Just heard on Fox that U.S. Senate will convene today in emergency session regarding Terri Schiavo.
"I am saying that in the end I do not wish to have someone other than my husband making decisions for me."
Is he Terri's "husband" since he is engaged to another woman since 1996 and has two children with her?
If your husband did that to you, would you still want him as your guardian?
If your husband's anger is documented, if you have fractures found which fit abuse cases, if there is high suspicion of your husband, and yet the claims of your abuse are not investigated, would you still want him making your decisions?
If your husband gets a 1 million dollar malpractice suit, and then does not spend it on your care, would you still want your husband to be making decisions for you?
If your husband refused your parents and friends visits, if he kept you inside your room for years, without allowing you to even be in the sunshine just for the last 3-5 years...would you want your husband making your decisions?
That's right. That is exactly what it is.
wanta bet the mercedes is in the girlfriends name.

The decision to end Ms. Shiavo's life is not for any man, woman, or judge on earth to make.
The Nazis perfected "mercy killing" into an efficient system in the early years of Hitler's regime. Many of the misfits of society and the mentally disabled were taken away from families under false pretenses and simply disappeared.
Now that efficiency in it's infant stage has been imported into our society. If a state judge can order the death of a woman who has not been convicted of a capital crime and poses no threat to society whatsoever, how long before they come for the retarded child, or the disfigured, or any other type of imperfect specimens of humanity?
After all, by the reasoning of so many on this board those people are expensive to maintain alive and are inconvenient to someone somewhere, and apparently that is the greatest crime a person can commit in this hedonistic, self-absorbed culture of today.
God help us, please.
I can't laugh, but I just I did and if it weren't for a sense of humor, who knows where I would be. God gave me a sense of humor!
Heh! Okay, I guess.
LOL...I know this thread is not funny. But that remark made me laugh.
You sure you want to keep that post number?

He loves her dearly and wants her to die with bad breath. I dont know, he is a pig, a total pig.
Apparently not all people.
This is a problem that I have with these Terri threads. If you disagree on something in the slightest you are labeled "pro-death" and "part of the death squad". You're not doing much for your cause with "propaganda" like that!
Bump for the stark truth.
I had called the NOW headquarters a few days ago to ask them their position on Terri. They told me they thought it was a serious matter but decided not to take a position on it. What a bunch of morons. I told them I thought it was pretty stupid of them considering it may have been domestic violence on the part of the husband that placed her in that condition. They had no answer.
If you are going to take that view, then you will have to agree that even when someone makes a living will stating they do not wish to live as Terri does, that will is not valid, and the govt. should step in, because the act of complying with the wishes is "Nazi murder." Will you go there??
There are some pro-death people here, IMO. You, of course, are free to disagree.
Boo!
Senate about to gavel in...............
These are all good points-that argue that Michael Schiavo should be arrested and charged with attempted murder.
They do not argue that the legal presumption that the spouse is the correct decision maker in cases like this should be overturned.
Why do you suppose the State of Florida has not arrested and charged Michael Schiavo?
Yea..and a lot of them enjoy being alive too.
No one knows if they will enjoy being alive in a brain damaged state until it happens.
If there is no statement (written) from Terri herself that she wants to live or die..I would say just take a look at the smile on her face. That should be enough.
Cut off the so called husbands rights for ignoring this obvious fact and let her "loved" ones care for her.
They had testimony from friends and relatives in addition to his.
The court could not rule any other way. The testimony held up under every attempt to impeach it.
