PINELLAS PARK, United States (AFP) - As a brain-damaged woman passed her 12th day without food or drink in a hospice here, Terri Schiavo's parents are planning to again petition the US Supreme Court to intervene, their lawyer said.
As a brain-damaged woman passed her 12th day without food or drink in a hospice here, Terri Schiavo's parents are planning to again petition the US Supreme Court to intervene, their lawyer said. Bob and Mary Schindler have been rebuffed by a series of courts in recent weeks and days, their latest setback came Wednesday after the 11th US Circuit Court of Appeals rejected their appeal to reopen the case into whether their daughter's feeding tube should be reinserted.
But the woman's parents appear set to continue waging their legal battle.
"I can confirm for you that we are now preparing to file an appeal with the United States Supreme Court," the Schindler's lawyer, Steve Kluth, said in a statement issued by his office.
However, the Schindlers have already been rebuffed once by the US' highest court in Washington on March 24.
Terri Schaivo's feeding tube was removed March 18, triggering an intense legal battle and a right-to-life political storm that sparked the involvement of the US Congress and US President George W. Bush.
Bush signed legislation backing a federal court review of Terri's case -- she has been in a persistent vegitative state for 15 years -- but the federal courts have so far declined to intervene on her behalf.
Why is it that the only people who Terri seems aware of is the people who want to keep her "body" alive? Coincidence? Wishful thinking?
Naaaa. Maybe its because those that dont want her alive, bail out of the room quickly after a quick cup of coffee after all the while thinking How much longer am I going to have to deal with this scene?
Does she just happen to ignore the doctors and everyone who is able to save her life?
Naaaa. They want her dead too. Health Insurance is probably running low.
In the new video that is being shown on the news, why isn't she reacting to the man's voice.
See previous post about no water and food for 13 days.
According to the parents she is still responsive. I smell some liars who want people to feel sorry for them and donate money and get some book deals. They have been proven to be liars! And everyone is attacking Micheal! He doesn't have any money left from the settlement.It was spent on her medical bills.
Then if he has nothing to hide, plug the tube back up and let the investigation proceed.
Oh, you are a frog, not a troll???
And you are STILL a TROLL!
"And you are blind. Sickeningly blind!"
Then I guess if he is in your words "sickingly blind", and can't respond to a baloon moving in front of him, its time to canx ole fred's food chit, eh compadre?
I am going out on a limb here maybe, but with that statement I assume you failed your med courses?
THEY were still alive, not just their bodies.
So, our level of comprehension is what makes us human?
What about newborn babies? Severely retarded people? Alzheimer's patients? Since they have little comprehension and they are not as smart and/or responsive as you and I are, should they be starved and dehydrated in order to put them out of their misery (not that they know they are in misery since they aren't human, right?).
"And you are blind. Sickeningly blind!"
Somebody let Peter Lorre in here?
time for ol fred to go. he's outlived his usefulness.
Is that why I see Michael Shiavo all over the media doing interviews and all the money (for Terri's care) was spent on lawyers to kill her off?
I'll give you the answer, noob...perhaps not the one you are fishing for:

Unless you have posted under different names, which is quite possible too.
If they haven't put them out, how do you know what is on them? Find a website that will host 200 hours of video. And then find people to sit through all 200 hours.
Be reasonable, please. If there is ANY indication that she is responsive even sometimes, why, why, would you want to starve and dehydrate her so she dies?
A human being, regardless of their mental capabilities, should not be starved and dehydrated so they die. Don't you think it would be kinder to just put a bullet in her head? Why don't we do that instead of the long and slow torture?
Is being alive having a certain IQ?
You know, of course, that the trials have ALL been based on ONLY the facts found in the first trial all those years ago.
Wolfy here claims to have seen ALL the video. If so, he/she is an insider.
If not, he/she had no friends in high school and is trying to spin up some folks while sipping on a Fanta. I'm bored responding to this tepid drivel. How do we give this sanctimonious gargoyle the boot?
