How many people have died of starvation or asphyxiation because we were told they were "brain dead"?

Al Gore?

Of course he's right, he certainly turned the Rutgers program around.

A lot of FReepers seem to have personal Schiavo-related issues, and will be along shortly to assure us that starving and dehydrating her to death was really a great and human Final Solution to the problem she posed.

Always, always err on the side of life.


But then, the Schivo case was never about Terri.

In America, where everyone has a right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness except those who threaten others by their complete innocence. It is so sad what we have become.

The one's whose organs weren't harvested?

" Shortly after his accident, Johanna had turned down the option of letting him die.

What a nice Orwellian, convoluted way of saying she didn't want to kill him.

Shiavo had his wife killed and he should be charged.

There's no question that Terri Schiavo was murdered, with the help and support of liberal politicians and judges.

It wasn't just that a judge ordered her to die of thirst, a most painful form of death. It was also that her husband refused to allow her to have any treatment or proper medical supervision during the years she was in the hospice. She wasn't even allowed to have the blinds up or to have the nurses talk to her.

This poor, brave woman survived for years despite being condemned to what amounted to an isolation cell by her husband. Obviously there was someone in there who wanted to live, or she would have died much sooner of pure sensory deprivation.

Not to speak of the fact that her husband may well have put her into the hospital in the first place. And of the fact that he abandoned his wife for another woman, yet refused to hand over the guardianship to her parents, because he wanted to inherit her money, which he had fraudulently refused to spend on her health care.

Thanks for posting this. A neighbor's daughter suffered a seizure, and stroke as a child. I wonder if this would offer promise for someone like her, as it has for some of the stroke victim's in the article.

Reminds me of the movie "Awakenings" (1990) with Robin Williams and Robert De Niro. Great movie.

I am totally amazed at the comments posted here. Folks here are the first to scream to high heaven when a Liberal Judges use their "feelings" to rule on a case instead of the letter of the law. Just as folks here decry the spin that media puts on news articles to sell papers. Yet the question I have is this: How many here have had to walk that lonely path that Mike did, and how many here actually read all the the court filings and rulings by the Florida courts and NOT the spin put on by the media?

"We did scans before and after we gave Louis zolpidem. Areas that appeared black and dead beforehand began to light up with activity afterwards. I was dumbfounded - and I still am."

Miraculous, just miraculous.

[freekitty]

Ok, now when are Terri's husband and his lawyers going to be charged with murder?

[Old Professer]

We're approaching this from the wrong angle, it's got nothing to do with whether the person has the right to be killed but whether the state has the right to kill.
