Toward Tradition and Rabbi Daniel Lapin urge the husband of neurology patient Terri Schindler-Schiavo, and Judge George Greer, who issued her death warrant, to recognize that starving an invalid is murder, not mercy.
Florida Circuit Court Judge Greer Thursday last week re-interpreted the law, calling food and water "medical treatment," thus allowing Michael Schiavo to withdraw Mrs. Schindler-Schiavo's feeding tube. This also ignores the rights of Terri's primary caretakers and loyal defenders, her mother and father. The court has ordered all food and water withheld beginning this Friday, March 18th; it is expected to take her between 1- 2 weeks to starve or dehydrate to death. One wonders if they will attempt to withhold air as well.
Rabbi Lapin, president of the national Jewish-Christian alliance, appealed to Mr. Schiavo and Judge Greer to choose life. "Not for nothing is the climax of God's relationship with Israel His admonition 'I place before you this day life and death--therefore choose life.' According to ancient Jewish wisdom, failure actively and deliberately to choose life makes death the default. None of us will be better off in an America in which death has become the culture's default," said Rabbi Daniel Lapin.
Those that support the impending murder might consider that Kate Adamson, a California woman who suffered a sudden double-brainstem stroke, was deemed a vegetable by her physicians; her husband was warned she would never regain full brain function. He refused to give up on her (although she could not speak or move), in stark contrast to Mr. Schiavo. Mr. Adamson's faith appears to have been correct, because his wife has written a book about her experiences: Kate's Journey: Triumph Over Adversity, which tells of her journey from isolation and catastrophic brain injury.
Mrs. Adamson recently spoke out on behalf of Terri Schindler-Schiavo at a rally protesting the pre-meditated murder plot by her husband and the courts.
As former US Surgeon General C. Everett Koop wrote: "If we ever decide that a poor quality of life justifies ending that life, we have taken a step down a slippery slope that places all of us in danger. There is a difference between allowing nature to take its course and actively assisting death."
Toward Tradition applauds US Senator Mel Martinez and Representative Dave Weldon (FL), who have introduced a bill to Congress entitled the "Incapacitated Persons' Legal Protection Act," guaranteeing constitutional rights to those who cannot speak for themselves.
They introduced the bill.
Will it pass?
Will it be signed?
Will some black-robed demon call IT unconstitutional?

I suggest you kneel before Zod or you will starve or burn at my choice."

basic human needs should not be considered medical treatment. I dont consider myself receiving medical treatment when my parents fed me while I was a kid. Also if Michael is considered the legal guardian by law, doesnt this force him to do whatever he can in his means to provide the basic needs of life including water and food. I know if my legal guardians when i was a kid refused me food and water, theyd be locked up. As far as im ocncerned, he is committing murder and he should be put on trial if she dies.
I realize this is may be out of sequence here...
Has anyone heard anything about the 11th Circuit Appeal, yet? My beloved told me earlier today Terri's family was focused on taking their case there, again.
Any news? I cannot find any.
I think to terrible, evil, vicious, vile judges (ALMOST ALL OF THEM) want her to die before they have to condemn her, again.
Tell you what else...
I think if Gov. Bush does not get her, that my Lord will force the Appeals court AND the Supreme court to condemn His daughter, Terri. When they face Him, they will NOT be able to say, "We would have, but.."
Greer is the poster person for what evil has gripped America.
That prison scene is breathtaking in it's implications. Our judges will be themselves in front of the Judge of all of creation.
They had no mercy for her.
He will have Justice for her.
Awesome. That should appear in every newspaper at least.
But Greer is a Baptist, or at least he was until he had a split with them. Greer could care less about this Rabbi.
Its coming With all the bad Karma as well as badwill Felos, Greer, Schiavo are projecting it is bound to go their way soon.
What goes around, comes around. Maybe Judge Greer will one day find himself in Terri's position.
Do you have a cite for that? Last I heard, she was alive. She is living and breathing.
Believe it or not, I hope not.
At least not in the exact "Spouse trying to kill spouse," situation.
Because I really don't want someone to commit murder.
If, however the Lord blessed him with time on his hands to contemplate being at the mercy of others for his daily bread that might wash....
As far as im ocncerned, he is committing murder and he should be put on trial if she dies.
Then executed by starvation when convicted.
Hello, 'Nuff
I have been missing you.
Glad to see you are back among the living.
Of course they have no cite, they are full of sheet.
God man, Rabbi!
