Tell the Truth!
by Pete WinnA note to the news media: Stop lying about Terri Schiavo!
I have a message for the media: Stop, already! Just stop it!!Stop saying that Terri Schiavo is "a brain-dead woman being kept alive solely on life support." She is not. She's a disabled Florida woman, who is now being murdered by medical personnel who have removed her feeding tube.
Aaarghh!!! Tell the truth! Stop saying this is about her right to die. Watch closely at the words coming out of this keyboard: T-E-L-L T-H-E T-R-U-T-H.
Terri Schiavo is not at all comatose. She is not at all on life support. She does not have a breathing tube or a respirator. She simply has been receiving her food and water — something everyone in existence needs to survive — through a tube.
What's more, though she is disabled, she probably could eat by herself — it's just too much trouble for hospital personnel to try to feed her by hand.
That's the key element here: Terri is inconvenient. She's especially inconvenient to her husband, Michael, for several reasons — not the least of which is that he's living with another woman and has children by her. Can anyone seriously trust he is operating in her best interest?
Tell the truth. The case of Terri Schiavo doesn't represent the right to die. It represents the right to live.
When murderers are sentenced to death, it comes as a result of a jury or judge passing sentence on a defendant who is sitting before them. One who has had the right to make a defense, to call witnesses and to testify for themselves, if they so choose.
But Terri Schiavo, this woman who has been incapacitated for more than a decade, has never had the right to do any of that. What's more, Judge George W. Greer, the Florida judge who seems bent on ending her life — who has more than once ordered her food and water removed — has never even seen Terri Schiavo in person.
Never seen her in person! It is inconceivable that a judge would pass judgment on a felon without ever having seen the defendant.
But then, that's the point, isn't it? If I am to believe the mainstream media — either this is about Terri's "right to die" or she, in some sense, deserves to die. After all, she's got no "quality of life," right?
Wrong. Terri is not a criminal defendant. She committed no crime. She is innocent. Her sole "crime" — and I say that with all the irony I can muster — is that she is disabled.
If anything, this case is about the rights of the disabled.
Make no mistake, "quality of life" and comfort are not the prime considerations for living, any more than parenting is about spending "quality time" with kids. Forget quality time. If you don't spend "quantity time" with children, that's when they appear to suffer, if we are to believe the research. And if a disabled person is going to be killed because he or she is "inconvenient," let's stop talking about his or her quality of life. The quality of life while being starved and dehydrated to death is nonexistent.
Let's talk about the death process for Terri if her feeding tube is not reinserted. After three or four days, she will have lost weight and will have begun to lose normal body secretions. Her mouth will begin to look dry and her eyes will appear sunken. She will look thinner because her body tissues will have lost fluid. Her heart rate will gradually go up, and her blood pressure will gradually go down.
Five to 10 days from now, her alertness will decrease markedly. Breathing will become irregular with periods of very fast and then very slow breathing.
From day 10 until death — first coma, then kidney function will decline and toxins will begin accumulating in her body. Those toxins will cause her respiratory muscles to fail. Then multiple organ systems will begin to fail from lack of nutrition.
Then, and only then, she will die.
Sure. You're right, mainstream media. That's exactly what Terri has a "right" to. That's exactly what she would have wanted.
Excuse me while I vomit.

Very nice observation!!!
Their real point is it will all be over in two weeks and of course, once dead, the person will not be complaining. Same serenity achieved by all murdered people.
You can get jail time for doing this to a dog.
I think we ought to "test" all those who actually believe this method and see how long they stick with this philosophy?
And the reason they administer drugs to patients who are dying peacefully of starvation and dehydration is why?
I havent seen the so-called mainstream media report the stories of people who have been to the brink of death but then recovered. At least one woman who was thought to be brain dead, and was cut off from food and water, reported after the got better that the experience was agonizing. Let's see her interviewed by ABC or the NY Slimes.
Sure. Everyone who says it's a pleasant death should fast for a week. Every single one.
If any one fails to do so, then their conclusion is invalidated.

Good question. And I have the fear that one of those shots is going to be the double dose to kill her, so this can get off the front page so the sheeple can get back to the vital business of getting steroids out of baseball.
Because the best definition of a liberal I have heard is someone who believes that Mumia should live, but that Terri Schiavo should die.
And if it's peaceful, it must be an acceptable thing to do to somebody.
Fools.
Well I guess I complicated the hell outa my father's death from kidney failure then. When my father was thirsty, I gave him water. He died hydrated with a full belly.
I'm so happy that the lametream media is becoming more and more irrelevant every day.
So is lethal injecton, but the left love to harp on how cruel that is.
I'm investing in a new 24 hr. TV channel broadcasting from Africa showing the children starving peacefully to death. We'll pipe in some new world easy, gentle music, get a cup of coffee, and sit on the couch and get that peaceful, easy feeling. It ought to be quite a relaxing way to start the day.
