Terri Schiavo's Family Continues Effort to Block Jack Kevorkian UF Speech

Gainesville, FL (LifeNews.com) -- The family of Terri Schiavo is continuing its efforts to block a speech by Jack Kevorkian scheduled for the middle of next month. The speech would be the first for the former assisted suicide crusader following his release from prison for killing a disabled man and showing the death on national television.

Kevorkian would speak to students at the University of Florida on October 11 and receive $50,000 for the talk, as long as his parole officers approve the trip.

The family of Terri Schiavo has been leading an effort to stop the speech by gathering petitions from concerned citizens so Kevorkian doesn't get a platform in their home state.

They don't want the former pathologist telling students that people with disabilities should be killed, like their sister, rather than receiving appropriate medical treatment or rehabilitative care.

Bobby Schindler, Terri's brother, told LifeNews.com, "We have collected thousands of petitions (and they are still coming in) to deliver to the Office of the President of the University of Florida."

"We're demanding the University rescind its offer to pay $50,000 for Kevorkian to address the students," he added.

"Despite the ongoing message of death spreading through our society and those, like Jack Kevorkian, who attempt to justify killing the most vulnerable among us, we are committed to fight against this death-obsessed culture and spread Terri's legacy of life, hope and love," Schindler explained.

He said there is still time for pro-life people and others worried about Kevorkian's pro-assisted suicide message to sign a petition asking the University of Florida to cancel the speech.

The petition can be found at the Terri Schindler Schiavo Foundation web site.

ACTION: You can also contact the University of Florida President J. Bernard Machen at 352-392-1311 or president@ufl.edu.

Dr. K. bears a resemblance to Florida’s current governor who did nothing when he was Fl’s AG to protect Terri’s civil rights. That’s cuz Judge Greer’s wealthy friends are his big donors too. Money talks, euthanasia STALKS.

nutrition and hydration should NEVER be withheld unless the patient is dumb enough to have a Living Wlll instead of a Will to Live (2 different documents. One will kill, the other will protect).

Living wills guarantee neglect and patients who change their mind about their wishes are often KILLED any way.

By the way, TERRI WASN’T DYING. Not even close..... I know nurses who are still p-oed that she was murdered by judicial fiat not based upon the true medical facts that were suppressed by judge greer, the republican phony boob.

Were you at Friva Las Vegas? If so, wasn’t that a hoot?

[floriduh voter]

One of Pinellas Cty’s fine (lol) judges’ daughters is affiliated with the University of Florida. I wouldn’t be surprised if she invited him for her judge daddy. The agenda is to kill as many people as possible in the name of mercy. It is really in the name of murder.

Remember Count Dracula a/k/a JAY WOLFSON? I think he may have ties to U of F. He’s a lawyer with university credentials (and, he dresses like Count Dracula). No joke

Take care, here, because we're talking about two different things.

A terminal patient has an absolute right to refuse drugs, chemo, radiation, surgery, disalysis, ventilators, and all that stuff which may well be futile, too expensive, or too burdensome to tolerate. If the patient has refused these things and the doctor imposes them against the patient's will, that's assault and the doctor can be prosecuted.

But legitimately refusing extraordinary interventions so as to die naturally, is quite different from Doctor Dingbat coming in and giving a deliberate lethal overdose. That's not comfort care or an appropriate treatment for pain. In fact, it's not a treatment at all.

The Schiavo’s need to move on.

I agree, to jail that is. Along with a couple of Michaels's attorneys and Judge Greer.

[bjs1779]

they weren't killed in cold blood they were WILLING victims

May I stop you right there in your train of coherent thought? You can not kill someone because they want to be killed. Understand?

[wagglebee]

Great catch!!! I totally missed that!

Thank you for re-posting michaelschiavo.org. He wasn’t savvy enough to buy his own name. It doesn’t take brains to find greedy lawyers and incompetent, corrupt judges in Florida. He is proof positive IMO.

Maybe we can send that website stuff that we have found and posted before. Thanks rich8!

He spent the money on pizza so he could eat it by Terri's bedside as she starved to death.

They also watered the flowers in Terri's room when she was suffering from dehydration. Woe is they.

As an aside: Pinellas County has a corrupt property appraisor but Bernie McCabe's grand jury did not indict anybody,just issued a presentment. I'm supposing Pinellas Cty wasn't ashamed of killing Terri but they're very regretful of their roles in PA Jim Smith's swindle of the taxpayers. www.sptimes.com

Last night, the cty commission fired the County Atty without cause. The taxpayers will give this incompetent approx. 100K severance pay over a six month period. It never ends here and more folks are packing up and moving out. The school board which is also overpaid is panicking cuz there are less schoolkids. How long will they be able to justify their existence? Our school brd members make what presidents used to earn. The chickens are coming home to roost.

Well, Terri is in Paradise and one day Michael will burn in Hell for all eternity.

The internet was stripped of the hard hitting graphics that were featured here, some by talented freepers. The good news is that we still have them. If you want them, let me know. Remember the Fla flag? Florida the Starvation State. You can have that and there are some other poignant images. FM me your email addy if you want some fabulous graphics.

I'm supposing Pinellas Cty wasn't ashamed of killing Terri...

Is it the atmosphere? I mean with the Sciencetolgists influencing things and all?

That's a long time. I can't understand the short term gamble that they make.
