"The courts will NOT be the answer to this."
I agree.
There is a solution, but fear and political correctness prevents us from rescuing Terri. Our treasonous politicians know this and continue to divide our Christian brothers and sisters in the name of the tyranny of multicultural and diversity.
They can do this by diluting our numerical/power majority through the importation of foreign cultures and people. Immigration from the 3rd world is the tool our brainwashed brothers and sisters and our enemies are using to change the makeup of our country.
Then they use the same scary tactics of division to reelect them over and over. And, the sheeple, gripped by fear wil continue to reelect them.
"I could apply stimulus to a frog that I removed the cerebral cortex from and get responses enough times on video you'd swear the brainless frog was intelligent once I got finished editing the video!"
Good, new meat.
So what you are saying is that even though there may be a possibility of a crime being committed, or denial of care, or the desire of parents willing to take care of their child, rather than review all of that and have recent medical examinations take place, you would let her starve to death anyway, because you can electrocute a frog and make it jump? Have you been smoking frog, wart breath? How about due process? This IS a right in this country. Vegetative state, or not.
There's been a camera fixed on her face for 15 years? That is news to me. Where on the web do I get to this TerriCam?
A feeding tube is not extraordinary means! In fact, if they had the proper resources, they could probably feed her orally.
But...everyone...FReepmail or post me with ideas about what to do with the money. I would like to donate it, whatever the amount, to an applicable charity. Let's think on it and let me know. This could be really good.
As a parent on my daughter's birthday, this is all I have to say to you;
Pray that one day a child of yours does not smile at you in exactly the same way and under the same circumstances.
Maybe they should try feeding Terri. I bet she could eat. What is so wrong with trying? Oh, I forgot, you said food and water in her mouth would choke her. We can't have that. If she choked, she might die........oh never mind.
Here is the way I look at it. I have two young daughters. If one got married, and was injured in a strange manner (supposedly by anorexia/potassium poisoning) and conscious but immobilized, I would want time to try and rehab her. However, if seven years later her so-called husband (i.e. Mister"...through sickness and health") claimed my daughter said she didn't want to live like this, although it wasn't written down, I would want the circumstances investigated and a full medical review, one last time. Especially if this guy moved on to another life and family. Why didn't he divorce her? What is to gain by putting her parents through this.
Why not let the parents have the option of a full investigative and medical review? Let them determine the extent of her injuries. And then maybe this issue can be reconciled. What is a couple more months if it has been 15 years?
Hey, I agree with you, Bubba. I'm on your side.
You know this for a fact or is this just your opinion? Why do you want so badly for Terri to die?
"What about what Terri wants! Who would want to be "alive" in her current state when there is a much better place called HEAVEN waiting. The parents are trying to prevent Terri from going to heaven because they don't want to let her go.
It seems to me like a lot of people fear the afterlife."
Just caught this ridiculous post.
Do YOU know what terri wants? Share it. Did you catch it on an email? Text-message? Felos mind-melt? Did her stuffed cat tell you?
There seems to be a tinge of mocking believers in your post. This is also about justice, due-process, and the realization that the Florida legislature adjourned for Easter break in the middle of this woman's starvation. Cowards. I guess they felt the polls weren't blowing their way.
LOL.
And they call us emotional. Besides look at the posts. They are a quicksand of confusion.
o go howl at your moon and dread the dawn.
Thats the same crap they told us about my mother in law. Thank God we didn't listen to the idiots or she would have starved to death. We fed her and she did just fine.
