I saw two doctors on Kasich's show last night. Both said they did not understand why an electrocephalogram had not been given, or an MRI. They said that the doctors had been "marginalized" in all this, and it would have been very easy to determine what was going on inside Terri's brain, if the court had really wanted to know. To me, it shows that Michael and the judge did not want to know the truth. They'd already made up their minds that they wanted to euthanize Terri, and they did not want these doctors throwing cold water on their decision.
Judgenfuhrer Greer: "If you dare do this, I will have you and your family tortured by starvation in the Third Reich and Florida way."
If I were Michael AND I were innocent, I would be ecstatic at the propect of an autopsy, since it would once and for all clear my name.
Blessed are the merciful, for they shall obtain mercy
The merciful are those who have compassion for others, who with all their hearts pity those who have fallen into misfortune or unhappiness, and who try to help them with good works.
Works of mercy are both physical and spiritual.
Bodily works of mercy:
1. Feeding the hungry.
2. Giving drink to the thirsty.
3. Clothing the naked.
4. Visiting those in prison.
5. Visiting the sick and helping them recover or preparing them for a Christian death.
6. Inviting strangers and foreigners and travellers into one's home and giving them rest.
7. Burying the dead.
Doesn't Florida have "sunshine" laws??
B U M P !
Amazing that there was no MRI. I just got back from the hospital where we had an appt. with the doctors treating my grandmother for alzheimers and that is one of the first things they did was give her an MRI. This is like her third one in 6 years maybe.
But I know some here at FR think I should just let her die of starvation once she is unable to feed herself, which, by the way, is not too far off. Me and my mom are up twice a day and always bring her a candy bar, for the first time last night, she did not know what to do with it.
Oh don't worry, Jeb Bush will make sure the evidence doesn't get incinerated. Won't he?
"You want me to get involved in this mess? What happens if I don't find the 'evidence' you guiys want? Then I'm as bad a Greer - a nazi death cultist satan worshipping member of a conspiracy'. So, my answer is not only no, but hell ******* no!"
And I wouldn't blame him in the least
*sigh* Nobody gives a rip what we think. How's that for resignation?
I don't think Judge Death is gonna give anyone a chance to find out any more about Terri than what's available now. I hope he has nightmares every day until his final descent into hell.
There are times when spamming with calls and emails produces the opposite of the intended effect. This is one of those times.
Thanks for info. Email sent with your letter.
According to a guy on Hannity, the medical examiner can refuse to issue a death certificate until he has done an autopsy. Apparently, he has that right. Hoping he does one.Think some new evidence may come to light.
That's fast becoming the urban legend of choice around here.
The "open question" survived the malpractice insurance company full investigation. They had millions at stake and left no stone unturned. No fault was attributed to Michael Schiavo, just Terri and the doctor shared the blame according to the jury.
Terri's body has been secretly and illegally twisted and turned by some nurses under the guise of giving physical therapy. They admit to this in their affidavits. They would be the prime suspects if any new healed over wounds were found.
Lord have mercy on Judge Greer's soul.
Lets waste some MORE resources millions aren't enough.

Why wait for an autopsy? How about hair, blood and fingernail tests to see what she's been 'fed' -- the sooner the better.
People have their dogs put down, they don't starve them to death. And those of us who don't like to see people suffer will be given the horrible choice of "do you want this person to suffer for three weeks and die, or die painlessly at the end of three weeks with a shot?" And knowing that "living" is off the table because liberal judges have more power than God, we'll go with the less painful way.
I do believe this is the reason liberals say social security isn't a problem. They're going to kill us. If "life support" is feeding someone, children are on the liberal chopping block too. And most the people in nursing homes, and many like Christopher Reeves. Some retarded people need help getting food. Does that count too? What about the unemployed? They couldn't get food if the rest of us didn't "help" them with unemployment? And what about those on welfare? And the disabled? Without "life support" of help getting food many of those people wouldn't make it.
Dems are right, no problem with social security.
