Injury Report Prompted Schiavo Cremation Plans

Michael Schiavo decided to have his wife's body cremated after her parents' lawyers obtained medical records showing she had sustained broken bones, a nurse who cared for Terri Schiavo is now claiming.
"He wanted her cremated after the bone fractures and dislocations were found," nurse Carla Sauer Iyer, who cared for Terri in the mid-1990s while she was at the Palm Gardens Convalescent Center, told ABC Radio host Sean Hannity on Friday.
"He immediately went to court and [said he] wanted her body cremated at that time," she said, "after we got hold of the records that proved there were dislocations and fractures."
A 1991 report on a bone scan performed on Terri Schiavo states:
"There are an extensive number of focal abnormal areas ... These include: multiple bilateral ribs ... both sacroiliac joints ... both knees and both ankles."
Radiographs reveal "compression fractures" of the spine and right femur. ... "Compression fracture presumably traumatic," the report says.
Nurse Iyer said she recently contacted Palm Gardens to encourage co-workers who also cared for Terri to speak out - but said they have been muzzled.
"The administrator had gotten them together and they talked about what happened with Michael," Iyer told Hannity. "The people who have worked with Terri who are still there, they cannot talk to reporters - they would be terminated."

No, a US citizen is being given due process as an inanimate object rather than as a human being. She should have automatically reverted to her parent's guardianship when her "husband" moved to have her murdered by the courts the first time.

The only issue here is that Terri Schiavo is being euthanized without due process by an American court.
Or perhaps the issue is that Terri Schiavo is being euthanozed WITH DUE PROCESS by the American Court because the pro-euthanasia movement has managed to make substantial revisions to the law, especially during the past 5 years (and it does appear that Terri has been set up as the test case for these ghouls to prove their point and advance their beliefs than euthanasia of a young non-terminally ill handicapped person is preferable to a diminished life).
And this has occurred right under the radar screen of the American public, which is only now perceiving this outrage.

this whole thing looks more and more like blatant murder and a public that has been duped into complacency by a biased media Please check this out!

When Dan Rather used fake memos to smear President Bush, bloggers blew the whistle and the rest of the media recognized a journalistic scandal. But coverage of the dubious GOP Talking Points memo on the Schiavo case has been far different.
Perhaps realizing that another phony document scandal could totally sink the credibility of the so-called mainstream media, there is great reluctance to admit that journalists from ABC News, the Washington Post, CBS News and other news organizations were taken in again, and that the Democrats played a dirty trick on the Republicans in a matter of life and death.
The significance of the memo cannot be underestimated. It surfaced at a time when Democrats were on the defensive about what to do in the Schiavo case. Would they allow a federal review of the case, as is routinely done for convicted killers facing the death penalty?
What better way was there to turn the table on the Republicans than by charging that they really didnt care about Terri Schiavo but only wanted to fire up their conservative pro-life base? The GOP Talking Points memo fit the bill perfectly. It called the case a great political issue for the Republicans.
The entire matter just shows how evil and powerful and destructive to the country the old liberal/socialist media is!
The old media is the most evil and destructive force in this country.

The worst thing a person can lose is their self respect. The worst thing to lose is a soul (or conscience). I'd say next up for not good to lose are innocence, mercy and charity.
Just my opinion. I'll be praying over each glass of water I have today, that His will be done -- but you can bet I'll toss in some of my thoughts about witholding mercy and charity from some eartly players ;-)

In civil trials, "clear and convincing" is the same statndard that "beyond a reasonable doubt" is in a criminal case.
The federal courts got the law wrong. Greer got the facts wrong. And the judicial system is showing us its ass.

Are you sure that's authentic? If Terri had written that, wouldn't she have also mentioned that she doesn't want to be allowed to practice her religion? And what about the muscle contractures that she enjoys, thanks to her loving husband denying her therapy? She didn't say a word about wanting her teeth to rot out of her head from "lack of use."
The more I look at it, the more I think it is authentic. There's just a couple pages chapters missing out of the middle.

It's not about euthanasia, it's about Judicial-Fatwah FORCED euthanasia = Judicial Murder by Extreme Torture.
It's about the fact that DEATH BY STARVATION was used by the Nazis for anyone daring to escape the Crematoria.

Note both of Greer's own parents died in 1991.

That might help explain why he is now an ANGEL-OF-DEATH Judge (assuming he had to make the decision to 'let them die')
To: beyond the sea
George Felos, with the backing of Judge Greer, has intimidated the hospice staff (perhaps the entire industry) now that it is demonstrated that the Bench can dictate the smallest detail of medical treatment for a handicapped person (including demanding the withholding of treatment) and make life legal hell for anyone who does not obey the Judge, regardless of their conscience..
Remember that many of the people who cared directly and daily for Terri (and other profoundly disabled people) are practical nurses and aides, low paid jobs upon which these people depend to live. And that any "whistle blowers" or "trouble makers" are subject to finding themselves shunned from future employment in the nursing home community.
Even the doctors and administrators (including State employees and even the police) seem to have proven that they are willing to look away and sign off and let it pass rather than take on Goliath (the legal system, as typified by Felos and Greer)

A widely diverse group of people from all races, all religions and all political ideologies are forming to become strange bedfellows here. Felos thanked the ACLU publicly the other day for providing needed help for Michael's cause. And back in 1999 the ACLU gave an award (and a dinner) to Gerald Kogan, the former Chief Justice of the Florida State Supreme Court. Among other things, the ACLU was honoring his for his courage in supporting Physician Assisted Death.
After retirement from the Supreme Court Kogan accepted appointment as president of the Alliance for Ethical Government,, (with headquarters at the University of Miami School of Law), which is to create in Dade County an atmosphere of the ethical way government should be run.
