For those who haven't followed the case, and want some info, go to Terri's Fight
Question: Can President Bush write and sign an Executive Order keeping her alive?
You can symbolically light a candle for Terri at this site if anyone is so inclined:

I cannot understand the heartless people who want Terri Schiavo to be starved to death.
There are laws against starving animals, but this court is ordering a disabled woman to be murdered.
I wonder how long Mike and the judge would last with out food and water
I don't feel like feeding is being kept alive artificialy.
With out water they would also die. It is beyond me how two sleazy men can ho;d up a whole state and/or/nation all by them selves. Many thing are wrong with this country.
This is a sad case, pitting husband against parents.
However, things like this happen in hospitals all the time, as technology keep people alive longer and longer.
Mary Schindler, who rarely addresses the news media, emerged from the hospice around lunchtime to say that Ms. Schiavo "is my life."
"I am begging Governor Bush and the politicians in Tallahassee, President Bush and the politicians in Washington, please, please, please save my little girl," she said.
Will you love her, comfort her, honor and keep her, in sickness and in health, for richer, for poorer, for better, for worse, in sadness and in joy, to cherish and continually bestow upon her your hearts deepest devotion, forsaking all others, keep yourself only unto her as long as you both shall live?
There are only 30 protestors? On the first full day her feeding tube was pulled.
Yes, of course, Governor Bush should go and visit Terri. I'm sure he'll enjoy seeing her BEING STARVED TO DEATH!!! Jeb Bush, you better get off your butt and DO SOMETHING!!!!!!!!
On another thread it's being reported that the Senators have decided to scrap all the old evidence and retry. I guess procedure is called de novo.
Bet the Times writer was giggling as he typed that one!
After she had her final stroke, she was unconscious, and my sisters and I sat with her until she died, which was a week after the stroke. About 24 hours before she died, she started to moan with each exhallation. A nurse came in and put a pain patch on her, and the moaning ceased after about an hour. She died early the next morning. This was what my mom wanted so we acceded to her wish. However, she clearly dehydrated over the last week, and it was NOT painless. I was there, and I know.
