I really feel sorry for the old guy. He is close to the edge.

It's beyond inhumane what is being done to that famiy and our Country by 3 miserable people.

Could he be more specific? Which actions is he requesting, specifically?

[workerbee]

Schindler said he had "a grave concern that they'll expedite the process to kill her with an overdose of morphine."

Nah, they won't do that. Seeing how beautiful and peaceful she is and all. Knowing the way these ghouls have operated so far, I expect they'll "allow her to die" for as long as possible.

[TheDon]

This is the Florida legislature and Gov. worst nightmare come true. They made the law which is allowing the killing of the mentally disabled in Florida.

[yellowdoghunter]

FR does not seem like a very friendly place to The Schindlers. I know there are people here who have a direct line to God and have assured us that He has no problem with this.

Michael said Terri was bulimic.

A Bulimic person is mentally ill, therefore they are not of sound mind.

How can Terri's words, "No tubes for me," be binding if she was not of sound mind?

[NCC-1701]

Why is it that in EVERY article written about this case, the LSM ALWAYS refers to Terri as "severely brain-damaged Terri Schiavo"? Even though it's true, doesn't that do a disservice to her and any remaining hope for the nurishment to be restored? continued prayers for Terri and her family.

"I plead again that the powers that be don't give up on her," he said. "She has to be saved. She has to be saved. And it can be done. And we plead for her."

Lord have mercy.

The following is what we've been told by the MSM, Judges, and all others opposed to Terri's Right to Live:

1). She's brain dead.

2).She cannot feel pain.

3). Death by Starvation is painless, euphoric and dignified.

4). Terri has a morphine drip to dull her pain.

Going back to 1, 2 and 3, pain is not an issue.
But, 4 states that the doctors aren't really sure, are they?

Should not Govenor Bush issue a search warrant to investigate whether a violation of ethics by performing cruel and unusual punishment on a human being has occured because plainly Terri is in pain and feels every bit of it?

Or, are the doctors hastening Terri's death?

Perhaps, the hospice is actually running an experiment on her while she is starving?

Are doctors authorized by the Government to run experiments on human beings without their knowledge?

[Saundra Duffy]

I want to see a good ol' fashioned federal raid on that Hospice. Get her out of that hell hole!!!

Here's a question that I know has probably been asked on the forum, but when she dies and with all of the questions about the circumstances that brought her to this point, could there be a homicide investigation?

It seems that the local police (perhaps, the sheriff's office specifically) is in cahoots with Michael Schavio's side of the argument. I don't know the laws with regards to the autopsy (and I don't know what the autopsy would reveal), but the autopsy seems like it should be done.

Course, I think that the facts about how Terri came to be in this medical condition are going to die with her. Because, as I have read, there are only 2 ways in which she could have suffered the initial injury:

1. From an existing medical condition; or,
2. Being suffocated (or having the blood cut off)

And, from what I have read, there was no detected or even suspected medical condition that could have induced the injury that Terri suffered, based on her prior medical history. And, barring an undiagnosed medical condition, which is certainly possible, the 2nd option seems possible.

Not to mention that if she would have continued to receive the therapy she was receiving, she would have continued to progress, as she had already been.

But, up until this point, no investigtion, no conclusion, no nothing.

Michael Schavio wants Terri to die, whether by her own wish's or his. Either way, the truth dies with her.

[OK]

Felos said it is a beautiful thing.

He must live in a bizzaro alternate universe?

They're not the only people in the world who has had a child die. Can't they do anything privately?

nd it's incredible to see how she's acting."

Does anyone know if dehydration could be reducing the spinal fluid in her brain, and actually making her more alert?

She never got a shunt.

[jpsb]

The parents have said stop. When will the parents wishes finally be allowed either by the courts or by the public?

A sad ping to the cold hard heart breaking truth.

[MikeHu]

The lesson in all this is not to trust your fate to the legal system, medical system, political system -- and certainly not the media, if one wants a rational outcome. It means a need for greater self-sufficiency and self-reliance, which begins of course, by making better discriminations and decisions.

Generally, it is not a good idea to marry the first and only person one ever dates. And then when the marriage goes bad, it's not a waste of the years put into it, to get out of it, at whatever cost, or it could cost you your life. There are no guarantees of a happy outcome -- no matter what the demagogues promise. We all take our best shot and make the best from what we know.

Let her will to live, inspire us to make the most of our own lives.

God bless his sweet tormented heart.
