I know what a feeding tube is up close and personal. But they are used for many other reasons that for those in the situation that Terri is in.

I feel that my husband trumps my Mother and he WILL speak for me. That is the most important aspect of this sad and heart wrenching situation.

I will tell you what: if Michael takes a lie detector test and passes, pull the plug.

But, when Larry King asked him about it last night, he refused to take a test.

Hmm, contested by whom?

I believe (don't remember the exact wording) it says immediate family and/or whatever PC word they are using for gay lover these days.

Ted Kennedy has just claimed he will fight this Senate attempt with all he's got his gut.

Right! And the girlfriend who wants a wedding also wants that property intact. Geeze.

Just a clarification: FL Statutes Ch 222, and the FL constitution, provide for one homestead property. 1/2 acre in a municipality and 120 acres outside a municipality.

Just one. Not all realestate owned.

Just a respectful clarification.

(also provides for $1000 personal property and $1000 equity in ONE vehicle ($2000 if married).

Where are all the feminists?
Well unfortunetly this has turned into an abortion-like debate. And when/if a women choses not to have an abortion, feminists will never applaud a "brave" decision. It's only when a women choses to abort a human that feminists love that women.
Thus the culture of death.

My worry is that by pumping her with enough morphine "for her pain" (which she doesn't have according to Felos), she will die sooner than later.. something similar happened to my father in a "rest home"...

Agreed. I believe family planning is making a killing off of killing.

I don't have an opinion on that one, either way.

I've read that the house is in Jodi's name, not Michaels. I understand that Michael has a Mercedes, that may be in his name though.

How hard did he fight for his handicapped, warehoused sister? Was she allowed to die a natural death? I'm presuming she was.

I don't think you are 'disagreeing with me.' Get yourself an advance directive for health care (a living will) AND also get a durable springing power of attorney for health care. Get all your wishes in writing.

If you think referring to a disabled person as a lot of drool wiping and ass cleaning is not degrading to that person, then yes, you are disagreeing with me. Too bad for you, on that count.

what's to stop him from ignoring this?

Greer is in contempt of congress. Congress could stop him and Gov Bush could stop him, too. SOMEONE BETTER STOP HIM SOON BEFORE TERRI IS DEAD!!

I must say, you are creative! To make this into a love story is priceless! Read the timeline of events in this case. Then tell me how much poor Michael has grieved. Again, thanks for the chuckle.

Or at least for the work of fiction...

Babies lean on people for nutrition too. So do quadriplegics and stroke victims and grannies everywhere.
