Bid to save Schiavo all but finished

By Mitch Stacy
ASSOCIATED PRESS
Published March 27, 2005

PINELLAS PARK, Fla. -- Terri Schiavo's parents kept watch over their dying daughter yesterday after another round of losses in the courts, and their attorneys acknowledged the fight to reconnect the brain-damaged woman's feeding tube was nearing an end.

I like that head on Pontius Pilate's body, it's very fitting for Governor Jeb Bush.

Jeb is a Catholic convert, and his fellow Catholic Terri Schiavo has been denied Easter Sunday Communion by a civil 'judge'. That, Mr Bush, is a blatant denial of her civil and religious rights. Find your manhood Jeb, and resuce that poor dying creature before many more of us find ourselves being denied our civil and religious rights by these pagans in black robes.

It just occured to me that Elian Gonzales was forceably taken by the Feds in 2000 - the day before Easter.

Stem cells and cloning, New Scientist
A small company in London, UK, claims to have developed a technique that overturns scientific dogma and could revolutionise medicine. It says it can turn ordinary blood into cells capable of regenerating damaged or diseased tissues. This could transform the treatment of everything from heart disease to Parkinson's.

If the company, TriStem, really can do what it says, there would be no need to bother with conventional stem cells, currently one of the hottest fields of research. But its astounding claims have been met with bemusement and disbelief by mainstream researchers.

TriStem has been claiming for years that it can take a half a litre of anyone's blood, extract the white blood cells and make them revert to a "stem-cell-like" state within hours. The cells can be turned into beating heart cells for mending hearts, nerve cells for restoring brains and so on.

The company has now finally provided proof that at least some of its claims might be true. In collaboration with independent researchers in the US, the company has used its technique to turn white blood cells into the blood-generating stem cells found in bone marrow.

When injected into mice, these cells migrated to the bone marrow and generated nearly all the different types of human blood cells, the team will report in the January edition of Current Medical Research and Opinion (vol 20, p 87), a peer-reviewed journal.

Proof required
"I would be extremely sceptical of these findings and would need more proof," says stem cell expert Evan Snyder of the Burnham Institute in La Jolla, California, whose response is typical of many scientists New Scientist contacted.

"I was extremely sceptical," says team member Tim McCaffrey, a cardiovascular researcher at George Washington University in Washington DC, who was asked to evaluate TriStem's claims. "They did it in front of my eyes with my own blood," he says. "It's stunning."

The difference is we comply with the law and they don't.... That's why I'm a Republican

"I was just following orders," is not a legitimate defense. If the law itself is immoral, you are obligated not to follow it.

Well put.

I guess some think the new rule is "When THEY break the law, throw the book at 'em; when WE break the law, we should be treated special because we're the Special Ones."

Oh, wait, that's the Liberal playbook... Hmm, seems it is finding its way into many "conservative" homes these days.

Janet Reno had balls; while Jeb is a eunuch. So much for the GOP; it is looking not-so-grand these days.

And a corollary is if no law exists to protect the innocent, and the innocent are being harmed by the lack of actions of the governors, then the governors should be tied to an anchor and dropped in the Bermuda Triangle.

The President isn't following orders, he is respecting the laws of Florida. The main problem here is Terri's wishes, not the law. Judge Greer decided the case in favor of Michael Schiavo and ruled that it was Terri Schiavo's wish not to be sustained by artificial means.

I'm completely in the corner of the Schiavo family here, but I'm shocked at how many people here on FR think it's OK to ignore the law just because it suits our needs.

Get a grip, The Florida Legislature let us down and the Florida Judiciary is not much different from the rest of this countries runaway Judiciary

I failed to feel the great euphoria that many did following the election. Guess I'm just an eternal pessimist (or a realist).

Yup, An army of feds was ordered by Janet Reno to kidnap a little boy by gunpoint. All of this was so he could be sent back to Castro in Communist Cuba. Too bad our Attorney General can't be as creative and send in a couple of feds to save a dying women being put to death by a husband with questionable motives! And yes it was also on Easter.

When Terri dies are you going to post that picture with God's face pasted in?

So you believe this murderous scumbag judge is a psychic?
And so all Jeb can do is look anguished, hold his palms up, shrug his shoulders, and say "there's nothing I can do" as he bows down before his master, the judge, like a puppy dog who only hopes his master won't hit him on the nose with a rolled up newspaper.

Pathetic.

By the way, I read that Terri's tongue is swollen and bleeding and that her eyes have begun to bleed, too. Sounds positively euphoric.

I am all for following the law, but I would not carry out orders to starve and dehydrate a sentient person to death when her entire biological family opposes it, at the request of a man who wants her dead to suit his own purposes, regardless of whether a probate judge has decreed that this is what the law requires.

Well, I guess I know for whom I won't be voting ever: Jeb, the spineless one. I guess his political career was worth more then a life.
