And decrease the surplus population [Schiavo now, who's next?]

Dr. Ronald Cranford, a neurologist whose medical opinion was key to a Florida judge ordering Terri Schiavo's feeding tube removed, was on TV this week candidly admitting he doesn't believe Alzheimer's patients have constitutional rights.

Who gave this bottomfeeder television time?

That's in "A CHRISTMAS CAROL", if that helps any, but has NOTHING whatsoever to do with what's happening in Florida now.

[Tuscaloosa Goldfinch]

I'm glad you were spared. I'm glad you got away.

[syriacus]

Your daughter sounds like a well-educated and empathetic young person.

Terri's death is waking the rest of us up to the fact that killing the non-terminally ill is the law of the land. Unlike the judicially legislated killing of the unborn, the killing of the non-terminally ill has been made the law of the land by our elected officials.

Florida is not the only state with laws that allow the killing of the non-terminally ill by starvation and dehydration. California also has such laws, and I'm sure other states do as well.

[syriacus]

That's in "A CHRISTMAS CAROL"

Yes it is. My husband read that to our children every year. And I've seen the Alastair Sim version of "Scrooge," on and off, for over 40 years. (We've got it in B&W as well as the glorious colorized version)

[Nevermore]

Well, to answer the question, "Who's next?", I'd have to point out that the Pontiff has a feeding tube stuck down his throat, and that he can't talk. And I'm sure that his reflexes aren't what they used to be.
So it looks like all that's needed is a less-than-reliable witness to step forward and testify that "he really never wanted to live that way" . . .
Lucky for the Pope, he doesn't live in America, I guess.

I hope people get curious about the laws of their states.

[syriacus]

Lucky for the Pope, he doesn't live in America, I guess.

Yes. Good news all around. The pope can be helped nutritionally and he can stay away from the USA.

[syriacus]

Thank you for telling us your story. I'm glad you are all right.

[syriacus]

Who's next ?? ... anyone who is economically inconvenient

And perhaps some rich older folks with greedy relatives had better put their wishes for hydration and nutrition on paper.

Terri Schiavo Before dehydration

God Bless you Terri in your hour of death

Let everyone who said your beautiful smile was fake be haunted by it for the rest of their days.

Some were murmuring about how long it took to make that video and I say thank God someone had the patiences to work at it......and if she was able to practiced everyday it would continue to talke less time and get better!

I was reminded of learning how to play an instrament or when one who had a stork or is paralized how many tried like hundreds to find the path again, even our blood vessle forum new veins when the can't move in that area......the brain cells even uses other parts of the brain when it needs to our body are a marvelous machine!

They are putting Terri to death by starving!

a video of terri opening her eyes in case you missed it!

I've seen ECERY single American and British film made of " A CHRISTMAS CAROL" and the Sims one ( which is NOT called " SCROLOGE" !!!!!!!!!!!!) is THE best, IMO. I've watched that version for 50+ years, since it came out. The colorized versions is, IMO, travesty and the color in NOT "glorious", it stinks!

I read "A CHRISTMAS CAROL" to my daughter, every single Christmas, from toddler hood on.

Thank you!

Thank you!

Hi, MarMema.

Cranford was speaking with Hannity about a week ago when he made the comment about PVS patients having no constitutional rights.

He was on Scarborough the other night and was sarcastically nasty to the young woman who was interviewing him. Scarborough took over the interview with a very weirdly behaving Cranford.

[syriacus]

The colorized versions is, IMO, travesty and the color in NOT "glorious", it stinks!

My husband didn't like the idea of a colorized version, but he came around to preferring the colorized version like I do.

the Sims one ( which is NOT called " SCROLOGE" !!!!!!!!!!!!)

Beg to differ

Scrooge (1951), Also Known As: A Christmas Carol (USA)

[nopardons]

When it was/is shown in America, it is called "A CHRISTMAS CAROL"; you said so yourself as does your link. So, unless you saw the original theatre showing, IN ENGLAND, you are wrong.

The colorization, of B&W films, ruins them, Do you know WHY Ted Turner went the colorization route ? He did so, because he felt that younger Americans were too stupid to be able to appreciate old B&W films. "nough said. :-)

Same thing happened to me. When he released his grip I was hysterical and went running down the street in my nightgown. A car drove by and asked me what was the matter. I said my husband tried to kill me. They looked at me like I was nuts. Now I am kind of nuts after what I went through.

I'm glad I'm divorced, because he would pull the plug on me.

Did you report your husband to the police? I didn't through all those years. I never heard of anyone calling the police on their husband. I thought about it a couple of times, but knew when he got out of jail, he would try to hurt me again maybe worse.

I had a flashback memory the other day. When he left me (I ended up cheating on him and tried to kill myself), he said shortly after when he came to the house about something, "I've got a feeling someday I'm going to wake up and it's going to be too late."
