See the P.S.:

Call Jeb's Office at 850-488-4441 and ask to speak to Lauren
O'Conner (Aide to Governor Bush). Let her know that by Jeb's own
admission in his Amicus Memorandum that Terri is being denied due
process. Let her know that Jeb as Govenor has an obligation to step
in and bring a halt to Terri's execution.

Do not stop calling.

Please spread the message!

P.S. Please repeat this process asking to speak to Christa Calamas.

Does anyone know anything about Michael's girlfriend. Any chance this girl is related to Greer?

[pc93]

New info:

All,

Please call Jeb's Office at 850-488-4441 and ask to speak to Lauren O'Conner (Aide to Governor Bush).
Let her know that by Jeb's own admission in his Amicus Memorandum that Terri is being denied due process.
Let her know that Jeb as Governor has an obligation to step in and bring a halt to Terri's execution.
Among other things ask that Terri be given "Foster Care" custody status based on reports of abuse and
neglect filed on Terri's behalf" in adult protective services.

Do not stop calling.

Please spread the message!

P.S. Please do the same asking to speak to Christa Calamas to relate the same.

Hurry while the business day lasts. You can still leave a message afterwards but it would be better to be patched to
these individuals.

"Any chance this girl is related to Greer?"

I'm sorry, I really don't know much about the details of this case. I don't know who you mean,even, when you say Greer. Hopefully, someone else on this thread will be able to answer your question.

If the story set forth is true why do you folks express dismay? The lady is innocent of any wrongdoing of couse she must die! In America only the criminal and/or vice addict go on to wealth, joy and public office.(With a life time taxpayer supported salary, credit card plus a lifetime full salary pension for themselves and family). Then-given the theology I sometimes see posted here-the criminal and/or the vice addict will die and go to heaven and sit on the right hand of God. Then later the criminal and/or vice addict will come and assist in judging the quick and the dead. Be real this is America 2003 A.D.!

Ping to live, breathing children for organ donors....coming soon to your city or town.

I usually get flamed but the truth is the "traditional" medical community cares nothing about its patients.

Well, he was AWAKE, and responsive so to heck with the his living Will...he was our DAD. His brain was injured, but he wasn't brain dead...there was a big difference and we all knew it.

And this is exactly why I believe a living will is a joke. Nobody, but nobody knows how they will feel in any specific situation until they are in it. Can you imagine being locked inside your body, perfectly capable of thought but unable to communicate to everyone - hey! I'm here! I can hear you, see you, love you - don't let me die!

If I was Terri Schiavo I hope they put me under 9 years earlier!

Unless you're in her head, you know nothing. You have no idea how you would feel in this circumstance unless you were in it.

He is.

I saw him on t.v. and heard him speak.

He is a first class sob and I believe that he is as dirty as they come.

I know both judges Greer and Lazarra. Each is a super judge and a true gentleman and compassionate jurist. Each is a very bright legal scholar and consciencious in the judicial service to which he had sworn fidelity.

There is more than a little disingenuousness in those on this site who hue and cry about the horrors of what they describe as the hated judicial activism and pro-active judges interfering in those areas in which they have no jurisdiction. The fervent assertion is always that judges should refrain from treading into social issues even when the end is one to be favored.

Now,when there is a social issue that catches the attention of this group, the standard is suddenly changed and the rules to be applied situationally amended.

Consistency merely for the sake of consistency is not a good policy. But becoming an angry mob because the courts, and two excellent judges, refuse to do precisely those things FReepers have universally railed against illustrates the thin hypocracy at large here.

Harvesting organs before death is gruesome and evil.

A subject dealt with in this book.
In fact, organ donation is a subject that can be found throughout many of Niven's "Known Space" stories.

Pan, he never had any humanity in him to begin with.

[Bloody Sam Roberts]

That was TEN years ago and Dad is still with us. He eats "anything" and doesn't aspirate.

G-d's designs are more truly amazing when we read of this kind of recovery.

Bless you and your family for never giving up hope. He has rewarded your faith.

He would not come near me.

[Bloody Sam Roberts]

She'll die in about 3 days if water withheld and it will be painful.

I wonder....if the person who is charged with removing the feeding tube were to use a pistol to terminate her life...would that person be charged with murder?

If the intent of removing the feeding tube is to terminate the life of someone deemed as being in a persistent vegetative state, how then could someone be charged with murder for achieving the same end with a pistol?

Does removing a feeding tube make them any less of a murderer?
