[Former Fetus]

If Scott dies, I lay the blame at the feet of the (dis)Honorable Judge Greer who opened the door for legal murder in Florida. Didn't we learn anything from Terri's case? Whatever happened to "never again"? Lord, have mercy!

[SolomoninSouthDakota]

What goes around comes around. We men should never have stood back and let Michael kill his wife. This is going to get nasty.

[CindyDawg]

Well if the mother has guardianship and all is as she says, I would sure get him out of Florida before June.

[YOUGOTIT]

Just like the Nazi this will continue until anyone who is disabled will be able to be murdered.

[trisham]

Despite Eliza's desire to end her husband's life, Patton says her son speaks a limited vocabulary, answers yes or no questions with hand signals, and can tell basic factual information about himself such as his former school and hometown.

****************

I wonder if the same arguments will be made regarding this man's quality of life, and the same assertions made that one wouldn't want to live in this condition. We shall see.

[NavVet]

So now we're killing people that can still communicate.

It didn't take long to slide down that slippery slope.

[Tired of Taxes]

I was behind the Schindlers 100%, but this story is even more compelling!

[downtoliberalism]

This time they won't need a judges order, it's a womans choice, right?

It's just fortunate that your mother made the right choice.

[heartwood]

I do wonder at the likelihood of a man with a severe head injury recalling how he got it. The blow was from behind, too. I am NOT in favor of the starving of brain-damaged people but there is a little question in my mind as to the mother's credibility. If she makes up stories in an attempt to gain guardianship she is likely to hurt her son because all her testimony as to his responsiveness will be cast into doubt.

[ElkGroveDan]

Eliza claims Scott was backing up and fell over the family dog in the kitchen and hit his head, causing the disabling injuries. However, Scott has communicated to his mother that Eliza struck him and caused his current incapacitated state.

Sounds EXACTLY like Terri's situation.

Anyone have a picture of this woman for the gallery of spouse killers?

[newgeezer]

If someday my wife wants to end my life, I sure hope people let her do it.

I guess I should sign a Health Care Power of Attorney to make sure no one can stop her.

[DakotaRed]

<> And the questions arise from where? Wasn't this the crux of Terri's case, determining *her* wishes?

[Rutles4Ever]

What is it with Florida?

[Salvation]

Ping!

Case Similar to Terri Schiavo's Has Wife Deciding Her Husband's Fate

Despite Eliza's desire to end her husband's life, Patton says her son speaks a limited vocabulary, answers yes or no questions with hand signals, and can tell basic factual information about himself such as his former school and hometown.

Not similar at all, but don't let facts get in your way.

"The doctors say that his injuries are not consistent with such a fall and believe the severe head trauma was caused by a blow to the head," Patton told the Empire Journal newspaper.

Well there you go. Facts don't matter to the Empire Journal. Of course also consider that the person in question has been in this condition for less than a year versus 15 years and a much better condition at that. But take the Enquirer's Empire Journal's word for it and run with that.

[television is just wrong]

Why are all these cases in Florida???

[Marysecretary]

That's right. We unleashed a 'spirit of death' across this nation with the Schiavo case. We will see more and more death in the form of suicides, murders, and things like this. Our country needs to be prayed for! MERCY is needed from God to save us against this culture of death.

[cookcounty]

A case similar to that of Terri Schiavo has a Florida woman holding her husband's fate in her hands. Schiavo's family is calling on Jacksonville resident Eliza Thomas to allow her husband to live."

Similar?---so Eliza Thomas is living with another man and asking a judge to order that her current husband be deprived of food and water even without a tube, and money has been provided for his care, but Eliza is using up that money on lawyers to get her first husband terminated?

[knittnmom]

While their guardianship is still valid, they need to get him out of Florida! Maybe he'd have a better chance of survival in the Dominican Republic - even given lower quality health care - than in the US with the court system deciding life and death matters.

[Future Useless Eater]

Ping to this newer 'Scott Thomas' FORCED EXIT article.

I have included names from a recent Ohioan from Florida's pinglist. (If anyone knows what happened to her, or if she is all right please let everyone know)

An older article on Scott Thomas was discussed over the weekend HERE, with over 280posts.

Please MINIMIZE the FLAMING on this thread!
If you must, please take any 'heated' discussions THERE
FUE

[MarMema]

Lord have mercy on this country. I am thinking more and more seriously about getting *out*.

Evil is like a cloud of pollution settling in over the entire country. And expanding exponentially.
