TAMPA, Fla. (AP) -- A state appeals court has refused to block the expected removal of Terri Schiavo's feeding tube on Friday.
In my last post I meant to say for Terri to go home
and live with HER parents.
Sorry.
pc93 - is THIS for real?????
There is no proof of abuse or neglect.
Obviously, you're never going to bother to read today's opinion.
The rest of people will realize that the Florida Constitution trumps any statutes passed by the Legislature. By case law, since Browning (1989), removal of feeding tubes have been legal in Florida.
Yes, Florida statutes were updated after Browning to reflect the law of the land. Nevertheless, since 1989 it has been legal in Florida to remove feeding tubes.
Cold.
When are you gonna get it? No one's opinion matters. Rights are what matter, and they aren't of opinion. I'll ask you one more time so you can dodge again: By What Right?
I'm curious, have you followed the facts in this case? Maybe I've been too hard on you. Are you aware that the media BS you get about her being a vegetable is just that - BS? Terri can speak simple words, can follow objects, can recognized and respond to loved ones, can follow simple orders ("Open your eyes, Terri").
What IQ threshold would you set for people to be allowed to live? 70? 50? We have no idea what is going on in Terri's world, what pain she feels, what pleasure, what rudimentary thoughts. Perhaps her existance is very much like a little baby's. I understand, with (albeit declining) acceptance of abortion on demand, the temptation to set "degrees" of humanness - so we can comfort ourselves in the lie that "it isn't murder." But what do they feel? And what happens, historically, when we replace a logical criteria for humanness with a scalar one, like "brain activity"?
I dunno. I hope she makes it a lot longer than that.
Don't try to use logic on these threads. It doesn't work. I have tried it, and it just makes them mad.
Off the top of my head, I don't recall if that issue has been litigated up in higher courts. Maybe someone else will pipe in and give you the correct answer.
OK, as you look at this thread, go to either the top or the bottom (it doesn't matter which) and look at the center of the page. You should see where it says "Pings*Mail". click on the "Pings" for your ping page, and click on the "Mail" to get your FReepmail. Good luck!
No, the whole point of the massive protests is that
although it has been before the court...THE RECORDS SHOW THAT THE COURT HAS NEVER CONSIDERED ANYTHING.
THE RECORDS SHOW THAT THE COURT REFUSES TO HEAR ANY MOTIONS BROUGHT BEFORE IT EXCEPT THOSE BY NAZI FELOS.
Damn! I read thru it too fast. If only . . . sigh!
Again, because you can't read.
The higher courts refuse to hear it. They refuse to step on Greer's toes.
Greer is the devil.
ORECON, you are a waste of time and space here.
Seek life elsewhere.
Logic dictates that since we cannot see God, He doesn't exist. Do you agree or disagree with this statement?
"Who is your mortal enemy?"
I don't think you got the essence of my post. I'm afraid I cannot elaborate much further on this public forum. Were we face-to-face, where we could have a free and open exchange of ideas, I would be able to explain further.
But, as an example of my mortal enemy, I can categorically say that Usama bin Laden is one such enemy.
I have been trying and trying to use logic with you on this very thread. Yet, you still manage to deny it.
Thank you.
WHOAAAA! I did it, and there's a whole lotta stuff there! Thanks a bunch. I keep learning something every day!
