This happens with a lot of people. Years ago, I used to read in the papers that Terri was brain dead, that the husband wanted to remove her from life support and that the parents were just giving him a hard time. Naturally, I took them for their word.
I was listening to Glenn Beck one morning tell a very different story, so I decided to look into it myself. I only then learned that Terri was cognizant, only receiving assisted sustenance for a few hours every day and that the husband had his own family and had not allowed rehab for years on end.
Very different image, obviously.
Someone near and dear to me had to recieve assisted sustenance for quite a while. It's not life support. It's simple maintenance. Taking it away with the sole purpose of killing the patient is wrong and you don't have to look too deep to figure that out.
The media has done as much a disservice to this woman as the courts. It pains me to no end.
Up in the middle of the night in CA. Checking in to see if Jeb Bush has saved our little sister yet. Apparently not. And apparently he's not going to. Poor Terri and her family. God bless 'em. Jeb Bush is going to be blamed for the rest of his life for killing Terri. He stood by and watched her die when he had the power to save her.
I am angry because you know darn well that these judges at all these courts have had to have heard of the allegations and stuff as to Michael's having something to do with the reason Terri is like this to begin with and yet no one seems to care. You would think that they would want to get to the truth, by granting the de novo trial which would unlock the whole truth. The hearings that they have had are not what the bill passed by congress was saying when they said a de novo review. They defied the congress and yet that seems to be ok.
I too feel that she wouldn't be dying today if the media had told the truth instead of spewing lie, after lie, after lie. They tell lied enough and the public takes it for truth. I've tried to explain the truth to people but they only want to believe CNN et al.
