The spiritual advisor of the Schindlers, Bro. O'Donnell, said the Dept. of Children and Families has had a new physician examine Terri and that "he DID go into her room and WAS at her side and DID observe her."

Department of Children and Families, are the department if someone is being physically abused, or the elderly, and "they have the authority" to take her into protective custody.

He continued, "what is being done to her now constitutes" that, and that DCF should "be taking her into protective custody."

Cooper: "Aren't people being taken off feeding tubes all the time?" Brother O'Donnell: "When they're DYING. But she was not dying. She could live another 20, 40 years."

"She's the only person who has been COURT ORDERED to have her tubes removed. Not 'The guardian MAY" but the guardian 'shall' remove her tubes."

CNN checked on the facticity of this last claim, and found that "There is ONLY ONE other case, Nancy Beth Cuzan in which the court ordered the tube MUST be removed."

Dr.Sanjay Gupta says if Terri is in the minimally conscious state, her eyes open spontaneously. She must do one of the following: --follow simple commands (to show she can hear and understand) --give yes or no responses

CNN checked on the facticity of this last claim.......

Whoa...that's gotta be a first.

And such a big word too.....

[GopherIt]

Yes, and the affidavit by Dr. Cheshire does a pretty complete if brief review of the literature on fMRI/PET findings that distinguish PVS from Minimal Consciousness. CAT, purely a structural view, shows the presence of cerebral cortex. At issue is functionality, and CAT tells you nothing about that.

America is a has been.

"You can find doctor to bolster whatever point of view you need to make ... it happens in courts-of-law across America
all the time. You pay their expenses and throw in a handsome gratuity and voila ... you get the opinion requested."


Gee...you may be on to something. Unfortunately, MS figured that out before even you did.

[unfortunately a bluestater]

"What does Judge Greer personally gain by Terri being murdered?"

That's what I'd like to know.

Is it a power/control thing---either for himself or the judiciary? Does he have a problem admitting he could be wrong?

[DoctorMichael]

"It is becoming more and more clear to me that the people who want Terri dead are the ones whose hearts have stopped".

"May they burn in Hell".

Couldn't have said it better.

[Diogenesis]

Your 'argument' is just BS. This handicapped woman is a human being and a witness for Congress.

Inconvenient for those who murder routinely, but a human being and witness nonetheless.

She must be allowed to live and to have a chance at therapy.

Nope. That is not it. Here are links so you can read for yourself. Enjoy.

[MHGinTN]

Dr Gupta conveniently ignores the taped visitation Greer's own chosen neurologist had with her where he gives her simple commands and commends her for following them ... and it's on video tape! No, the liberal establishment must now see to it that Terri Schiavo is dead and creamated sooner rather than later, to prevent possible embarrassment to the democrap party and to the legion of liberal bilgespittlists who've ruled she is unworthy of continued LIFE.

[freecopper01]

Because they cannot afford for his word not to be taken as gospel.

[workerbee]

30 judges have all said she should be allowed to die. starved until she finally dies.

There we go...

[Osage Orange]

Well, what kind of doctor makes a diagnosis after spending 90 minutes with a patient?

Happens quite often....in ER's all across this country..everyday, every hour...24/7.

[Fudd Fan]

"Only the obstinate, murderous selfishness of the HINO and the psychotic power-play of Greer are preventing that."

A thousand times amen.

[GopherIt]

So?

You can find doctor to bolster whatever point of view you need to make ... it happens in courts-of-law across America all the time. You pay their expenses and throw in a handsome gratuity and voila ... you get the opinion requested.

I had exactly one of those (the same "twinkie defense" guy) try to tell me and 11 others that, under the influence of being shot by the guy in the shackles 5 times, a 12 year old girl was not credible in pointing at him and recalling that "he stood over me and pumped bullets into me as I lay on the ground".

Luckily, the Judge also allowed into evidence corroborating grand jury tesimony. I didn't think, I knew that guy was full of crap. Moments like those are actually memories that you'll recall vividly even into senility.

Said shackled dude is in for 25-life...

[MHGinTN]

Greer's chosen 'expert' spent 45 minutes with Terri, Hammesfahr spent nearly eleven hours with her; Greer's 'expert' issued the ruling Greer wanted so Greer rejected other diagnosis. It is as insanely simple as that.

[workerbee]

Her heart beats because of machines keeping her alive

My God. Truly unbelievable. You are an ignoramus. GET LOST!

[jla]

Carla (last name?) was the nurse who found Terri sweating profusely and found insulin syringe in trash.
She stated that she went to police that day and a homicidal detective came to her home that night.
Next day, hospice administrators were livid with her for going to police. Her job was terminated that day.
She says that Gov Bush knows of her allegations.
