As I am finding out more -- Hugh Finn was COMATOSE -- Terri ISN'T.
"The facts in the case are relatively straightforward. Hugh Finn, a popular, 44-year-old news anchorperson in Louisville, Ky., ruptured his aorta in 1995 in a traffic accident. The resulting anoxic damage to his brain left him, like Karen Ann Quinlan and Nancy Cruzan, irreversibly comatose."
Hugh's parents did offer to care for him, repeatedly.
And since you asked, Hugh was in much better shape cognitively than Terri. He spoke until his shunt became clogged and his wife refused to allow the physicians to repair it.
Hugh was never comatose. Never.
jeb does not want to call patriotic militias to get after those cops rioting at the hospice at the service of crooked arse no good greer(fools).
its not pc, you know, and the Schlindler family might not be supporting people killing cops over this, makes them look bad.
Oh well, its their call to save her or not
"Hugh was never comatose. Never."
Oh, so the media was lying even way back then, what a surprise.
And they lied about Nancy Cruzan and Christine Busalacchi as well.
Hugh's daughter has posted here on several occasions.

Thomas More Law Center: Schiavo Authority(PDF)
It has been reported that under the auithority of Governor Bush that FDLE and DCF were enroute to remove Terri BUT for reasons unknown decided to terminate the effort. WHY???
I have had my thinking cap on and would suggest that Governor Bush as executive is responsible for the common good of Florida and the protection of all citizens including Terri. As such, he is between a rock and a hard place... He does not wish an armed conflict between Pinellas Park police officers and FDLE -potential worst case scenario would be for several police and bystanders to possibly be killed and injured in an effort to rescue one innocent woman...
I would suggest that IF the Pinellas Park police officers were not there that Governor Bush would act. Additionally, IF Governor Bush had authority over the Pinellas Park police officers he would order them to stand down and he would act.
Therefore, in my opinion, the question is HOW can Governor Bush gain authority over the Pinellas Park police officers? Any ideas???
"The two legal opinions were prepared and delivered to Governor Bush in October of 2003, after Schiavo's feeding tube was removed. Bush through his aides requested the legal counsel at the time, but instead chose to work with the Florida legislature to pass emergency legislation to prevent the death of Schiavo. "
Thank you for posting. This proves that Gov. Bush did not do all he could to save Terri. The arguments for the authority of the governor were presented to him over 2 years ago and he did nothing.
Oh no! What will Pusillanimous Hugh Hewitt say!
On Monday, March 28, 2005 at approximately 11:00 am est, seven American citizens met with Representative David Simmons, Chairman of the Florida House Judiciary Committee to A. urge that our leaders save Terri's life and to declare to Representative Simmons that we didn't believe all possible had been done to save an innocent, woman from a painful, gruesome death by dehydration and starvation as ordered per a guardianship judge who lacks compassion. A guardianship judge should be compassionate whether the ward is Terri Schiavo or Jane Doe. B. demand that an exploratory committee be created regarding the impeachment of George W. Greer, Sixth Circuit Court, Pinellas County, Florida. (details being withheld at this time to protect the integrity of the process.) C. demand that Guardianship Laws in Florida are revisited In total to protect all Floridians and their families from bad law.
End of Press Release.
Thanks for the update.
So they are considering impeaching Judge Greer, but leave Terri to die. What a bunch of jerks.
It's time to play the blame game. Don't get me wrong, Judge Greer needs to be impeached, but it goes higher than that. In the meantime, Terri is suffering a horrible death.
They've lowered the bar with their attitude that a lowly Circuit Court Judge trumps a Governor.
As we found out, Gov. Bush asked for the opinion of the Thomas More Law Center and was told in 2003 that he had the authority to save Terri.
