Schiavo-like Woman in Recovery Miracle

A severely brain-damaged Kansas woman who couldn't talk or feed herself after a car accident two years ago has inexplicably regained those abilities, confounding the predictions of doctors.

Tracy Gaskill, 30, began speaking and swallowing about three weeks ago, family members and medical personnel told the Associated Press. Gaskill had suffered head trauma and internal injuries after her car rolled over on a highway in September 2002.

The greatest miracle is the number of brain-dead people employed by local governments.

Ohfortheloveofsanity.

There is NO death-cult. There is NO ONE here who wants to kill off the disabled and elderly. No one here is wracked with guilt. So lets just not go casually throwing the 'distortion' word around eh?

This issue is so poisoned with fanatics, I just shouldn't hope I'll ever see really interesting discussion of the issues here. Too bad, because they need to be discussed.

"They were literally hours away from removing the feeding tube, breathing device, everything -- and she came to."

Where's George Felos? She was denied her right to a peaceful and euphoric journey to the afterlife. How dare her selfish family not pull the feeding tube earlier. Another gross injustice for the ACLU to intervene.

"The courts went over this again and again. "

The only court that the 'facts' of the case were argued in was Greer's court.

All the other courts were 'appeals' courts, and appeals courts do not argue case facts, but argue judical PROCEDURE.

They only concluded that Greers 'procedure' was lawyful and not the 'merits' of the case.

Shame on them, and the deep thinkers on this website should realize Ms. Schiavo has met her maker and is in a much better place now.

Shame on you for supporting a Nazi style murder of a woman you claim wasn't here at all. If her brain was mush and she wasn't really here then how could she be in a better place now? She can't be in two places at the same time.

Why would it be necessary to kill her if she felt no pain and wasn’t really there? Her parents wanted to take care of her on the hope that she would someday get better. Why do you think it is a good thing that not only were they denied this chance, they also under a court order could not legally stop their daughter from being starved and dehydrated to death in front of their eyes.

You will meet your maker as well some day. Then you will see how wrong you are if you don’t see it before you die.

Yep, just keep telling yourself that.

I'm really tired of medical threads posted for the sake of making them about Terri.

They aren't about Terri. They are about the ethics of euthanasia. Terri is just one highly visible object lesson in that debate, as is the woman in this story.

Clearly, there are.

You know, Sword, when people defend the murder of Terri S. I have to believe that they have never had children. Your point is also very true. If she was not feeling anything, why kill her? Her parents were feeling plenty. Compassion would have been to give her to her parents so they could care for her. It's such a simple thing. Intentionally taking the life of someone is murder, and that is prohibited by the Ten Commandments.

"Distortion is what some of these people do best. Whatever it takes to promote their agenda of killing off the disabled and elderly." -- MizSterious

"What a horrible thing to write on a message board. Simply hateful and despicable."

No No...mizSterious is correct. You can't tell me there was no distortion in the Terri Schiavo death? Abortionists also practice distortion as an agenda to kill. Wake up!

Well, apparently, your definition of "interesting discussion" is "notes from people who agree with you." Ever stop to think you're not all that superior?

It was a different article but still important to show that people do come out of comas and survive head injuries.

Yes... I suppose they did cut into the rightful way of the Happy Gatherer.*

I read that he was nominated.
There are a lot of things printed, online or otherwise, that aren't true. Dr. H. was not nominated for the Nobel Prize by anyone qualified to nominate him. You will not find his name on any list of nominees for 1999 or any other year.

Oh, I see. You're Miss Cleo when you're not on Free Republic. Otherwise, how would you know what her wishes were? Her husband didn't even know until after he collected the money from his lawsuit. What was that--7, 8 years after the fact? You want to talk about horrible posts--yours takes the cake.

"I found this interesting."

It's not as rare as many think. Happened to my grandmother.
