Terri Schiavo's husband buried her cremated remains in a Clearwater cemetery Monday, inscribing on her bronze grave marker that ``I kept my promise.''
David Gibbs, an attorney for the woman's parents, Bob and Mary Schindler, said inscribing the marker that way was a nasty political statement by Michael Schiavo, who held the service and burial Monday before telling her family.
``Obviously, that's a real shot and another unkind act toward a grieving mom and dad,'' Gibbs said.
After earlier announcing plans to bury his wife's ashes in their native Pennsylvania, Michael Schiavo instead interred them at Sylvan Abbey Memorial Park in Clearwater, near Tampa, his attorney, George Felos, said in a short news release Monday.

I'll take your word for it.
There are some types of pain that require “multi-modality”.
When morphine and other opioid analgesics are prescribed for the management of pain, the dose is sometimes raised to be sure that pain is well-controlled 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Opioids given to relieve pain generally do not lead to the development of tolerance. As a disease, like cancer, progresses, more opioid may be needed to control the pain on a continuing basis.
Go for it.
I'll take 2000 years of Christian truth than The Nation and Marx any day.
I have a relative who is an internal medicine doc, and I've asked him about these allegations that morphine is used to hasten death. He told me that a morphine drip is usually used only with patients who are very near death, and they are monitored. If their respiration starts to slow down (morphine is a narcotic, which certainly can suppress respiration in overdose), the morphine dosage is reduced. Maybe there are cases where it's been used to hasten death, but he didn't know of any.
Chapter and Verse, please?
I speak for myself. I am interested in this case because I think the wrong outcome was reached, and I dont give a hoot how you choose to live or die.
Get it?
According to the law, the outcome of this case was not "unjust". Put it in writing HOW you want to die or live, and if it's not in writing, PRAY that the courts will believe your spouse concerning your wishes...(Although because of this case, I'm pretty sure they will :)

Entirely too sensible :-)
Care to explain how the use of defibrillators and feeding tubes are the will of God, while pain medication is not?
I think it's too simple to grasp, really :-)
Good question...
Thanks for that information.
