Feeding Tube Being Removed: Greer Gives Order

MSNBC

[My Favorite Headache]

Greer gives order

[Rutles4Ever]

What happened to the claim that she said she didn't want to die?

Was that BS?

[dandelion]

"She's not spoken a single word in 15 years, any noises she's made are likely from stomach gases."

Her NURSES disagree. They spoke under affidavit, and said she says words like "elp me" and "stop"...

[Terriergal]

So the brother of the husband's fiance is the "family spokesperson"?

Maybe Michael has promised him some of that insurance money.

[kcat]

Interesting...this really could be a blessing if it is true where I read a while ago that they were feeding her and her husband did not want to go to the expense so he wanted a feeding tube. If she can, in fact, eat a bit then who could possibly argue that she is "brain dead" or whatever reason they are using to kill her.

[ariamne]

oh no no no no, is this it? is there no other way?

[ariamne]

please is there any other recourse?

[Diva Betsy Ross]

more lies. Thanks for playing tho.

[cyborg]

Pray to God but it doesn't look good to me.

[Boardwalk]

Except the judge ruled that she can not be fed by mouth when the feeding tube was removed. How sick is that?

[amdgmary]

That was not BS. Attorney Barbara Weller told Terri this morning that her feeding tube will be removed. Barbara told the local media that Terri cried. Barbara told Terri that she needed to tell the world that she doesn't want to die. Terri told Barbara that she didn't want to die.

Barbara Weller told this to the media at hospice. Her statements were televised in the Tampa Bay area, but I havne't seen it on the wires yet.

I'm driving to hospice after I leave work.

[PhiKapMom]

Heaven forbid is right! State Judge just thumbed his nose at the Congress and people on here think it is okay! Makes me wonder!

[grassboots.org]

The machine tells you whether a patient is brain dead or not.

No such machine exists. Dead people can't be used to donate most organs (I think perhaps corneas are one of a few exceptions). Your heart must be beating and you must be breathing for organs to be useful. If they wait for even 2 minutes after those functions stop, the organs receive too much damage for a transplant.

[Kitty Mittens]

Be Comforted, Meanie Monster; this is Not Over Yet! Many are Working Behind the Scenes to Save our Terri! Love to you in God, my FRiend!

[Terriergal]

She's not spoken a single word in 15 years, any noises she's made are likely from stomach gases.

She has.

Oh maybe this woman didn't speak any words either:

"When I Woke Up..." (EERY parallel to Schiavo case)- meditation given at Terri Schiavo vigil

If we err on the side of caution the error should be on the side of LIFE not choice.

[Arthur Wildfire! March]

"Now the Congress can bring charges against the Judge."

Doesn't save Terri though. That's something for later, perhaps.

Hearing Rush. He talked about others who could be affected: Alzheimer patients, etc.

[oceanperch]

There is Justice beyond Men's actions.

Thank You Lord.

We are lifting Terri's fate up to you and Lord petitioning you to hear our prayers.

May those who support this pre meditated murder may the powers that be bring swift justice or may you see because YOUR BLIND!

[amdgmary]

John Centonze, brother of Micheal's concubine Jodi Centonze, is the official spokesperson for Michael.

[Terriergal]

Even the dim dems have to go along with that just in case they end up in power again (heaven forbid).

I dunno - Byrd seems to forget he invoked the nuclear option before.

[Mikecan1978]

All I am saying is that I think the problem here lies with the law.....not with the judge.
