This is the time to stand up for those words of wisdom. Our sovereignty is being lost unless we do.
Terri's case can be won if she is not in a persistent vegetative condition. The Schindler's tell us she isn't. They have to prove it to those in authority.
The statute of limitations is up on Michael beating Terri. There's no statute of limitations on murder. But it has to be proved.
My e-mails are out, & snail mail will go out Monday to Florida legislators.
Unfortunately, 9-11 will dominate the news at a time when we need media most.
I have approached this by trying to read everything I can get my hands on in the past few days, and emailing people who were involved in those previous high profile cases, to see what they had to say.
After three long days of reading, I have come to the conclusion that Terri's life is now in the hands of God and the court system.
It was the Michigan Supreme Court, of all of them, which showed the greatest reluctance to accept the PVS diagnosis and actually gave a rip about the functional ability of the patient ( Michael Martin).
In my new book Forced Exit, a must read if you want to learn more about all of this...a neurologist who is prolife tells the story of a man who was admitted unconscious and the family was told he was PVS and to kill him.
But the family liked him and got a consult from this neuro, who did testing and found the cause of the problem to be a brain seizure. A week later the man walked out of the hospital with all of his mental functions and back to his previous state.
What this neuro is saying is that people everywhere are doing the "PVS thing", it's like a fad now. They're all PVS and just go ahead and kill them.
In a frightening writing I just downloaded from the library about the Busalacchi case, the head of the St. Louis U neuro dept tells of killing his own daughter who had respiratory complications from AIDS, and how happy he was to do it. In the same story he mentions at least 2 patients he allowed to be starved with the collaboration of the family, talking about how secret they kept it to keep the state out of it. He makes a broad insinuation that he is doing this a lot more than the media knows about, because no family members are fighting it in those cases.
And, IMO, he is extending an open invitation in the article to families who wish to contact him for the same "quiet" killings they may desire.
We're really fighting a very established and uphill battle here.
