Greer gives order
It was here too. It is no longer. It´s accepted that people may put an end on their lives, if they choose so. I approve this, although it´s a failure of the individual and the community and also a disgrace to God. But He understands that some can´t stand the pressure of daily life, I´m sure.
Here in California too. I'm also a potential organ donor.
The whole point is that Terri isn't brain dead.
Nice loaded question. Just because Terri is in vegetative state does not mean she lost her right to refuse medical treatment.
That's the whole issue here. The parents say they don't care about Terri's wishes. Even if Terri had a written directive asking to remove the tubes, her parents testified they will never listen to Terri's wishes.
The courts listened to the parents and their witnesses [or read transcripts of their testimony]. Then the courts listened to the husband and his witnesses [or read transcripts of their testimony]. Finally, the courts decided that there was "clear and convincing evidence" of Terri's wishes.
It's on. Do you have anybody with you (on the ground at Hospice) who is also on strike?
The order regarding Viaticum, besides being cruel and bizarre (only the tiniest fraction of the Host or the tiniest drop of the Precious Blood need be placed on her tongue), serves to preserve Michael Schiavo and George Felos' contention that Terri cannot receive anything by mouth. Of course, they have never permitted a swallowing test, so we just have to take their word for it. The last thing they want is the spectacle of Terri taking anything by mouth, as that might cause people to start wondering if Terri might just be able to eat.
From George Felos' standpoint, though, that should hardly make a difference: In Terri's '98 hearings, Felos infamously advocated what he called the "spoon test". The test of whether one is a person with a full right to life, he said, is whether he/she can raise a spoon to his lips unaided. If you have a relative who is paralyzed or otherwise unable to feed himself, watch out: In George Felos' world, they're fair game for his tender advocacy of their "right" to die.
If George Felos and Judge Greer get their way, Florida will be a very, very bad place in which to be unlucky enough to get sick, have a stroke, or become incompetent. Someone will be standing by, ready to relieve you of the burden of your existence.

>>Michael was emotional and crying, saying he wanted to put the situation behind him.
Does anyone still have any questions about this guy? Is the above clear enough for everyone?
I know we have checks and Balances but surely, a statue judge cannot over ride the congress
There are videos, go watch.
And if you have your way, nobody will listen to you. If Terri is not allowed to decide, you won't be either.
The feeding tube was removed. The wicked Judge Greer did not want Terri to die.

Hi, this is a rush and breaking from me and Floriduh Voter.
We got news on what happened to Terri. Terri said "I--want--to--live" and was heard from a policeman. They ushered out the Schindlers and the policeman now denies the story. They went ahead bent on continuing. Terri is talking, and she is being silenced!!!!
Time for action. I can do little, could be bumped any moment from the library computer. Please whoever needs to know this and can help now it the time to step in. Floriduh Voter is doing an incredible job in getting the word out but we need your help.
If I do not reply it is because I am being bumped off this access. Also this may be overtaken by events, but this just happened and I was privy to the info when it broke.
8mm
Keeping it bumped....
But. And this is a big one, Terri's situation is different.
She needs to be treated. She needs as much physical therapy as possible. She needs a chance. A chance she hasn't been given. That's a difference.
I'm going to have my living will amended. If I'm in a coma because of what might be foul play, I want to be treated aggressively for up to a year before the plug is pulled. I want a chance too.
If it's old age and a painful disease, no extraordinary measures, please. But that's not this circumstance. And everyone senses it.
There are too many unanswered questions here. Why didn't the husband get help for her when help would have mattered? Wouldn't most grieving husbands want to try something? He didn't give up after trying. He didn't try. If Terri really felt like he said, why didn't she sign a living will? Does the state default to no treatment, no help, and starvation death in cases of potential foul play?
Something stinks in this case, and we all feel it. The stench reaches to our souls. This doesn't feel like respect for a woman's wish to die peacefully, it feels like murder.
Pretty much everyone there is denying themselves now.
Pharaoh then pronounces that the Hebrew firstborn would be slain.
It may not be Passover for another month, but Easter is right around the corner. Purim too.
"Get me a beer, and clean the kitchen."
Odd.... I was wondering if you were already somebody's wife or not.
Hmmmm....
That straightforward approach of guys like you always seems to lead to a comfortable life with dogs or cats, or some non-opposite-gender relationship like that.
Have fun. Here kitty, kitty, kitty.
There is so much misinformation about Terri's case. I'm listening to a local radio progaram now and they are misinforming as I speak. They said the husband is remaried.
I would much prefer lethal injection or even be smothered!
