And check out this Labyak quote on http://www.aarp.org/bulletin/june98/labyak.html

Glasheen: If you were putting together a primer, what would you say is the most important information people need about hospice? Labyak: Probably the initial thing is that hospice is about living and that people don't need to think of it as a place to go where there's no hope anymore. We see a lot of miracles in hospice. They might not be the traditional medical miracle but the miracle of being very sick and yet having your pain controlled, having your symptoms controlled and being able to carry on with your life and be the person that you've always been. To have continuity of relationships and the opportunity to talk to people honestly about what's happening and to find meaning, to find dignity in life, to spend time with your family doing things that are important.

Miracles, huh?

I'm still trying to deal with the cause and effect of keeping Terri's room at 60 degrees. Maybe that will be in the emergency hearing this Tuesday. IMO, this is all very conspiratorial. Does Terri have to die to legitimize what they plan on doing in the future?

I'm thinking about contacting John Ashcroft as this is a crime of major proportions.

"to spend time with your family doing things that are important." (unless your Terri Schiavo). She's there for only one reason.
