If you don't meet their test of humanity, you're dead. It's frightening. Who's next on the list?

The tens of thousands in this country who have mental capacities comparable to Terri's prior to her murder, who are now living in institutions where they receive medical care and therapy--even in cases where such efforts are useless--at taxpayer expense. Defining Terri as less than human, and thereby needing to be killed, is a step towards eliminating all of the retarded--and, after them, why not all the physically helpless, who might have normal intelligence but their bodies are useless? Then we should wipe out anyone with any kind of disability--those disabled are a big drain on our resources, very expensive, the money could be better spent elsewhere.

Yep~~~~They could start with this guy who is up for extermination according to Florida's "life support" laws.


TREATING STUDENTS ON THE SPOT. . . HMS nurses grab students on the run when activities are in high gear. During the annual art show, Anita Rickards (left) stopped Derrick in the hall to administer a tube feeding, while Colleen McGowan-Hardin did the same with Joey to keep the boys on schedule without interfering in their fun.

Here's another one ....dude....they would have a field day pronouncing death on people with limited cognitive ability that they could call already "dead".

There must be thousands of them.


Forget Me Not

Our problems are many & varied, our struggles are always uphill... I'm speaking for hundreds of children, so listen awhile if you will...

I want understanding- not pity, I wish you could treat me the same...

You wouldn't ignore the other children, at least you would ask them their name...

I know I can't answer to tell you, my face may seem empty & dead.... My body is twisted- but I AM alive, and there ARE thoughts in my head...

I will not be shut out from the world, I am a child & it is my right....

I'm not an object of pity- to be hidden away out of sight....

My parents see me through eyes of love, and not as others do.... They see the things I can achieve & I wish that you would too.......

As I ask you to Forget-Me-Not, I beg you to hear my plea...

If I could speak I would ask you.... to please look closer & see me.
