"1. Should the Govenor lift the stay that he previously entered relative to Theresa Schiavo's feeding tube?
a. Yes. The Governor should lift the stay, if valid independent scientific medical evidence clearly indicates that Theresa has no reasonable medical hope of regaining any swallowing function and/or if there is no evidence of cognitive function and no hope of improvement.
b. No. The Governor should not lift the stay if valid, independent scientific medical evidence clearly indicates that Theresa has a reasonable medical hope of regaining any swallowing function and/or if there is evidence of cognitive function with or without hope of improvement.
Emphasis added. It appears that this Wolfson dude follows the "useless eater" philosophy. Everything is predicated on "evidence of cognitive function" or "swallowing function". He would pull the plug, so to speak, simply because the a person lacks cognitive function or can't feed themselves orally. Hitler would have been proud. Working professionally as an Occupational Therapist, I have been letting disabled people know about Terri's case. When they dig into it, they become outraged because they can see themselves readily in Terri's shoes. I can't tell you how many hundreds of thousands of U.S. citizens would have to be put to death if we were to follow Wolfson's recommendations. I have to say that this man totally disgusts me and I can no longer read his garbage. May God grant Gov. Bush the fortitude to say "thanks, but no thanks" to his offer to stay on as GAL.
