Harvesting organs before death is gruesome and evil.

"...collapsed from unknown causes in 1990 and experienced a devastating brain injury..."

I would like to know how devastating the brain injury is. Is she in there but cannot communicate or is she brain-dead? This long article fails to provide this crucial info.

p.s. regardless, Hubby sounds like a slime-ball...

[MarMema]

You can see videos of her at www.terrisfight.org

In the past brain-damaged people have been killed this way who spoke and chewed food, waved, laughed at jokes appropriately. Just check out some of the stories on my FR page to learn more.

Pinging.

And you thought it couldn't get worse.

[MarMema]

You know what is the most horrifying about this?

Only recently have people become upset about the use of aborted fetuses for organ procurement. It's still something being debated in society.

The doctors in this article are making the jump from aborted fetuses to children in an ICU with serious neurological damage already, and they apparently felt secure enough about it to publish the idea.

In a matter of only a few years, we have made this kind of progress. How fast the ball rolls now.

I didn't know....I had been paying attention to all of the other news so I didn't know the suit was thrown out on the 10th.

Oh God help us, please!

I wonder what will happen to her murderous, adulterous "husband", Mr. Schiavo? And those who have aided his many mortal sins.

He will get justice, if not in this world, in the next. And his presumably creepy "fiance" had best hope she stays in good health, and reject any large life insurance policies he may seek to contract on her eventual demise.

[Pan_Yans Wife]

When thinking of Terri Schiavo, I often relate her condition to a newborn.

A newborn cannot care for itself, and will die without being fed. But, we can do this to Terri Schiavo, and the only difference is she is an adult.

The tragedy with abortion is that harvesting for medical research is a noble idea to some... when it should rightly be called cannibalism. (As MGHinTN pointed out before, I believe.)

The ball will continue to roll. Cloning truly has me concerned.

Hosea 1:8-9 Now when she had weaned *LORUHAMAH*, she conceived, and bare a son. Then said God, Call his name Loammi: for ye are not my people, and I will not be your God.

1) to deal fully with, recompense

1a2) to deal bountifully with
1a3) to recompense, repay, requite

Indeed. That must be the point where the gimel dusts off his foot and stops chasing after the dalet.

We seem to have done it to quite a few newborns as well, though. If Peter Singer has his way, there would be centers set up where parents could "turn in" their infant for the first 6-12 months of life, because the infant is disabled in some way or they just don't like it.

Peter Singer recently was given a very honorable chair at Princeton University, in spite of writing a book advocating infanticide as described above. Singer teaches ethics and philosophy at Princeton, I think.
