She's dead. There are a few ways to decide if someone is dead and and brain activity is one of them. On her EEG she has no activity and she is down to primitive reflexes where her brainstem is the only thing intact. She shouldn't necessarily be starved to death but instead taken off the feeding tube and given a morphine drip that is absolutely humane in this instance.

Where did you get that information? Time to put up or shut up. Cite a source or go away.

So I assume that if you are ill, you don't want very many tests done? I you have a brain injury, shall you withhold having a PET scan to determine the extent of your damage?

I would prefer to live in a country that allows me to make that decision for myself, wouldn't you?

Chris, you have zero facts and everyone knows it. You're making stuff up and arguing in bad faith. You're either an idiot or saying things you think are false just to bait people.

BYW, this Jay Wilson that the Dem Congresswoman is talking about is a prominant advocate of euthanasia. And she pronounces the word "autonomic" like it's the first time she saw it, because it likely is.

Then why can't Michael Schiavo let her parents take care of the body?
She is alive and you know it.

Hmmm, not starve her to death but put her on a morphine drip. Sorry, morphine is not nutrition thus she will still be starved to death.

The standard diagnostic tests for PVS are MRI and PET.which have been repeatedly denied to Terri.You don't know what you are talking about.
If the the 2 ghouls Schiavo and Felos were so sure of her status they would have had these tests done pronto. Why don't you listen and learn something,...perhaps you are brain impaired...

Now you advocate a humane morphine drip or as some would call it murder...

I think you'd personally like to throttle her, but to be humane you'd instead just hold a pillow over her face.


By the way, I didn't catch your resume. Where'd you go to Med school?

Well, which is it? Should she be starved to death or shouldn't she be starved to death? Either she is starved to death by being taken off the feeding tube, or she shouldn't be starved by being taken off the feeding tube.
