This should be posted here, as well. These are the results of the failed effort in the Florida Senate to save Terri. Thanks to nine Republican crossovers, the bill was defeated. How did your Senator vote? (Unless labeled, all the yeas were Republicans, and are the nays were Dems.)

If someone were to be unplugged from a ventilator ....that allowed them to breath and be kept alive ,would it be okay if they went ahead and put a pillow over their face to expedite the death?
In Terri's case ,the court has ruled that she has her feeding tube removed... A person who is not brain dead ...reacts to family members ,performs maneuvers that a neurologist has testified to ...I myself have seen the video where they ask her to open her eyes on command ..terri not only opened her eyes ,but raised her eyebrows so high ..LETTING us all KNOW ..HEY I am IN HERE ..please know it !
This is devastating...
My point about the pillow ,goes along with the medical order's to expedite terri's dehydration ..explicit instructions are to :
Dress her in turtle neck sweater, couderoy legging's ,2 blankets wraped tightly! Scoplamine ( ANTIHISTAMINE to futher dehydrate her ... swab her mouth regularly to get rid of any saliva... ( MY GOD) !
Now if you haven't seen the rest of the medical instructions for her death ...save yourself ..and just try not to read about it ..grusome!
A thought to think hard about ..IF Terri's condition was caused by a miocardial infarction due to her bullemia and the bullemia cause a severe electrolyte imbalance and thus a drop in potassium so signifigant that she went into cardiac arrest because of a heart rythum irregularity caused again by lack of potassium .......... And WA LAH ..this happened OVERNIGHT! WHY in the HELL has she not gone into CARDIAC ARREST RIGHT NOW or int he last 11 days with no food or water or the previous times they tried to kill her this way!
The medical literature states that it is an EXTREMELY rare occurence for someone to suffer cardiac arrest due to aonerexia and even rarer for BULLEMIA ,because anerexic's starve themselves and bullemic's merely eat and drink large quantitie's and then purge ..and not everything goes...Some is saved ,especially fluids which act the the kidney's at a faster rate then digested substance's!
I do not beleive for one minute her condition was caused by her bullemic state ...and no medical records have shown Terri suffered a heart attack all test for that were negative ..troponi will tell you if someone has had a heart attack and I am sure that test was done immediately and it was negative ...furthermore ..the heart muscle will be damaged to a signifigant degree if it lacked blood supply long enough ...now supposedly she lacked blood supply so long that her brain is dead now ,but her heart which was without oxygenated blood for that time period as well, still functions normally ???? The heart is a muscle ,if it lacks oxygenated blood for a signifigant period of time, the muscle will die and it will show signs of death by decreased ejection fraction ...you can see this muscle on an echocardiogram very clearly ....people who even have blocked coronary arterie's and they aren't even 100% blocked will show damage to the muscle and terri has no muscle damage ...but severe brain damage? PLEASE!
A cat scan of the brain was performed on Terri early on ...which is about as good as an xray for diagnosing disc problems in the neck or back ..MRI'S are needed for many reasons in this case ..why hasn't one been ordered and demanded to be done ..
If michael gets away with this ...as it looks like he will it will all have been witness to public murder
and all LEGAL.... Now if that's not progress for the system ,I don't know what is.
And can it be legal to expidite the dyhydration process? It's one thing that a court ruled to have her tube removed ,but expiditing it with MEDICAL help/ drugs' scoplamine ...and these are the medical instructions ...can anyone in the legal rhealm find any law that would uphold their medical expedition of her deathh by starvation and pulling tube ,that would show any other help in that ( Scoplamine administration ,the way she is dressed and swabbing the mouth ,be an accessory to murder? )
Ill say this again ,,if one was legally pulled from a ventilator to cause natural death...it would be illegal to hold a pillow over ones face to hasten the process...does anyone see the connection as to the medical instructions given in this case for her starvation and most importantly the dehydration process!
Hey, I was trying to find some info and I was wondering if you could help me. Is there a list w/ links to all the affidavits of the doctors on Terri's side? I found a partial list on theempirejournal.com, but with no links, and after doing some searching on the web, it seems the other side has dismissed each of those doctors for one reason or another.
If there is a list of the full 30, I really want to find it, I've been debating people about this on a couple different forums. Thanks!
