I was just being inquisitive, considering the reports that "all" of Schiavo's neighbors in that "nice" neighborhood say they support HIM.

[Theodore R.]

I have yet to find a supporter of Terri's imminent death to be informed even marginally about this whole fiasco.

[Theodore R.]

Many of the judges are just jealous that medicine pays higher salaries than being on the bench. Of course, the judges even the playing field with their lucrative retirements, of which the "common man" knows little.

[TAdams8591]

What a nightmare for your uncle and your family. It is terribly wrong he was treated that way.

Diabilities, illness and death are always difficult.

[jwalsh07]

She is being kept from a natural death by man's unnatural life support.

An unmitigated lie promulgated by an unrepentant liar. You know no more about life support than you do about frozen pipes.

[watchdog_writer]

I'm not sure if I understood your brief statement. But you seem to be saying that anyone who needs someone to render assistance to be fed should be left alone and starved to death. if that is your point then what about a person with no arms or legs. Do we just let them die if they can not feed themselves?

Experts say that if Terri were giving the proper medical care she would not only be able to feed herself but she would be able to speak. Then we would know for sure what her desire is about living.

According to her father the video seen on TV is 4 or more years old and sher condition today is much improved. The court has issued an order that she is not to be photographed or taken out of her room. Can someone tell us why the court would issue such an order, even if her adulterous husband wanted it that way?

Do you suppose that there is more to this story than her husband's greed. I keep thinking that this is the fist step in saving insurance companies billions of dollars in the future because they will not have to keep people in similar circumstances alive.

As you know the courts corrupt the common law and sometimes completely ignore their own precedents to reach an objective. I submit that courts are responding to economic pressures and are not interested in Terri at all.

"Already attempted and rejected by his Honor George W. "Haman" Greer."

AMAZING!

Yet, her estranged with numerous conflicts of interest remains her spokes person. That's flagrant disregard of Terri's rights.

[Future Useless Eater]

did you see this?

[ArmyTeach]

You are absolutely right. Your point supports mine. But in all the years that she has been left to vegetate and atrophy (medical negligence), her nurses have been forbidden to make any attempt to find out is she can swallow. So there is no basis for MS and Felos to claim that she can not swallow. I BET SHE CAN!

[nmh]

"It's amazing the courts through hearsay regarding one passing comment, extrapolation and conjecture could determine that Terri would want to be/should be STARVED TO DEATH but REFUSE to use the same standards and methods to determine Terri would want to be/should be DIVORCED."

I agree. You articulated it for me.

What's in it for this judge to be so heartless and cruel?

$$$$ ???

[TAdams8591]

" I would rather not be a burden on my parents and society in general. It's just a matter of putting things into perspective."

That's what you say looking at it from your current perspective. If you were in Terri's shoes (and I don't know anyone who would choose to be in Terri's shoes), you might see it differently.

Few, if any people who have come out of coma's or who have been rehabilitated after serious injury, ever say they wanted to be dead either while they were injured, or after they recovered. Most people have a remarkable will to survive. I suspect you would be no different, despite what you say now.

[Theodore R.]

Yea, even Dickens could not have created a carciature of a fictional judge as cruel and heartless as George W. "Haman" Greer.

[MarilynBr]

You said, "To me, she is already dead."
That's exactly the root of Michael's problem, too. He thinks that as well. But just because he can't accept the way Terri has changed does not mean she is dead. She shouldn't have to die just because Michael can't accept that there is more than one way that Terri can be Terri. If he can't accept the woman that is, then let him get a divorce. Michael is very immature if he thinks the only solution to his problem is to kill Terri.

21 days isn't quite the same as the rest of her life. That would really be swell.

We are trying to put together a thread that contains all the Petitions out there to Save Terri or to Impeach Judge Greer.

If anyone wants to be on "ohioanfromflorida's ping list, let her know.

[Theodore R.]

It would seem that no matter how many names are put on a petition calling for Greer's impeachment that the weak-kneed legislature would still be too fearful to act. But we have to try that route too.

[Freepertwo]

I think you got me wrong. I'm pro-Terri all the way. That's okay, I did it to someone else tonight by accident!!

[Theodore R.]

Most people have a remarkable will to survive. I suspect you would be no different, despite what you say now.

This could be the 11th Commandment: forget the one about not speaking ill of another Republican, such as George W. "Haman" Greer!

[floriduh voter]

Terri has so many freepers near Terri and we are very busy in many areas. The huge demonstrations are coming. We are on the news every night, every day. This is getting maximum coverage. Trust me. We are doing everything we can and then some. Please visit the web site in my tag line. THEY are also doing everything they can. We have corruption here. It's hard to knock it down but we have a great team.

[BigSkyFreeper]

I think the lesson to be learned from all of this is to "get it in writing"!
