Which of Terri Schiavo's bodily functions necessary to process food were shut down?


She swallowed, yet Michael Schiavo and Greer forbade anything by mouth at threat of arrest. Her parents couldn't even put a spoonful of cool water in her mouth. How does that fit in your idea of God's purposes for that person?

Why should your religious beliefs - which are in direct opposition to the Catholic tradition the Schindler and Schiavo families followed - cause Terri Schiavo to starve to death?

Terri Schiavo could not chew or swallow FOOD. That is why the feeding tube was intubated fifteen years ago.

"Forbade anything by mouth at threat of arrest" could in fact be an extreme statement. Perhaps the hospice followed *protocol*. Are you aware of the protocol that follows removal of a feeding tube?

Why should a religious belief (the Schindler's personal interpretation of their Catholic religion) produce a hysterial knee jerk reaction and potentially create new laws to which I am opposed, morally, ethically and spiritually?
