I still wonder what Felos carried into the hospice in that large case shortly before her death.

I also wonder what he carried out in it. The nightgown that Terri was allegedly wearing at the time of her death was later listed for sale on eBay. The auction was cancelled by eBay, because it violated their rules.

Quiz: deduce what legal principle the zombies agree on?

Whoever chooses death is the one who gets to decide.

[BykrBayb]

Perhaps he should try some other line of work, such as an encyclopedia salesman.

What makes you think he's qualified to sell all those facts? He's not even qualified to pick peaches. (He thinks they're vegetables.)

[Wampus SC]

"What makes you think he's qualified to sell all those facts?"

Good point. He's not qualified to sell facts. Maybe he can get a job selling lies. No, wait, there's no need to do that...

"Andrea's Fight Good News"

All right then. Good. The would-be killers lost one.

Note to her former Dr., all the bioethickers on the committee, all staff that was "just following orders", and all insurance employees who drive the death machine forward: - You tried to do an unconscionable thing. You got caught. You got stopped. You got exposed. Not so fast there - don't think that just because you got stopped that you're off the hook now. You're not. We fully intend to change whatever's necessary to insure evil deeds like the one you tried can't hide behind the law, and will be severly punished by the law. By your actions, each of you have chosen to become specific examples of why these changes must be made.

The white rose will give you no rest. Þ

"An update on the Zombie Jamboree on May 1"

Whoop! Whoop! Whoop! We have another addition to the lexicon!

Proposed definition: Zombie Jamboree (n) - A gathering of bioethickers where they pat themselves on the back, give each other awards, plan how to kill more people in more ways, and develop strategies to make us like it.

''Every day, the pro-life blogs continue to bash me, as they are outside today,'' Schiavo said.

Dear Preening Publicity-Boy Mikey:

Let it go already! Terri has been dead a year. Drop it. Just MoveOn! Hey, isn't that what your idiot buddies are always telling us? It should work for you, too. Of course it doesn't, and I'm sure you can't grasp the irony in that much less the hypocrisy.

Yes, Mikey, those meanie meanie pro-lifers are still on your case. Boo freakin' hoo. Go wipe your tears with a black robe.

We're going to stay after you. Remember, we told you way back that this isn't over just because you won a case, but rather it's just beginning and may never be over. It's simply a consequence of choices you freely made. You may think you're riding high, all protected and celebrated by a circle of evil people who favor killing the innocent and helpless for fun and profit - but it won't last. One consequence will be that one day good will prevail, and your name will become the most reviled word in all history, in all languages. Count on it.

You should have known from the start that the white rose will never, ever, give you any rest.Þ

[Wampus SC]

Suggestion - listen to "Substitute" and "Won't Get Fooled Again", by The Who.

[Wampus SC]

Then fit in your favored 8 day date with the 10-day legally prescribed countdown to killing ending Apr. 30.

Uh-oh. You've really done gone and done it now. Lemme tell ya. I really regret what has to come next, but it has to be done because the umpire has called strike three. Be seein' ya....

"Strike three."

"My reason is, people can't keep secrets."

That must explain why so very many German cryptographers went running to Winston Churchill to tell him how to break Enigma. It must explain why hundreds and hundreds of US Military personnel blab all over the place every day about classified projects they've been on. Right? :)

[Wampus SC]

"I am more cynical, remembering the atmosphere of that moment, and fully believed felos and dethnell and company carried out a ritual which may have included some removal of who knows what and secreting it away in a bag for later enjoyment."

I'll go with the experiences of the people who were there, who felt that atmosphere and reported feeling the palpable evil in the area. I was there, but I was getting updates that reported the same thing. I'll also go with the many unusual things that were happening at the time with Terri supporters. Also throw in for consideration the occult weirdness Felos gets into in his book.

[Wampus SC]

"I believe he had a camera in that bag and videod Terri's death. If the Schindlers had tried to take anything in that hospice they would have been in big trouble but not Felos."

Nothing would surprise me at this point. The way he was carrying it looked to me like it was too heavy to be empty.

[Wampus SC]

Don't need a tinfoil hat to know that some fool will try something evil on that day, just because he'll think it's cool.

Safe, for Now

As a result of that meeting, it appears as if, for now, Clarke is safe. According to Texas Right to Life, “Dr. Matthew Lenz, a physician with privileges at St. Luke's, transferred Andrea's care into his own hands. His goal is to nurse Andrea back to a point where she can be transferred to another facility for further rehabilitation.”

Yet, again, it is true that Andrea's condition is very fragile, and she must undergo gallbladder surgery in the coming days.

Trend toward Death in Medical Community

Writing in the National Review Online, Wesley J. Smith discusses the disturbing theory of “futile care,” which is quickly gaining hold here in the United States:

“The idea behind futile-care theory goes something like this: In order to honor personal autonomy, if a patient refuses life-sustaining treatment, that wish is sacrosanct. But if a patient signed an advance medical directive instructing care to continue — indeed, even if the patient can communicate that he or she wants life-sustaining treatment — it can be withheld anyway if the doctors and/or the ethics committee believe that the quality of the patient's life renders it not worth living.”

Andrea's Fight update (getting more help)

From North Country Gazette...

HOUSTON----Andrea Clark's treatment team at St. Luke's Episcopal Hospital met Tuesday to further discuss the 54-year-old woman's condition and treatment plan.

Dr. Matthew Lenz, a physician with privileges at St. Luke's and who became involved in the heart patient's case at the request of Texas Right to Life, officially became Andrea's primary physician on Tuesday. According to a Texas Right to Life spokesman, Dr. Lenz has taken a personal interest in protecting Andrea's life with a goal to nurse her back to a point where she can then be transferred to another facility for further rehabilitation.

From Life News...

Houston, TX (LifeNews.com) -- There is good news for Andrea Clark and her family in the rapidly changing euthanasia case involving a Texas "futile care" law. The Clark family reports that Andrea has received a new doctor who is not planning to give up on her medical care and treatment.

With proper credits where credit due...

Meanwhile, Andrea's sister Melanie Childers told the North Country Gazette newspaper, "Because this new doctor took over her case, it is all stopped. I'm so happy, I don't know what to think or say or do."

"Not only is my sister not going to be put to death by St. Luke's Episcopal Hospital but it also looks like she is recovering from her heart surgery, finally," Childers told the Gazette.

Some people just can't shut up. As egregious as his behavior was, one might think he preferred to shrink into the background. But no, inflated with his ghoulish success he gloats to a fawning audience once again. Do I sound biased?

The judge who ordered Terri Schiavo's feeding tube removed last year will be the keynote speaker Thursday at the Law Day luncheon.

Circuit Judge George Greer of Pinellas County will speak before some 200 lawyers at the Escambia/Santa Rosa Bar Association event that is part of the local Law Week observance.

Community State Partnership (C-SP) Programs There are 24 state initiatives that are all publications of the National Program Office (Myra's Bioethics Center) for the Community-State Partnerships to Improve End-of-Life Care (C-SP) program, funded and sponsored by the RWJF, and in cooperation with Last Acts, before their demise. Later Initiatives are partnered with Partnership for Caring. Keep in mind assisted suicide in Oregon was already voted into law at the time these initiatives were written and published.

Diane Coleman steps in on the "Futile Care" Statute in Texas. Also a reminder on the underreported case so far of Ms. Vo's Fight...

Austin, TX --The publicity surrounding the struggle to save the life of Andrea Clark - sentenced to die under Texas' "Futile Care" Statute - has brought attention once again to little known hospital policies regarding so-called "futility", Diane Coleman says, president and founder of the national disability rights group Not Dead Yet which opposes the legalization of assisted suicide and euthanasia.

There is also a second case in Texas right now that hasn't gotten as much attention involving a Vietnamese woman named Yenlang Vo, in Austin, TX. Ms. Clark is in a hospital in Houston.

Fair and balanced indeed! The media is ablaze with AP cookie cutter copies of the same bloviations of Judge Greer. Here is one of the stories copied and swallowed without flinching by the rest of the media:

The Florida judge who presided over the Terri Schiavo case and ruled her feeding tube should be removed told a bioethics symposium that lawmakers are ill-equipped to make right-to-die decisions.

Pinellas County Circuit Judge George W. Greer, in brief remarks at the University of Pennsylvania on Monday, said that 30 state and federal judges painstakingly reviewed the many volumes of testimony and evidence submitted in the divisive case.

Judge: Right-To-Die Choices Not Lawmakers'

Meanwhile the lone voices in the wilderness print something a bit different. No AP to pick up stories like this...

Philadelphia, PA (LifeNews.com) -- The local judge responsible for authorizing Terri Schiavo's painful 13-day starvation and dehydration death bashed Florida lawmakers at a bioethics conference for passing a law that allowed Governor Jeb Bush to step in and save her life. Circuit Court Judge George Greer said legislators should not be involved in end of life decisions.

Speaking at a bioethics forum sponsored by the University of Pennsylvania, Greer claimed state legislators are unable to make quality decisions about important issues surrounding medical treatment for the disabled or terminally ill.
