Terri Bleeding From Eyes and Mouth
Newsmax ^ | 3/26/05

Posted on 03/26/2005 5:11:01 AM PST by areafiftyone

Contrary to predictions that Terri Schiavo's starvation death would be painless and dignified, an eyewitness who visited her hospice room early Saturday morning reports that she is now bleeding from the eyes and mouth.

Fox News Channel's "Fox & Friends" reported Saturday morning:

"Barbara Weller, who's is one of the attorneys for the Schindlers, says that the last time she checked in, not very many hours ago, Terri's eyes and tongue were bleeding now.

"Her eyes are sunken and her skin continues to flake off," Weller added.

On Thursday Terri's parents reported that their daughter now resembles "an Auschwitz victim."

At the request of Michael Schiavo's attorney, Judge George Greer has banned cameras and video equipment from her room, precluding the possibility that a photographic record of her deteriorating condition might be kept.

The eyewitness accounts stand in stark contrast to predictions from medical experts cited in numerous media reports who insisted that Terri's starvation death would not be gruesome.

On Wednesday, for instance, the Los Angles Times reported:

"Doctors say that going without food and water in the last weeks of life is not traumatic, and that the body is equipped to adjust to such conditions."

The paper quoted Dr. Perry G. Fine, vice president of medical affairs at the National Hospice and Palliative Care Organization in Arlington, Va.

I totally agree and said so on another thread a couple of days ago.

Go for it Jeb, you have nothing to lose.

Do you seriously think we are getting the truth from the Schindlers? I don't.

I'm not sure. Even less sure if the common-law-remarried-husband with the pro-death lawyer is being honest either. So silly me, I go with the people who are caring for her, not the people who want her out of the way.

Thanks, but no thanks. I'll stand my ground.

One can only run so far, and for so long. Sooner or later you'll have nowhere to hide.

It's high time to to take a stand - or perish.

Well, being part of the "Scumbag death cult", I wouldn't know anything about anything except being a scumbag.

But I do remember watching my grandmother in a nursing home in quite a similiar state as Terri is. She lingered for 7 years, not talking, eating, acknowleging any of her family.

She had been a nurse and I often wonder how she thought about lingering on like that for so many years. She was 95 when she finally passed away

16 years ago last friday my Dad came home from work, went to bed and passed away early that morning in his sleep from congestive heart failure.


24 years ago on May 29 my son died at 2months of age from SIDS.

I am grateful that my Dad and my Son were able to leave us in a very quiet and peaceful way.

I guess that makes me a scumbag and gives me no reason to question why a Christian would even think to call me that without even knowing this much about me.

Hello. I haven't seen you for a long time.

I stay pretty busy, plus I'm trying to stay out of this Right-to-life/Right-to-die debacle. I haven't seen FR this riled up since Elian.

Nice seeing you again.

They should have starved and dehydrated Elian.

I apoligize, my previous post was for Sinkspur.

You went through a terrible suffering with your father. My heart breaks for you and your family. And I thank you for your love for him in the end.

Even Fox News slanted against Terry, so the GOP has backed off.

The GOP backed off because every religious nutcake within 3,000 miles is on this thing like white on rice. I'm not sure who to blame that on, though.

I would say it's a fair statement that allowing Randall Terry to participate didn't help any.

I would laugh at that because it's funny, but it ain't funny. Know what I mean, Gene?

That's good. Because Governor Greer's ascension to unlimited power (and those of his fellow black robed tyrants) has just increased the probability that you and a whole bunch of other people are going to be facing your mortality, maybe sooner than you expected.

Get it through your heads people. The failure of President Bush and his brother Governor Bush to stand up to this tin horn tyrant in Pinellas County has effectively elevated the judiciary in America to the SUPREME branch of government. The executive and legislative branches are just there for decoration and ceremony now, and the coming years will prove these words true.

Wait and see.

You will see this quote of yours again. I have saved it for posterity. I steal from the best.

Meanwhile, hyperbole is making a comeback.

Anyway, I have a living will and a power of attorney... DNR after a certain point because I died once, was brought back, and have no intention of going through that hell again.

Care to point to a groundbreaking case where a judge refused to uphold a living will and power of attorney? Or are using the crystal ball method, ie; "feelings" to get your point across?

You will have to address that to the person that used that term. Check back please because it wasn't me.

We all have issues in our lives and that is why this has become such a contentious matter. My wife was the same age as Terri Schiavo when she died of breast cancer three years ago.

She had a living will and a DNR and died under Hospice care after a long five year battle leaving three loving sons and a devastated husband.

So please spare me, I know the difference between letting someone died with dignity and forcing a death which is what this has become.

In one breath some pray to save the starving people in the world and their next they ask for Terri to die like this.
One thing that comforts me is the hope and belief that inside Terri's spirit is perfect and no one can harm that.
Prayers for all.

I don't care why you doubt this story, because it's true. However, since you ask, my guess is that you doubt this story merely because it makes you feel better on some level. If you didn't doubt this story, you might have to consider that your perception is wrong. Most people don't like doing that.

Antiguv, I think you have nailed why these pro death people don't want to believe that Terri is suffering. They would rather bury their heads in the sand and pretend she is peaceful and call anyone a liar who says she is suffering. Much easier on the old conscience.
