Just heard on Fox that U.S. Senate will convene today in emergency session regarding Terri Schiavo.
The Jews were done away with because someone didn't believe them to be worthy of life. Here's a man who believes the same, even though his wife is alive and responsive.
Pretty apt example.
You are very disrespectful to me. I asked a question.
and you talk about you after insulting me.
Michael can avoid that duty without killing her. Terri's parents, who actually do love her, have offered to take care of her, and have even attempted to have a court impose this outcome, but Michael will have none of it.
For Michael to be satisfied, Terri must die.
Good post and big heart, cajungirl. God forbid any of us here on FR ever end up in Terri's position, but if we do, Lord grant us a worthy advocate, not someone like this guy. I do have to say though, that this has forced me to think about getting a living will together for myself.
Actually an offer of $1 million was made by a wealthy CA businesman represented by Gloria Aldred
I don't doubt that. A guardian appointed by the court is required to file annual financial statements. A simple review of the required statements would appropriatly settle that issue.
Oh! I am so sorry! That was Jim King, not Steve King - thank you for correcting me!!
I don't think he'll settle for anything less now.
Here's the business model. We know that the population of American seniors is increasing exponentially.
We know that entrepreneurs well aware of this fact have been planning their responses for a long time.
We know that many Americans find their older relatives an inconvenience.
If we make killing the incapacitated somehow acceptable, investors in a new wave of "compassionate euthanasia parlors" will make an awful lot of money.
Even more than you can make selling swampland, which Messrs. Greer and Felos are both quite familiar with.
Let us also not forget that when you have extended families you end up taking care of your parents that way. It is the ways of life.
"He doesn't have to. The Schindlers have offered to."
But isn't it his position that she would have not to have stayed alive by feeding tubes? That's why he's got custody.
I think the fact that Senator FRist is a medical doctor and there are several doctors in the House---it is obvious that they would take this stance--
It has been written here "First do no harm"---
Frist was VERY deliberative Thursday night late and said that he thinks Terri is on a higher plain of consciousness than PVS, which makes it more imperative that she has more tests and some therapy to really diagnose her possible improvement--
BUT, even if she doesn't "improve", she is a worthwhile human that deserves to be loved by her family---
Now that's an interesting statement. I don't know whether to laugh or cry............
Care to give us your medical credentials?
As a medical professional I care for many ANGELS with less OBVIOUS brain damage then Terri...they do have a soul and a reason for living even if it does not meet with your standards.
Sometimes all it takes to live a good life is for someone to just love you the way you are dispite your medical dianosis. Terri has that.
Now go have lunch.
If I'm mistaken I'm sure someone will correct me....
Michael, with Judge Greers blessing, hasn't been required to file anything.
That one I was aware of.
I agree.
I see nothing wrong with her so called husband letting her parents care for her. He's already on with his life ... tow kids and malpractice money.
Frist better be praying for a friendly federal judge.
Federal Judges do not screw with discovery requirements...
Assuming Discovery is allowed this should get real interesting.
