Pinging my Florida list here as well.Feeding Tube Being Removed: Greer Gives Order
Order states Congress can not override the ruling...looks like it's over .....
Wow. I'm speechless. That was fast. :^(
Please let me know if you want ON or OFF my General Interest ping list!. . .don't be shy.
How does that work? Greer has the power to starve a congressional witness to death?
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.
It seems the right to kill is stronger now than the right to live. What has happened to America?
