TERRI SCHIAVO DAILY MARCH 2005 PART 4, DAY 5 OF HER DEHYDRATION -- PLEASE HANG ON WITH US

Various | 3-23-05

[STARWISE]

Tonight it is, March 22, 2005, over five days since Theresa Marie Schiavo commenced her ordeal of purposeful and legally sanctioned dehydration and starvation. We await a decision from the three judge panel from Eleventh Judicial Circuit as to her fate, as her family struggles with seeing Terri's physical health deteriorate.

Don't answer if you can avoid it...I learned the hard way all you'll get is argument, not sane reasoning. This thread has been such a blessing...people who love Terri. I hope the naysayers will go to the other threads and please leave us alone. We're working.

[Awestruck]

So we break God's laws by adhering to man's? I don't think so. See how far that will fly on judgement day. But you go right ahead, Adolf, I'm sure God won't mind you calling for the death of a lady just to satisfy your smug satisfaction with being a good little statist.

(Assuming you're talking about the movie!)

Exactly, and this is not no doctor, this is a top Neurologist from the Mayo clinic who is saying Terri was misdiagnosed! Greer better err on the side of life just like Bush said or me thinks Greer will be held accountable for Terri's death if she dies! Honestly I don't see how any judge can take a Neurologist serious if he believes that people who have Alzheimers and PVS should not have consitutional rights and should die! yep, that is what the Neurologist who testified for HINO believes! Truly shocking! Sorry, but that is a doctor who just wants people dead if you ask me! Sooner or later if we don't put a stop to this madness our country will start putting to death people for this very thing all the time because some freakizoid Neurologist says we should!

[Types_with_Fist]

They have a little time but not much. To heck with the courts here. I think we have more hope than we've had in days because of that presser. I'm really pleasantly surprised. Jeb just may step up on what we have prayed for.

[Two-Bits]

Don't you know it was probably gas...At least this would be the explanation of the death crowd....

[RightWhale]

Either we live under a system of laws, or we do not. Injecting emotion into this debate is a mistake.

We are watching the law in action. There comes a time when rationality, which is half of our essence, has to share with aesthetics. The law is an a$$.

[Spunky]

I haven't been able to stay and keep watching as I was in the middle of painting.

WOULD SOMEONE PLEASE TELL ME IF ALL THESE LAST SPEAKERS ARE DEMOCRATS OR HAS IT BEEN EQUAL SPEAKERS. WHAT IS THE CONCENCESS ON HOW THIS IS GOING?

I know people say all caps is yelling, but I am not yelling, I just want to get attention to get my question answered.

[DJ MacWoW]

The law they're using states she needs to be PVS. This Mayo doctor says she's minimally concious. What's Greer gonna say? The Mayo doctor is incompetent? Hopefully Greer knows when the jig is up.

Florida Statutes, Article 415.1051

(2) EMERGENCY PROTECTIVE SERVICES INTERVENTION.--If the department has reasonable cause to believe that a vulnerable adult is suffering from abuse or neglect that presents a risk of death or serious physical injury to the vulnerable adult and that the vulnerable adult lacks the capacity to consent to emergency protective services, the department may take action under this subsection. If the vulnerable adult has the capacity to consent and refuses consent to emergency protective services, emergency protective services may not be provided.

[Joanna Najfeld]

Is that Bush conference going to be broadcast anywhere online? Please, post the link.

[valleygal]

Some guy on Sean saying basically, Christians are terrible for wanting Terri to live. His wife's a doctor that treated Terri, he says, and he's a lawyer. She has half a brain ans will never get better....blah, blah, blah.

They just don't get it.

You don't kill the disabled because they don't measure up to your idea of "worthy" or "quality of life".

The day will come and all will see just Who is in control.

[Halls]

Exactly, it is time for Greer to finally say ok, enough and do the right thing! If he continues on with the crap he will pay a huge price!

[Types_with_Fist]

Greer will be held accountable for Terri's death if she dies

I think that is just the angle Jeb and his people are working on.

And this: My sheep hear My voice. And: You will hear a voice behind you saying, "This is the Way, walk ye in it."

[DJ MacWoW]

Luv, don't feed the Terri troll.

[Spunky]

I like this guy who is talking now. He is compassionate.

[Knitting A Conundrum]

So I'm not the only one who is getting this word...

[mjtobias]

The president can write an executive order to get Terri into a hospital immediately. It is not breaking any law to do so. The judge can still take time to ruminate over this case. This action would not interfere with the judge. And since Greer already flaunted a Congressional subpoena his ruling is highly questionable.

Executive orders are lawful. They've been written by presidents ever since Washington on a number of different issues.

Contacting the president and ask him to write an executive order immediately. If you cannot reach him, then contact your state senators and representatives.

They have to get an order from Greer, is that what they are doing, or are they unsealing records?
