Ronald "Dr. Humane Death" Cranford
It's a pretty safe bet that he's facing justice now. He'd have been better off facing it here, learning a lesson, and repenting. Too late now.

I remember Cranford complimenting Terri in that sham 42-minute examination he gave her. He said, "You can see a little, can't you," or words very similar. Now it is she who can see and he who is in the dark.
P.S. There goes Dr. Thogmartin's speculation that she was cortically blind; while alive, anyway. I wonder why the M.E. didn't refer to Cranford's and Hammesfahr's observations that Terri had some vision?
Those susceptible are willing to forgo their own individuality to become part of a greater oneness. Then all they would need to find a model of their utopia is to look outside in the yard and find an anthill.
Ahhh, the joys of antdom of just being one of the guys...
The Terri Schiavo case was the most bizarre debacle of an already strange political era, and it's only natural that 18 months later, its repercussions are still being felt across the country.
In Florida, where Schiavo lived and died, the case is an issue in the governor's race. Both Democratic candidates are boasting about having opposed government intervention in the case. On the GOP side, Schiavo's father recently attacked the leading Republican candidate for governor, claiming that Florida Attorney General Charlie Crist "let my daughter die. ... He had it within his authority to save her life, but he turned a blind eye to her suffering."

Terri on the road to recovery before the second stage began.
The family of a Virginia boy who has refused conventional medical treatment for cancer reached a settlement Wednesday with state officials, agreeing that he will see a new doctor while continuing his alternative therapy.

The dispute had attracted national attention and pitted parental rights against the government's obligation to protect a child's health. Some had compared the case to that of Terri Schiavo, the brain-damaged Florida woman whose medical care also led to multiple court decisions and high-profile political involvement.

LAKELAND -- More than a year after Terri Schiavo's death in March 2005, a nurse who treated Schiavo in the mid-1990s wonders whether her career will be ended as part of the acrimonious dispute about that case.
A state panel of nurses has proposed revoking the license of Carla Sauer-Iyer, a registered nurse who works in Lakeland, because she violated patient confidentiality rules by discussing Schiavo's medical condition on television.

There are some liberals that push for underage teenagers to be able to get abortions without the knowledge and consent of their parents, while then screaming about how the government shouldn't be involved in private family matters and decisions when it comes to something such as the Terri Schiavo case. What is wrong with this picture?
On the one hand, these liberal-types are fighting for laws that force their beliefs on families, while condemning any government safeguards if it doesn't go along with their beliefs. So actually, the liberals are getting into peoples private matters just as much, if not more than their counterparts. Think I am wrong? I wish I were.

“When the law permits killing as a medical ‘treatment,' society's moral guidelines are blurred, and killing could gain acceptance as a solution for the chronically ill or vulnerable,” said Brownback, a favorite of religious conservatives who is considering a run for president.
Brownback said that he did not expect the bill to become law this year, but said it was important to bring up the bill as a “discussion point and hopefully as a rallying point for those opposed to assisted suicide.”

Tucker and other advocates said they were confident they could defeat Brownback's effort, noting that the public expressed widespread disdain after Congress intervened in the Terri Schiavo case in 2005.

Yet Mr. Schiavo, who won a scorching legal battle to remove his brain-damaged wife's feeding tube, also remains furious at lawmakers in Tallahassee and Washington who intervened in the case. Hence the creation last winter of TerriPAC, a federal political action committee aimed against politicians who tried to stop Ms. Schiavo's death, and the debut of Mr. Schiavo, a newly remarried, self-described normal guy, as a political weapon in this year's midterm elections.
He is an unpolished speaker, sometimes abandoning sentences midstream or grasping for the right words. He did not vote or follow the news until recently, he says, and had never heard of a PAC until strangers suggested he start one late last year.
Michael Schiavo, political weapon

Michael Schiavo is back. Last seen as the husband who wanted his wife dead, Schiavo has set up "TerriPAC, a federal political action committee aimed against politicians who tried to stop Terri Schiavo's death." TerriPac gives money to liberal candidates and Schiavo contributes his own time: "Schiavo flew to Connecticut last month to help Ned Lamont defeat Sen. Joseph Lieberman in the Democratic primary. Schiavo reminded voters that Lieberman had supported an emergency bill asking a federal court to consider reinserting Schiavo's feeding tube days before she died in March 2005."

When cartoonist Dana Summers joked that he was chagrined to see Crist take off his blazer -- when dana had uncharacteristically worn one -- Crist responded: "This is America. You can wear what you want. I believe in freedom." I didn't know whether to smile or puke.

LONDON, August 16, 2006 (LifeSiteNews.com) - British ministers decided Monday that new courts established to arbitrate life and death for patients in cases involving “living wills” and “powers of attorney” will have license to conduct their proceedings in secret away from public scrutiny, according to a report in the Daily Mail. According to the Mail, the new Court of Protection mandated by the Mental Capacity Act of 2005 “will be the first legal tribunal in Britain to hold life-and-death powers since the abolition of the death penalty for murder in 1965.”

If the eugenicists have their way it will be like a a really bad SciFi movie. The "Star Chamber" will vote in secret and then their secret police will show up at your house and inform you that you've been selected to die.
No joke. Social insects such as ants and bees have certainly influenced the theorists of socialist utopia. They can actually look at an anthill and marvel how efficient and desirable it is. I incline more to getting a can of gasoline, soaking the hill, and flipping a lit match.
Alas (for these true believers), people aren't insects and the beehive society never works. Socialism always thwarts our humanity, our deep aspirations and our higher nature, and in the end, it always collapses -- usually killing the idiots who believed in it the most.
Liberals. Bah.
Somewhere down deep, he is crying out to be caught.
