Daddy, Why are the Courts Trying to Kill Terri Schiavo?

After September 11th, my children came up to me afraid to go to school because they thought they might be attacked by terrorists and I assumed that I had all the answers. I could explain how far away from anything important we live and how many times they were more likely to be struck by lightning than hurt by a terrorist, but they still want to play in the rain. I would then open the newspaper, or turn on the television and show them all the steps the government was taking to protect them, "See all those soldiers? Every one of them wants to protect you." My words soothed them, but seeing action being taken by our elected officials on the news had a tangible impact on them that something was being done about a problem in a way my words never could.

However, now I am out of answers. My daughter came up to me and asked why the courts were killing Terri Schiavo.

ANSWER:....Because she is in a "demeaning" state son. We in our society don't like to look at people who don't look "just right" even if they are still a living breathing human.

Judgenfuhrer Greer: "Just between us. I am ridding Earth of a potential witness
to my, my wife's, and my legal donors' Hospice malpractice.
Having denied the victim medical care, food, and water for years,
any reasonable Nazi can understand that I must eliminate the evidence and victim.
Her cremation will occur shortly to prove this."

"Judge Greer has his own copy of Gorelick's book "Destruction of Evidence".
None of us will EVER be stopped or fired again by anyone."

This is a HORRIBLE example and spectacle for children.

Because some thing's perverted in the American system. I'm starting to think we need Judge Roy Moore to run in 2008 to fix the problem from the top down.

I'm afraid the explanation is so simple, even a child can understand it.

PEOPLE v. ARCHERD (1970) 3 C3d 615

"...The lapse of time between the various offenses and the indictment of defendant on July 27, 1967, is considerable but is adequately explained by the record. The murder weapon in each case was unique, insulin. The deaths of each of these victims were initially attributed to causes other than a criminal agency. Suspicion of insulin and of defendant as the person administering the insulin was not aroused until the death of Zella in 1956. It was not until years later, after much painstaking and persistent investigation by law enforcement officers, and the discovery of advances made in {Page 3 Cal.3d 621} medical knowledge and techniques, that sufficient evidence could be accumulated to charge defendant with these deaths. Unfortunately, by then other of defendant's victims had lost their lives. This is the only known reported case of murder by insulin poisoning in the United States. Only one other, reported world-wide, occurred in England in 1956. ..."

Who's going to sue the hospice? Hospice is a death house. People aren't supposed to go there until the last 6 months or so. It's not a place to park humans when a spouse wants care denied.

I'm listening to Michael Savage and he's saying that most legislators are lawyers so they're not going to upset the apple cart of the activist judges.

There are certain people I would like to ping to this, but won't. You probably will not see them here either, since a child's viewpoint is beneath them.

[Earthdweller]

Death by dehydration. You will not see any pictures of the true torture..nor will you see an autopsy. It will all be covered up.

I will bet you anything she doesn't look like this anymore..

Well kids it's like this. President Bush has been right on so many issues that the Democrats need to win one so their Judges will ignore Congress and let her die. You see it's all really only a game to them!

"She has no awareness"

Seems that you have no awareness.

You have hit the nail on the head!

[Fitzcarraldo]

"...Dr. Grace Fern Thomas, a psychiatrist and an expert in insulin shock therapy, and director of the insulin shock department at the time defendant was at Camarillo, testified as to the procedures on the ward. A precise dosage of insulin was measured for each person at a particular time. At a specific level that patient would go into shock in approximately two hours after the injection. Patients do not progress at the same level. Careful watch must be kept of the pulse, color, blood pressure, general condition, and neurological signs, such as pupillary changes and body motions. When a patient is going into progressive stages of coma he sweats very profusely and breathes very heavily. Saliva is secreted in large amounts, mucous flows freely and mixes with the saliva, and the patient must be carefully watched, turned, or assisted so that he does not aspirate the fluid into his lungs. Otherwise bronchopneumonia may develop, leading to death. The gag reflex and the cornea reflex are lost. Convulsions may occur, and medication is given to prevent this. The extremities may stiffen. At a relatively deep level of coma the Babinski test (scatching the sole of the foot in a certain manner) will cause a reflex known as the Babinski response (toes fan out). The patient must be brought out of the coma within 10-15 minutes thereafter. This is done by administering glucose through gastric tubes, and if this is not effective, glucose is administered intravenously to raise the blood sugar.

If the brain is deprived of blood sugar for a prolonged period irreversible brain damage and death may result.

As soon as a patient is fed glucose he awakens and is hungry. Only regular insulin was used in the ward because it was the only insulin where the time of coma could be calculated for therapeutic use. Injections began with small doses, very gradually increased over a three-week period..."

Coastal,

Terry Schiavo is in a persistant vegetative state. She has no awareness, and everything she was as a person is already gone. Tell your daughter that dying is a natural part of life, and she will be with God soon.

No one is killing Terry Schiavo. We can take comfort in the fact that she feels no pain. She is not "starving to death" in the sense that she feels hunger. She does not. She is in a state of ketosis. Explain that to your daughter. Tell her that when Terri had conscious awareness, she did not want to be like this.



the words will not come for me to explain how misguided your "guidance" is.
