In the court (and courts) of life and death, a little 11-year-old Massachusetts girl named Haleigh Poutre could be the next Terri Schiavo. For those who have not heard the tragic story, Haleigh was beaten nearly to death last September, allegedly by her adoptive mother and stepfather. The beating left her unconscious and barely clinging to life.
Within a week or so of the beating, her doctors had written her off. They apparently told Haleigh's court-appointed guardian, Harry Spence, that she was "virtually brain dead." Even though he had never visited her, Spence quickly went to court seeking permission to remove her respirator and feeding tube. The court agreed, a decision affirmed recently by the supreme court of Massachusetts.
And so, no doubt with the best of intentions, a little girl who had already suffered so much was stripped by the Commonwealth of Massachusetts of even the chance to fight to stay alive. If she didn't stop breathing when the respirator was removed, which doctors expected, she would slowly dehydrate to death.

That's the way it works alright. Here, I threw myself at OFF's mercy. Practically put myself in bondage to make her snap out of it : ) What did I get? No pain! I would NEVER do that with BykrBayb, life is to short!

No matter how much the baddies would like this to go away, it's not going anywhere.
Abandoning Terri to die a torturous death was an early indicator of the wrong track this country is on.

"SAN DIEGO, CA – February 15, 2006- In a WealthTV exclusive, these legal powerhouses will appear for the first time together on national television. David Gibb [sic] III (attorney for the family of Terri Schiavo) and George Felos (attorney for Michael Schiavo) will join the renowned attorney Gloria Allred to discuss the fascinating case of Terri Schiavo and it’s [sic] affect [sic] on our Nation. ...
"This one-hour special will air on February 27th, the day after the premier of the two hour documentary The Terri Schindler-Schiavo Story."
Memo to Ohioan from Florida and BykrBayb: You're good at 'splainin' stuff. Maybe you could tell them how to spell Gibbs, when to put an apostrophe into "it's" and why they should have written "effect," not "affect." If you feel properly persnickety, you could also go after the punctuation mistakes :-)
Just after Hurricane Katrina devastated New Orleans rumors circulated that at least one hospital had euthanized patients during the mayhem. LifeSiteNews.com reported in September 2005, that an unnamed doctor admitted to a UK newspaper that such activities had taken place at Memorial Medical Center. In October another doctor at the hospital confirmed in a CNN interview that he suspected such activities and admitted he left the hospital saying he would rather abandon patients than actively kill them. Later in October hospital workers were subpoenaed for an investigation.

Bob and Mary Schindler, parents of Terri Schiavo, will be speaking at the city’s third annual Priest Appreciation Dinner, at the Clock Tower Feb. 24. The Schindlers are founders of the Terri Schindler-Schiavo Foundation, Inc., a group dedicated to ensuring the rights of disabled, elderly and vulnerable citizens against care rationing, euthanasia and medical killing. Joe Scheidler, founder of the Pro-Life Action League, will attend as an honored guest.
Fr. Brian A.T. Bovee, Rector of the Oratory of St. Mary and Priest of the Institute of Christ the King, will offer a sung traditional Latin High Mass prior to the dinner.

An excerpt:
But my disappointment and others' didn't end there. It only grew worse. Shortly after the ruling, Sen. Gordon Smith issued a short statement. "This case has run the full length of the American legal process, and the issue is now settled law," the Oregon Republican said. "Regardless of my personal position on assisted suicide, Oregon's law has been tested at every branch of our government, and the judgment of Oregon's voters has been affirmed. I accept the Supreme Court's decision, and Congress should do the same."

I believe an English professor wrote it, a good dozen years ago. For me, that was back when CompuServe was the outside world :-) It was easy enough to find the verse again on the 'Net.
If that story ever breeches MSM, there will be some very unhappy family members to deal with. Just months before Katrina hit, the state was audited and people were indicted for misusing funds meant to repair levees, etc. Someone on a long ago thread mentioned the possibility that Blanco's foot dragging in the aftermath was due to her fear of discovery. She was afraid that if FEMA and the government rolled in immediately, they'd unearth some pretty bad stuff.
I'm not typing too coherently this morning. Anyway, if I remember correctly, the person who made the comment(paraphrased), is from LA.
I don't know how anyone could have prevented the destruction, but dammit they knew this was coming and the hospitals should have been evacuated, with mandatory evacuation starting 48 hrs ahead of landfall for everyone else...with a brain that is. The Heineken guy is my desktop wallpaper. Someone made a parody ad for Heineken thanking New Orleans for making them number 1 ;-)

I saw this. So sickening! Whoever did this should go to jail for murdering those poor patients who were being taken care of, or so they thought!
I gather this WealthTV program fell through and has been cancelled. Given what I've heard, it would have been anti-Terri sandbagging -- good riddance. (Not too surprising with Felos teaming up with Allred, a hard-core leftist activist.) If you have other information on this, feel free to bring us up to date.
