CAUSE OF DEATH (What will be written on Terri's Death Certificate?)
NRO ^

Posted on 03/28/2005 4:35:57 PM PST by Uncledave

CAUSE OF DEATH [Robert P. George ] As the end nears for Terri Schiavo, one question remains: What will officials record on her death certificate as the cause of death? The truth is that the cause of her death will be malnutrition and/or dehydration. But will officials tell the truth? Or will they sugar coat it with euphemisms, or even record as the cause of death something that did not cause her death, such as brain damage resulting from a loss of oxygen? Scholars studying the practice of euthanasia in the Netherlands noticed from the beginning a tendency of some doctors to misrepresent the cause of death in the case of mercy killings (many of which, we now know, were and are performed without the consent of the person killed). Will the same thing happen here? Will truth be another victim in the Schiavo tragedy? Posted at 05:05 PM

They'll write heart failure or some such immediate cause.

Cause of Death = Stupid bulimic bimbo, didn't even have a living will, can you believe that? And those loony parents of hers couldn't even find a decent lawyer.

(I think that covers everything for the pro-starve-Terri crowd)

They will write what Felos tells them to write.

And then the Bush in Florida will tell MS he's sorry he lost his wife.

Undoubtedly it will be listed as "heart failure."

What, are you kidding?!?

Cause of death: The Bush Brothers.

Don't you know how to rewrite facts until it fits the liberal mindset? (LOL, but crying on the inside).

Heart failure caused by high levels of potassium.

"Unfortunate choice of spouse"?

Probably not an uncommon cause of death.

CAUSE OF DEATH (What will be written on Terri's Death Certificate?)

I really haven't been following this very closely. My next question however would be who's next? There are a LOT of people in our hospitals and asylums who can't feed themselves or have to be fed through a tube in one way or another.

This sets the precedent that all of those people can be killed as well.

I have a VERY bad feeling about this.

There are apparently plenty of doubts about whether she should be killed like this. The doubts should come down on her side, not his.

Killed by a crazy lawyer.

Check out the book "Litigation as Spiritual Practice" by George J. Felos.

CRAZY LAWYER

Manner of death: INVOLUNTARY SUICIDE (JUDICIALLY MANDATED)
Cause of death: EXTREME DEHYDRATION CAUSED BY JUDICIAL TYRANNY

It's quite simple.
cause of death= natural causes.
Until you figure out how to make a vegetible eat her vegetables.

How many times do I have to suggest reason, and rational thinking to people?
Terri is a veg. She can't THINK, smell, feel, she has no- NONE- sense of awarness. She cant- CAN'T!- swallow food even if mushed up and placed in her mouth.

She doesn't even know she's alive. She's nothing but a corpse, kept alive by forced feeding, simply because her brainstem still funtions and keeps her heart and organs working.

Watching the news, I see the press say "she's still alive, RESPONDING TO FAMILLY MEMBERS.
What utter nonsense. She's been laying in the same position for 15 YEARS! and has responded to NOTHING.
Why? Because her brain is gone.

Now, lets review the issue. Why should terri be kept alive?
Because, her parents want to keep her alive. She left no living will to make her wishes known. All they have is a hearsay statement which the court is using to carry out her wishes.
THAT is what this is about. It isn't because this living corpse is ever going to get better, or has any sort of life, enjoys anything, or even wants to be here. I sure wouldn't.

"Legal Murder by Blind Justice" =New Law of the Land.

I find it ironic that Greer is actually legally blind...i.e. handicapped? Does he need help to read? No more food and water for him.

(he's morally blind too...)

I don't even know where to start with you.....

I hope you don't ever end up being a useless eater, especially in Florida.
