Electrical stimulation therapy
restores swallowing ability
.
So why KILL her?
  • Get her therapy
  • Get her OFF 'the tube'
  • Send her home with the Schindlers
  • Let Michael marry his fiance.

Judge Greer cited "news sources" that Sara Scantlin could BLINK her eyes on command so she was not in PVS. Father Pavone witnessed Terri's condition just one month ago [jump ahead to the 17 min mark] and he said:
  • She was very responsive.
  • She prayed with him, closed her eyes during the prayer, and opened them back up when done.
  • Mister Schindler kissed her and she kissed him back!

Documented Terri-vocabulary references
Words Witness
"mommy"
"momma"
"help me"
nurse - Heidi Law, certified nurse assistant
"pai[n]"     (meaning 'pain'
                when she was in discomfort)
'Haaaiiiii'   (meaning Hi,
                in response to 'Hi Terri') 'mommy'
'help me'
Nurse - Carla Sauer Iyer, R.N.

"'Help me' was, in fact, one of her most frequent
utterances. I heard her say it hundreds of times."

                procedure being done on her)
Terri's MediPlex records

"approved visitor's list" permanently!

That's a great post about Terri, with words she has spoken and all the other infortmation it shows it is NOT about "right to die" at all. It's about the right to live.

I hope everybody in the FL and US legislature has copies of what you have posted here. I wish every news organization could see it too, but they are too lazy to look at it. Maybe if a million copies could be handed out to people in Florida, then they would "get it"?
