TAMPA, Fla. — In what may prove to be Terri Schiavo's parents' "final shot," their attorney was trying to persuade a judge Friday that the severely brain-damaged woman had expressed her will to live.

According to an emergency motion filed late Friday afternoon, attorney Barbara Weller said that during a hospice visit on March 18, she asked Schiavo pointedly what her wishes were. Weller directed Schiavo to say the words, "I want to live."

Wow-- a curve ball. I like it!!!

The parents who sent this child there just for a token
arrest should be arrested.

"Guys in the blue suits are under orders to shoot anybody who brings a camera near her."


Sounds like "excessive force" and a whole new can of worms. Got a source for that statement? I'd appreciate it, thanks.

Perhaps she intended to say "to die" but lacked the where withall.

Let's not stop there. Perhaps she intended to say "to starve to death" but lacked the where with all. So, let's go ahead and starve her. /sarcasm.

This is sickening. I can't believe this is going on in this country.

[Brad’s Gramma]

Dork. :)


There's so many people who don't know SO much....including her cremation, I believe already paid for....that I assumed you were one of them.

This is one of the many things that just breaks my heart. Those people can't even BURY their daughter. Her ashes will be taken to another state...this is cruel beyond my comprehension. I don't care WHAT kind of bad blood there may or may not have been between the Shindlers and Mickey, but to deny them the BURIAL...is abominable.

[concerned about politics]

Don't forget, there's a funeral still to go. There will be cathedrals and grand......

Forget it! Terri's "beloved husband" has already put in the order to have her burnt to a crisp to hide all evidence of foul play upon her death.

What you said is true. And during Easter families will get together over every single Easter dinner table, Terri will be THE conversation.

[MHGinTN]

Greer will find some way to reject this sworn testimony because it could reverse the execution he and his euthanasia friends running the Hospice system in floriduh gloating over. He won't let this into his court as credible.

[FreeReign]

Who's next?

[GloriaJane]

You will notice that same thing with people who use cocaine.

[dwilli]

Guys in the blue suits are under orders to shoot anybody who brings a camera near her.

A statement that foolish deserves a link to the original source.

[RasterMaster]

I like the way you think! Turn MS and his lawyer and judges all participants in a FEDERAL crime! Lock em up without food and water for a few weeks...

[Earthdweller]

They are activists and they are trying to set a precedent.

Yes just watch our nation fall. There will be a lot more Michael’s coming out of the wood work soon now that it's close to being shown to everyone across the country that it is legal for an estranged husband to decide on his disabled wife's fate....

[jennyjenny]

The same Dr Cranford who diagnosed her PVS also calls a spoon an artificial support.

I guess we're all going to have to get prescriptions from our doctors now to go to the grocery store.

Weller directed Schiavo to say the words, "I want to live."

=======

They'll say that amounts to "leading the witness" !!!

=======

Jeb Bush and Jaywalking !!!

If a little baby crawled out into a busy highway and sat in
the middle of the road, I'm quite sure that Governor Bush
would risk a jaywalking ticket to rush into the street and
save the child even if the Don't Walk sign was flashing !!!

Terri is an innocent and helpless child right now. Therefore, she
desperately needs someone to bravely risk arrest for jaywalking
to save her life from that evil mob of monsters who are blatantly
attempting to murder her ... in plain view of the entire world !!!

Jaywalk NOW Jeb !!!

Dammit... Jaywalk NOW !!!

Terri's "beloved husband" has already put in the order to have her burnt to a crisp to hide all evidence of foul play upon her death.

Another foolish statement that requires a link to the source.

[MHGinTN]

Bert, that is probably exactly the rationale Greer will use to dismiss this effort.

[spokeshave]

"It's not over. Even if we can't save Terri, we won't forget what this was about. They have awakened a sleeping giant and we are pissed!

Terri Schiavo has the right to die, whether she wants to or not. That is the only right she has. The right to life is just a fantasy created by right wing religious zealots. /sarcasm
