This is an unprecedented session. The Congress is meeting to save one persons life (in real time).
The only reason the Democrats are agreeing to this is that they dont want to be known as the party that killed Terri.
This is American history happening before your eyes.
What are your credentials? Are you a neurologist?
I suggest that you go to the Congressional Record and read Senator (Doctor) Bill Frist's speech at the end of the day on Thursday. Then tell me about PVS.
Your sincere hope.
the law presumes do all in the absence of an advaced directive or facts to the contrary. (facts as in evidence.)
Perhaps a proper reform in FL is to make the standard beyond a reaonsalbe doubt NOT the present preponderance of the evidence.
Beauprez taling about his father.
Where there is life there is MEANING.
Normal human beings are worth more dead than alive... pads the voting rolls.
LOL
Christopher Shays just said that, "this body (Congress) has the ability to prevent every death which is occurring minute-by-minute around the globe, so why are we concentrating only on this one life (Terri Schiavo)?"
Shays is one of the most despicable human beings I have ever laid eyes on. He is considered by the DNC the "most vulnerable" GOP Congressman for 2006 and I truly hope that that scumbag finally gets retired. He may have sealed his fate tonight.
LOLROFL
Fake but accurate fan are you?
The case has been made.... The Republicans make it clear.. they want to protect her life.. the dims want to let her die....
Thank you God for showing us who we have in our Seats in Congress....
He's doing ok.
Enlighten me. What would those tests show you?
Chris,
I state flatly I would NOT want to live in the state Terri is in.
However, there is simply no evidence Terri would have wanted to die. All we have is her husband's claim, and just take a look at his mansion to see where all his settlement money went (by the way, the judge did not order him to account for his settlement funds like what is normally required.)
He didn't spend money on Terri once he got his settlement.....immediately after.....7 YEARS AFTER TERRI'S ACCIDENT AND AFTER MICHAEL FIRST CLAIMING HE WOULD DO EVERYTHING HE COULD FOR TERRI WITH NO MENTION OF HER DESIRE TO DIE......SUDDENLY HE CHANGES HIS MIND ONCE HE GETS THE DOUGH.
That is very suspicious. I don't trust Michael.
Not to mention affidavits of girlfriends, including one whom he started dating 1.5 years after Terri's accident, that say he was abusive toward them. This woman, Cindy Shook, says Michael even told her his wife never discussed wishes regarding removal of feeding tube or other similar medical issues.
Really is scarey when you stop to think about what might be happening in these so called hospice hospitals -- unlike any hospice I have ever heard of.
"Our rights comes from our Creator" "err on side of life" AMEN!
It's a big hindu epic about the fight between good and evil...two branches of the Bharatas go after it, and it's the biggest epic in length of them all

I've seen several people on this thread direct you to the information you have requested. Please read and quit requesting it again.
Why? It's not like they have to go to work tomorrow.
Interesting observation. I wonder if even they have family members in difficult situations or if they find it difficult to pass a death sentence on an innocent lady.
