Just heard on Fox....so sad.

[Netizen]

(Modernman wasn't asking the question because he wanted to know what I thought. His question was designed to entrap)

Didn't work, did it?

;)

[ohioWfan]

Nope.

Those of us who were created are brighter than those who evolved think we are. ;o)

[Badray]

I only wish that I could say what you say so well.

Would that I could appoint you as Terri's guardian. She would be well served.

[GVnana]

the ‘rule of law’ in our republic has found itself surreptitiously transformed into a spiderweb of irrational ‘legalities’ that no longer have any foundation in ‘justice’.

Amen.

[Otta B Sleepin]

Those of us who were created are brighter than those who evolved think we are

Now, THAT's a tagline, if I ever heard one. Well-said, oWf!

[tomkat]

We also control the Mod branch. Adios.

FOFLMAO !

[Gondring]

It's The Empire Journal. I think they are allowed to make up "facts"....or else the Schindler crowd is.

[Gondring]

Sheesh...didn't think I'd need a sarcasm tag with *that* post!

[FairOpinion]

"One of these exceptions, IIRC, deals with a situation where the person who made the original statement is no longer available to testify."


Nobody asked Terri and she was and is alive.

Not to mention, that MS's hearsay evidence has been contridicted by others, and that MS suddenly "remembered" this after several years and after he got the over $1M settlement.

Is that the one who had no medical experience?

Do you have medical experience? Have an opinion on this?

[Brytani]

I did not know they were only married for 5 months when this happened.

As for the Church, I do not know why the marriage can not be annuled. Even if the Church does so, it has absolutely no legal standing.

[ohioWfan]

You know, you're right about that, Otta.

I think I'll change mine. :o)

[Mo1]

Do you have medical experience? Have an opinion on this?

What does that have anything to do with this?

I have lots of opinions

But the Court didn't ask me

[FBD]

Would you help us laymen?
Can a person with this type of brain damage feel pain, and other stimuli? This death by dehydration seems terribly cruel to me, and sounds very painful.

Thanks.

"Dont worry she doesnt. She is unaware of herself or what is going on around her."

Ah, I see you have been reading the news..... avoiding the actual facts of this case.

[marron]

"[N]either the wisest constitution nor the wisest laws will secure the liberty and happiness of a people whose manners are universally corrupt. He therefore is the truest friend of the liberty of his country who tries most to promote its virtue, and who, so far as his power and influence extend, will not suffer a man to be chosen onto any office of power and trust who is not a wise and virtuous man." Samuel Adams

Only too true.

[Gondring]

Just asking. Like you were asking about the guardian ad litem.

[Polybius]

Would you help us laymen? Can a person with this type of brain damage feel pain, and other stimuli? This death by dehydration seems terribly cruel to me, and sounds very painful.

Well, first of all, I have absolutely no idea what "this type of brain damage" is since the Michael Schiavo side seems to have done everything they could to prevent the complete workup that would be done if exactly the same type of patient named "Jane Doe" presented to a Neurology Department at St. Elsewhere Medical Center in the year 2005.

That is what bothers me about this case.

Here we have Judge Greer, a Probate Judge who has a mindset that tells him that a dead body is part of his job and would not know his own caudate nucleus from his dentate line if his own life depended on it making decisions based on what, in the year 2005, would be considered ancient medical data.

Terri Schiavo could have cortical functions and some degree of consciousness for all I know.

Terri Schiavo could be nothing more than a brain stem giving marching orders to her vital organs for all I know.

I have no idea.

All I know is that Judge Greer and Michael Schiavo are dead set (no pun intended) in making sure that Terri Schiavo does not get assessed with year 2005 technology and therapy trial.

In regards to death by dehydration, I have seen it often in elderly patients and the current medical conventional wisdom says that the patient feels nothing. Then again, no patient has come back from the grave to give me a report.

For me, personally, it gives me the creeps and I have told my family that if it ever gets to that point that they should "accidentally" turn up the morphine drip and let me go fast as I do not want to take the chance that my last ten days will be spent in a twilight sleep with a sensation of raging thirst.

Thank you for posting, and for the follow up explanation.

Pining Landru to Polybius' excellant, very informative post:

>"... the Michael Schiavo side seems to have done everything they could to prevent the complete workup that would be done if exactly the same type of patient named "Jane Doe" presented to a Neurology Department at St. Elsewhere Medical Center in the year 2005."<

- That's a point I hadn't considered, all the advances in medicine, why not give it a shot? He had plenty of cash, (before he wasted it on lawyers) to have her taken to the best neurology center available.

Terry Schiavo bone scan showing trauma:

On May 6th, 1990, two months after the mysterious incident that left Terri Schindler Schiavo severely mentally disabled, Dr. Hamilton, an Orthopedic Surgeon, examined her. A year later Terri was demonstrating painful reactions to physical therapy treatment, so on March 5, 1991, the Mediplex therapist director ordered a bone scan.

This bone scan revealed a healed broken right femur bone and healed bone fractures in Terri Schindler Schiavo’s ribs, pelvis, spine and ankle.

Dr. W. Campbell Walker concluded that Terri has a history of trauma and presumed that the other multiple areas of abnormal activity also relate to previous trauma."
