Please let me know if you want on or off my Pro-Life Ping List.
Nope. No possible pro-euthinasia bias there! (/s)
The neurologist and the radiologist chosen by the patient's parents and siblings, the Schindler family, disagreed and suggested that Ms. Schiavo's condition might improve with unproven therapies such as hyperbaric oxygen or vasodilators — but had no objective data to support their assertions.
So why not try? She wasn't suffering, so there was all the time in the world to attempt to help her. Why rush her through a death sentence when she had committed no crime?
Even a mass murdering terrorist gets out of the death penalty if one person on the jury disagrees with it!!!
There's absolutely no excuse for her murder.
I read the propaganda piece. This is a Death Culture "doctor" who is hot to trot for involutary euthansia, as a bookend to his abortionist industry colleagues. All these "doctors" act in complete violation of basic human decency and the Hippocratic Oath.
Among other things he said, I found this to be interesting: "Although I did not examine her, from the data I reviewed, I have no doubt that Terri Schiavo was in a persistent vegetative state and that her cognitive and neurologic functions were unfortunately not going to improve."
Terri ping! If anyone would like to be added to or removed from my Terri ping list, please let me know by FReepmail!
Her family and the public should be reassured and educated that dying in this way can be a natural, humane process (humans died in this way for thousands of years before the advent of feeding tubes).
Not so. Thousands of years ago, patients like this wouldn't have survived the initial trauma. It is a uniquely modern dilemma that we can stabilize the health of someone who is so very seriously functionally impaired.
Doctors are profesionally offended by patients who have no prospect of improvement, and deeply offended to have their pronouncements questioned. This one is no different.
Oh, brother! This is so disgusting. They killed her and she wasn't even sick.
I read it and sent a nasty email to them. There are too many doctors out there that think they are God. They need to realize they are the instruments of God.
I already told my son, who is in an EMT and studying to be a paramedic that I don't want to find out he helped starve and dehydrate some poor helpless person. He started to laugh but then realized how dead serious I was. He promised he would never help in that type of situation.
Michael Schiavo's pet doctors are notorious patient killers. And so is the New England Journal of Medicine, which pioneered medical euthanasia and assisted suicide.
You can expect nothing else from this journal, which has long been in the forefront of the Culture of Death.
What the doctor appears to be saying is that this was a quality of life case in which the quality of the life didn't come up to his subjective standards. That's all.
He conveniently ignores the fact that there was not CLEAR evidence that Terri would wish to be starved. He conveniently ignores the fact that this was a precedent setting case to put the "Hearsay evidence" on the books for precedence.
He conveniently ignores the fact of Terri's religious beliefs that would not want her starved/dehydrated to death.
He also conveniently ignores the fact that Felos was very involved in the euthanasia movement, that laws had been systematically adjusted to allow hearsay evidence rather than proof. How? By an end-of-life panel which was given law making ability without oversight of the legislature. Euthanasists are on the panel.
So, just ignore what you wish and make a decision. Seems that is exactly how Terri was killed.
These are the medical 'facts' as understood by doctor Quill, but there are other qualified experts who disagree. So, as far as I am concerned, the premise to his analysis is suspect. That was the purpose of congress's instruction for the court to start over at square one to review the findings of fact, which were established by ONE man, Judge Greer.
All Lies. I can't stand it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Dr. Quill is a professor of medicine, psychiatry, and medical humanities and the director of the Center for Palliative Care and Clinical Ethics at the University of Rochester Medical Center, Rochester, N.Y.
Ethics folks LOVE death. They'd kill us all if they could.
