I believe this article as much as I believe Der Sturmer, the official Nazi Party news publication.
WHICH "experts"? An article that isn't willing to quote real sources is pretty much bunk.
These people would have us ignore what our own eyes tell us, and what the family tells us.
I am glad Bush is taking her into protective custody. There are plenty of other so-called experts who say something different about Terri, including the one the Florida protective services people used from Mayo today.
When there is doubt like this, differing medical opinions, when the family is split like it is...you err on the side of life.
Bush understands this and is acting accordingly.
Cripes, I'm getting more and more %&#!ing confused with each new article.
It seems like everyone has a different idea of what PVS is and whether Terri Sciavo has it.
My current favorite was the "news" report yesterday that "experts" claim people starving to death experience euphoria.
One of these days I'm going to make a compilation of all the thoroughly ridiculous things that journalists allege "experts agree" on.
I saw a video where someone asked her to open her eyes and she opened them really wide. It wasn't a reflex. So what if her life is similar to that of a baby. That doesn't mean she should die.
whatever. she stays alive when fed, and that about settles it.
Exactly...and in such an environement what should we do? Kill her, or err on the side of life? The answer is obvious.
Gee, that sounds like reasonable doubt to me....
I won't believe it until I see it.
I don't believe what I see.
I believe what I want to believe.
What does it have to do with the courts siding with some appearent prick on hearsay testimony?
Is this article really trying to ellude to killing a person if they are in a PVS no matter what!?
Does anyone ever stop and ask these "experts" if they are pro-choice?
Because I'd bet most of them are. And therefore, their motives are suspect.
"It's just gas."
"I believe this article as much as I believe"
I'll add that they can look at you with intense glare as if they know you.
Then they'll give the same recognizing glare out into space.
The one's I've seen have more seeming eye recognition ability than Terri, less vocal sounds.
I don't know what her real medical condition is, and I accept the possibility the doctors on either side are correct. But the case still troubles me and I wouldn't remove the tube at this point due to all the familiar facts - differences in medical opinions and observations, the husband's estrangement, and teh parents' desire to provide additional care.
I pointed to a tree, and asked my dog "what's that?" He said "bark!"
