the way she's being treated currently is an atrocity.
Me too. I would suggest staying out of the State of Florida as they are murdering people down there with the courts approval.
....
Terri is only one of hundreds of millions who have been destroyed beacuse it is "legal" and convenient....
By the state?
And, does that mean we are supposed to say "off her, off her"?
I'm a bit dense at times. You lost me here. What's your question?
Yes, and due to Terri's wishes of privacy, etc., I'm sure it was her wishes that Michael bring to Terri's hospice room his friends, and one woman that Terri never even met, to "view" her starving and dehydrating to death.
Yes we are far removed. And, they are not preventing a re-look at the case.
Were you ever one of those on the Oklahoma Massacre threads thinking there was more behind the scenes than we were led to believe? Well - that is this for us. There is the euthanasia movement marching forward continually changing the criteria to allow people to the "offed". Now they have gotten state support and federal support for their agenda.
Something to check on
How the law is worded in your state, and I would suggest we all check periodically in our own states.
Here is what is going on in Florida...
"They also state that advanced directives providing for treatment should not carry the same weight as directives withdrawing care, and advanced directives should not compel the physican to provide them, regardless if the patient needs them (Doty).
Doty is part of the Florida Bioethics Network as well as Project Grace. One of the changes in the law in CB/CB/SB 2228 includes the Bioethics Network as part of the process of withdrawing care.
Evil doings but just watch how many of the masses will agree that others need death administered naively thinking it will never be them.
I would object the same to any person who was treated in a similar way. Terri is a warning of what could happen to any of us - in many ways this case is symbolic of how much this nation values human life. It horrifies me to know the answer is, "not much".
There was a window during an appeal and Jeb Bush was apparently doing just that when Judge Death went and shut the door on it.
The Florida Supreme Court ruling in Bush v. Schiavo IS the Roe v Wade of euthanasia.
ARTICLE I

(d) The governor shall have power to call out the militia to preserve the public peace, execute the laws of the state, suppress insurrection, or repel invasion.
[Added emphasis is mine]
I an neither a lawyer, nor a Constitutional scholar, but it would seem pretty clear to me that Governor Bush has the right to do this and that he could go so far as to have Greer imprisoned for interfering.
this is not classified as an atrocity. far from it. get over it..
Absolutely evil.....
Agreed. The culture of death in this nation is an abomination. We look at the Canaanites, who burned their children to death as Baal worship, and we cringe, we insist they were barbarians, and we are enlightened. The truth is, those children were destroyed to ensure good crops, so everybody wouldn't be inconvenienced in any way. We sacrifice our own to the same god of selfishness and convenience EVERY DAY.
Most definitely.
Which is why it shocks me that some on this forum, whose members claim to support liberty, insist I shouldn't be having a cow.
