no doubt about it.
So isn't Terri alive, 'evidence' in a crimminal investigartion and therefore a valid legalality so that Gov. Bush can protect her? Just asking here.
If there's anything to this, I don't expect to see it ever come out. Jeb certainly isn't going to push a criminal investigation that might expose corruption behind the killing of Terri -- because it would make him look all the worse for not acting to stop that killing. Greer and the others - whether they're corrupt, criminals, or merely evil bastards - are home free.
Gee, You think so? < / TOTAL DISGUST WITH THE cops/courts/scumball judges >
Why do the courst/lawscumdogs arrest Dr. Kevorkian (?sp) but they want to MURDER Terri?
This case stinks so badly I can smell it from here (I'm in Calif.).
The three judge panel just turned down Terri's latest appeal.
The 03/05/91 Bone Scan that was done by Dr. James Carnahan is all the proof I need
Get the sheriff. Time for some citizen's arrest.
Jim King, Rice,Greer,___,____,____,for this a nation soul dies.
Money is there god. We failed Lord. They murdered your child on the Holiest week, and in front of the entire World.
Lord response to them
I won't be spending my hard earned dollars in the "Bloodstained State" for a long, long time.
At this point, unless he does something in the middle of the night, it's clear that Jeb Bush and George Bush are hollow men. There's no there there. They have taken many extraordinary actions in the past, but when the time came to actually save Terri's life, neither one of them has the courage and integrity needed.
This happened with AIDS years ago, which, when redefined, included groups of people who did not even have to be HIV positive. This skewed not only the total number of people defined as having AIDS (which made for more grant money), but made it appear that significantly more heterosexuals were infected, making a disease which had been predominantly the provenance of homosexuals and needle junkies seem to be more widespread in the general population.
A lesson to be learned is that the terms included in a statute need to be statutorily defined, with great specificity, if need be, and the court must make expert witnesses adhere to these definitions.
Part of the increasing downside of the Orwellian conversion of the English language is that when 'bad means good and good means bad, confusion will inevitably result.
The standard for determining the patient's wishes should be raised, also.
If the patient signs a document which states that no extraordinary means should be used to prolong life, and the specific circumstances in which those mandates apply, that is one thing.
It is quite another to have the bar so low that those close to the patient can collect from the lawsuit and then remember the patient's desire to be terminated by withdrawal of life sustaining measures.
Were someone on a ventilator, they would not be stopped from breathing on their own should they be capable of doing so ( I would hope, anyway!). Terri should be allowed to try to swallow food (applesauce, Gerber's, whatever) and/or water, simply because she might be capable of doing so, and not need the tube.
Both the President and the Fla Gov are in between a rock and a hard place. If either overstep the legal boundaries of their offices, they will be branded as power hungry and having no respect for law (remember, to the DU types, Bush=Hitler,anyway.) If they do nothing, they will be branded as uncaring, for having let Terri die.
The only way Gov. Bush could intervene is to keep public order and remove parties who were in imminent danger, similar to evacuation in the face of a natural disaster or riot. Please, let me be most explicit. I AM NOT advocating a riot. But if such were to occur, there is a small chance, and only a small one that hydration could be administered intravienously during evacuation, and that would probably only prolong Terri's agony.
Extralegal measures such as internet death threats do nothing to strengthen the cause of life, only weaken it.
Ultimately, the decision must reside with the courts. And ultimately, the courts will have to be carefully examined to see what changes need to be made, especially in cases like this.
Why am I not surprized?
I had worked out the inferrence that something crooked was going on inside the Pinneras Co. Court long before I read this.
Follow the money!
Greer has order cremation as soon as she is dead. No autopsy that might show how she got into that condition. There will be no evidence left. They are covering their tracks by judicial order. I can only hope that their final judge will be just as severe and thorough in His judgment. We reap what we sow.
Among the neglect and abuse complaints is that Michael Schiavo:
Has not allowed therapy or rehabilitation since late 1992.
Has prevented swallowing tests or swallowing therapy since 1993.
Ordered caretakers not to clean Terri's teeth since 1995, resulting in removal of five teeth in April 2004.
Placed Terri in hospice in 2000, despite the fact she is not terminally ill.
Refuses to allow Terri to leave her room. She has not been outside since 2000.
Ordered doctors not to treat Terri when she had a life threatening infection in 1993 and 1995.

How absolutely horrible and he is not only getting away with it, but the judge was the willing hitman to kill his wife.
