I am reminding once again of the plight of Dan Devlin. His case has some similarity to that of Terri. He is on life support which to some means eating and having a drink of water, and his perspective killers mean to finish the job by yanking the tubes. Not much has appeared in the news here, no surprise...

........................................

But ever since Al Devlin suffered severe brain damage during surgery at Roswell Park Cancer Institute in May 2005 and lapsed into what a neurosurgeon labeled a persistent vegetative state, the two people closest to him have not seen eye-to-eye on anything else.

Now, following a court battle that has raged for more than two years and split the Devlin family, echoing the Terry Schiavo case, Suzanne Devlin has won the right to disconnect the feeding and breathing tubes that keep her husband alive.

Dan Devlin, 60, whose designation as his brother’s health care agent was overturned by a judge, vows to do whatever he can to stop that from happening. He believes some form of treatment might be found to help his 55-year-old brother regain consciousness and warns that if life support is discontinued before every option is explored, he will do more. “I’ll file murder charges,” he said.

This is the news of late yesterday posted upthread hours ago. It seems like Mikey's hate Terri website has gotten its life support pulled. Awwww.

St. Petersburg, FL (LifeNews.com) -- TerriPAC, the political action committee created by Terri Schiavo's former husband, has paid a $1350 fine to the Federal Election Commission in Washington. The fine was assessed after the group failed to file complete and timely reports. Now the political group's web site has been taken offline.
