What a selfish egotistical do-gooder brat.

"The moral and spiritual issues about Terri are not about her sex life nor her husband's."
True. Although I did hear a snippet on a news show saying Michael got a settlement of ~$300,000 dollars for not being able to have relations with Terri anymore. Didn't catch why there was a settlement. If it was an insurance thing - or did some doctor mess up in the initial treatment of Terri or what.

You know, maybe they could have fed something to gramps so he would hang on a few minutes longer???You Sir, or Madam are one sick individual.!!!
To: ma bell
her parents can not be trusted either. they are selfish for prolonging her life when she has no hope to live a half normal life. those that want her to live a half-normal life are extremely selfish people that only self-serve their desire to be seen as "doing good" for selfish reasons only. What do you consider a "normal" life? How many people are disabled, parapalegic, quadrapalegic, Down's syndrome, retarded? Are there loved one's "selfish" for refusing to help them survive day to day?
What is your definition of "half-normal"?
We take on horse rescues. Animals who are no longer "useful" or living "half-normal" lives but they are loved and fed to the end of their natural lives. It's an act of compassion. At what point would someone like you just put a bullet through their head?

from your comments, it is all about 'terri'... she is nothing special, people.You're nothing special. In fact, you're revolting.

When Johnson arrived, a police officer demanded identification; she had none. And after a hospice employee cleared her, another officer halted her for a search with a metal detector. The delays lasted three to four minutes the last of her grandfather's life.

oh please, you are an idiot for that statement, lightening. You don't think that we're defined by the innocents we torture and murder?

"You must cut hospice a little slack. After all, live discharges cost them money. I'm sure it was nothing personal, just business."
Of course it is just "business" to them. Their business is death. When Terri has died, they'll have someone else in her bed before you know it. Terri had NO business in Hospice. Hospice is for those that have 6 months or less with a TERMMINAL disease. Terri was NOT terminal. She was brain damaged. I think Hospice should have refused her on THOSE grounds. Also it's HOW they kill people. There is nothing "beautiful" about starving a person to death. Nothing. It's inhumane. I put my cats down who were terminal with cancer when they could no longer eat. Terri was eating through a feeding tube. No, Hospice has dirty hands here and whenever they starve a person to death. There is also mixed HEARSAY on IF Terri wanted this. You ERR ON THE SIDE OF LIFE.

He doesn't seem very rich to me. Most of the million dollars went towards attorney's fees. Anyway, a million doesn't go that far. I dont' think he is in the lap of luxury.

Clearly? yes, clearly.
however, if you go into denial mode, for gawd knows what reasons spurred on by what personal issues, then you might begin to wonder if your eyes are playing tricks on you.
but if you're capable of viewing the video without any media, emotional or ideolgically induced delusions, it's plain as the keys on your computer that Terri Sciavo was conscious in the film.
John Kerry might try to tell you it was all a gruesome fabrication, but who'd believe him?

She's upset because she missed the last moments of her grandfather's life. Chill out. The world doesn't revolve around Terri Schiavo. There are other tragedies out there. Oh wait, no there aren't. cry me a river. some things are bigger than personal convenience or preference. uh, nevermind.

I don't have all the facts on hospices, but I wouldn't be surprised at all if they were grossly overused. I think this topic struck a nerve, among other reasons, because we ALL have to face our own (physical) mortality eventually.
If the legal principles of this case are that the spouse (husband) has the final say on a person's treatment and that his evidence as to her wishes is given the greatest deference, then let's test it with a hypothetical. Do you think we'd be hearing the same people defending this situation as "a private matter, in which government should not get involved" if a woman were in this state and pregnant, and the parents wanted her to have an abortion for health reasons? What if the husband told the court that his wife would rather not have an abortion, even at great risk to her own health or even life, and had "medical experts" who said she would probably not recover anyway? What if the husband allowed her communion but not morphine, rather than the other way around?
I don't know.
Best Easter wishes. God help us all.

"Well, if you don't want scenes like this around your hospice, maybe you shouldn't allow your hospice to be used as a prison and killing ground. Maybe you shouldn't fire your nurses for talking to a patient. Maybe you shouldn't violate your Hypocratic Oath by allowing patients under your charge to be maltreated." And maybe, you shouldn't admit people who ARE NOT DYING!!!!

HEY. I'm divorced, can I get money for going without sex too?
Would I have to move to Florida?
Seriouly, though, has anyone heard of a settlement where you got money for loss of sexual priviledges? Especially where you weren't doing without anyway?
To: Javelina
Bottom line. With food and water she lives. Without it she dies just like everyone else in the world. That is murder. Short and simple.
To: the Deejay
By your comments I would venture to say you are the type that when subjected to a full search at the airport, gets a lawyer and goes to the media screaming about the injustice, your time that was wasted, the embarrassment, the inconvenience, and it has ruined sex for you the rest of your life, so now you want $20,000,000 in compensation.
But, that's just an opinion.
To: ma bell
ANd the cop at the door searches the parents for video equipment. Because?
To: UCANSEE2
Not at all.....I have no objections to security searches at airports, courts, etc., etc.
You have me pegged 100% wrong.
