Nah, I can make my own judgements. But thanks for trying to think for me. You have all the sensitivity of oh, say, Felos & Co.
Bump
Do you know if it is true that Schiavo doesn't want her to be autopsied and that she's to be cremated?
no, i do not know,
I have not been following this story closely over the last years, I am praying for this young lady and her family,
This world makes me sick sometimes, and judges/lawyers always make me sick to my stomach.
If Michael divorces Terri, he has to let her trust fund go with her. Further more, a new guardian of Terri would question the bone scans, and broken bones in the scan. One doctor said the only time he had seen these bones broken was due to strangulation. Michael has already paid for Terri's creamation [paid from Terri's trust fund] and the judge says there will be no autopsy.
And FL finds a way to reduce its pesky overpopulation problem.
Terri's quality of life could have been improved greatly if her HINO hadn't deprived her of basic human rights.
Her quality of life could still be improved if those monsters would let go of her. They want to get rid of evidence (Terri) and it's so darn obvious!!!
If Terri dies, they win. If she lives, they lose.
To whom are you referring?
I know very well that there is evidence that Michael Schiavo is not acting in his wife's best interest, and that he has means, motive, and opportunity to cause her death.
THIS IS A CRIME IN FLORIDA.
The existing law, and existing law enforcement machinery in Florida, is all, that is required to deal with attempted murder.
That the State does not do so means either that the Governor and his subordinates are inadequate and should be replaced by the people, or that the attempted murder interpretation of the fact set is wrong.
In either case, a legislative intervention that subjects what goes on between you and your father with Alzheimer's disease or your mother after her stroke to the intervention of a congressman from the other side of the nation is a disaster, and should never be supported by anyone here.
If the government of Florida is so incompetent that it allows Michael Schiavo to get away with murder, that's a tragedy, but the damage is limited to the death of Mrs. Schiavo.
If the government of the United States changes the law so that every single one of the hundreds of daily feeding tube removals in the nation is subject to Federal intervention, the damage will be enormous.
Dr. William Burke, a neurologist in St. Louis describes the process: "A conscious person would feel it [dehydration] just as you and I would. They will go into seizures. Their skin cracks, their tongue cracks, their lips crack. They may have nosebleeds because of the drying of the mucous membranes, and heaving and vomiting might ensue because of the drying out of the stomach lining . . . death by dehydration takes 10 to 14 days. It is an extremely agonizing death." -- Arnold Ahlert, Feb. 26, 2005, http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-bloggers/1351701/posts
//and the judge says there will be no autopsy.//
A judge does not have the authority to overrule the coroner. Perhaps we should write to the coroner?
Great graphics!
It might be worth a try...however Michael says this is what Terri wanted because she was afraid of bugs and I believe the judge ruled that the guardians wishes would be granted on the no autopsy too.
This judge has slapped Washington D.C....I can't believe they're standing for this

Perhaps, but I looked up the statutes and distinctly remember that a coroner's demand for an autopsy cannot be denied by a family or a judge.
Good addition to my list.
