Vital?? No. Responsive? Only the way a tree responds to the wind. Smiles and recognition? A bold faced lie. Her brain is filled with cerebral fluid. Time for her to rest in peace and be with her Maker (that is, assuming he didn't take her 15 years ago).
Fox this morning had a clip of a couple with an 18-month old baby in a stroller outside Terri's hospice. The baby cannot currently swallow and is fed with a feeding tube similar to Terri's. The couple lifted his/her shirt to show the tube in the area of the belly-button. The picture of the child was heart-wrenching. They were there with there child to support Terri in her struggle.
Terri Ping!
We're on the road to government-sponsored euthanasia. Hospitals, doctors, and hospices are already practicing it.
Seems to me this is about a lot of things...but the wishes and best interests of Teri Schiavo ain't one of them.
To me it all seems a very simple solution,since her family wishes to take care of Terry and they find it in her best interest to keep her going,then it is not be such a big thing. Let Terry alone,let her Mom,dad, brother...take care of her, THEY LOVE HER DEEPLY ..boot the husband out,since he wishes nothing to do with her care anymore and let it go as that.Kind of like a bad marriage..only he the husband forgot in the vows he said, IN SICKNESS AND IN HEALTH!
Hail Mary for you Terry and those who love you. Put a scapular around her and let Mary, the Mother of God protect her!
It doesn't seem like it should take the wisdom of Solomon to figure out that if there are two competing claims for custody, the one that doesn't want to kill you is probably the one that has your best interests in mind. Just a wild guess on my part though.
Endangered tree frogs and sea turtles have more federal recourse to be 'heard' in the system than this disabled woman...where is the wisdom of Solomon?
The Democrats fighting this bill are showing their 'true' selves tonite....
Truly worth reading.
BTTT
How convenient to forget that the Conservative controlled Supreme Court ruled five times on the Terri Schiavo Case.
They too agree that Terri's soul should be allowed to finally be allowed to return to Heaven.
Why do you Conservative kooks insist on keeping Terri's soul trapped in Limbo???
Compassionate Liberals want to know!
