I give you 5 minutes before your thread is hijacked by a liberal from DU.
Just a question...if Michael so so convinced of Terri not wanting to "live that way" why did he wait until '98 to ask to have the feeding tube removed?
There is no moral difference between withholding treatment, food or water which results in a person’s death and shooting them or giving them a lethal injection. No moral difference at all.
To those who say, but it is a natural and beautiful thing, one can only say, “For you.”
When one withholds treatment, food or water, one is actively killing a human being. No more, no less.
The “natural death process” Terri Schiavo is being killed with is a horrible painful ordeal, lasting so far eight days. It is not painless, at least they are now giving her morphine. By the way, did anyone ask, "Why the need for morphine for a vegetable?" No, no one asked because they know the answer, she is brain damaged, but concious, aware, sentient, a live human being, not a vegetable. Her lawyer testifies she asked to live, but the judge said, "You should have asked three days ago." An "officer of the court" said she asked to live, the judge blew him off. Why, because she must die to maintain the system and feed the deatheaters. There is no justice in a legal system, except the odd mistake. Too bad Terri must die to satisfy the deatheaters and the blind judge.
Why is this going on? Because the legal system condemned her to death in absentia, a “judge” on a mission, a deatheater. No court will overturn his decision, it would adversely affect their “god status.”
We reap what we sew, more or less. Terri married outside her own belief system, she married a deatheater and is paying for her mistake with her life.
The President, the Congress and the Governor claim to see the Terri Schiavo case as wrong. It is not a “right to die”, but a right not to be murdered issue. Unfortunately, they are all powerless against an all powerful blind Circuit Court who rules to kill. Powerless or unable to act due to paralysis. If they are, in fact, powerless, we do not need them, do we? If they are unable to act due to paralysis, we do not need them, do we? A real man would act.

Mohammed Farah Aideed: employed starvation to achieve his political ends. Ironically, in early August 1996, Aideed was shot twice, one of the bullets passing through his stomach. Aideed lingered for several days, and although accounts of his death vary, it is believed he would have been unable to eat.

Congrats! You made it. ;)
I don't know when Michael hooked up with Felos - but Felos is supposedly a former member of the Board of Directors at the Hospice, and Felos is a known advocate for the right to die movement.
Do you advoocate speeding the death process by human intervention?
Since 1995, Michael Schiavo has lived with a girlfriend, Jodi Centonze, with whom he has two children. 14 Michael remains legally married to Terri, as well as her guardian.
Mr. Schiavo is breaking Florida law.
From the Florida Statutes:
FS798.01 Living in open adultery.--Whoever lives in an open state of adultery shall be guilty of a misdemeanor of the second degree, punishable as provided in s. 775.082 or s. 775.083. Where either of the parties living in an open state of adultery is married, both parties so living shall be deemed to be guilty of the offense provided for in this section.
It was after the settlement that Michael first claimed that Terri had previously stated that she didn’t want to be kept alive by artificial means — a statement he never mentioned during the malpractice trial.As guardian, Michael Schiavo controls the $700,000-plus trust fund awarded for Terri’s care. As of fall of 2003, Michael Schiavo’s attorneys reported that the trust fund was down to $50,000, with more than $430,000 going to “pay for court costs associated with her husband’s legal battle to remove his wife’s feeding tube.” Meanwhile, Medicaid helps to pay Terri’s $5,000-a-month nursing costs at a hospice in Pinellas Park, Florida.
WE KEEP TRYING & PRAYING - SHAME ON THE JUDGES
"Mr. Schiavo is breaking Florida law."
Have you forgot, we are a nation of laws?????
Well, some laws, anyways. Laws seem to only matter when it's convenient for the social elite.
Load of BS. More like half the 'facts'.
This is most awesome - and so appreciated. Thank you.
You may be next..
No, quite the contrary. But, I see no moral difference. If you don't feed someone and they die, you are every bit as responsible as if you put a bullet in their head. Just less kind to them.
Just a question...if Michael so so convinced of Terri not wanting to "live that way" why did he wait until '98 to ask to have the feeding tube removed?
The nations first court order for active euthanasia was issued on Feb 25.....and the Florida SC, US Appellate Court, and even the SCOTUS have blessed it. Worse yet, the US Congress, the Florida Legislature, and both Bush brothers have blessed it, too, unless one or the other of them grows balls in the next few days.
When the public realizes what has actually occurred, all hell will break loose. I look for it to begin as soon as Bush v Schiavo is cited in non-Schiavo suits in the future. As the media and talking heads realize how deliberately and methodically this was played out, the uproar will be tremendous.
One should always watch the magicians hands....not what he suckers you into watching.
ORDERED AND ADJUDGED that absent a stay from the appellate courts, the guardian, Michael Schiavo, shall cause the removal of nutrition and hydration, from the Ward, THERESA SCHIAVO, at 1:00 p.m. on Friday, March 18, 2005."

It is court-ordered euthanasia, pure and simple....Schiavo's anxiousness to do it doesn't matter, it is a direct Court ORDER to Schiavo to do it.
