Sixth Circuit Court Judge George Greer ruled late Monday afternoon that George Felos and Michael Schiavo cannot implement their stated plan to withdraw the gastric feeding tube of Terri Schindler-Schiavo until a hearing is held on Weds, Feb 23 to determine if the stay in effect from Greer's 2000 death order should remain in place while her parents, Mary and Robert Schindler Sr., continue with their legal options in trying to keep her alive.
The Schindlers had hoped to convince the court that starving Terri to death would violate her religious liberties. As a Catholic, the Schindlers contend Terri would not want to have her life ended.
If anyone ever deserved a second chance, it's Terri Schiavo, the central figure in a battle for the rights of the handicapped. She has no idea of the controversy swirling about her, and has been unaware of the fight for her life since she collapsed of a potassium deficiency in 1990. But regardless of the why and how, Terri's collapse starved her brain of oxygen, and she has never been mentally or physically revived past a semi-vegetative state.

The point is, without her written statement, how do you know that she DID say this? Schiavo never mentioned her feelings during the suit for $1.7 million, but suddenly when he had a honey and a child he remembered that Terry "would not want to live like this." Suits his agenda perfectly. I personally believe that no statement similar to the one made by Shciavo should have any legal standing without written evidence with the signature of the originator.

Don't think you did ping this one, Ohioan ... I was pinging you to awesome post #170 ...
Marvelous! Keep urging your fellow citizens that standing up for Terri is good and right. Ask them to contact legislators and organizations as well.
Although you and I may have left our home state, it is still in our hearts!
Why stop there?
Boycott the airlines for flying there.
Don't watch any television that carries any sports teams that play in Florida..
Refuse to ever use a hotel chain that has properties in the state.
Oh, and don't drink any orange juice.
Thanks, Pegita!
I missed another Terri thread! Here it is!
Terri ping! If anyone would like to be added to or removed from my Terri ping list, please let me know by FReepmail!
This is a RIGHT TO LIVE case, NOT a right to die case.
"Although you and I may have left our home state, it is still in our hearts!"
Never mind Florida no longer being in someone's heart, America is no longer in my heart.
I say this as tears are streaming down my cheecks and the sides of my nose.
There is only one solution to saving our Terri and that is an old-fashioned one as practiced in the 30's and 40s.
What's happening to our beautiful country? Where have all the men with @@ gone?
Thinking and praying for our Terri here.
How many of the people who proclaimed the CBS documents fake actually saw the real documents, as opposed to copies? Proving a document is real requires examining the actual document. But a sufficiently bad fake may be proven false even from a copy.
PVS can be disproven, but not proven, by video (if one presumes that there aren't hidden strings pulling on the patient, etc.). IIRC, some of the doctors who have examined the videos have stated quite clearly that one could record a PVS person for a year and not end up with as much apparent-meaningful-interaction footage as the Schindlers have obtained in a few hours.
You don't like my opinion? DON'T READ IT! DON'T SUBSCRIBE TO IT!
IF YOU DON'T TELL US WE DON'T HAVE TO CARE ABOUT IT NOW DO WE?
I'll pray for the return of your soul, but it would help if you actually wanted it back. Just out of curiosity, what did you get in exchange for it? Or were you duped into giving it away?
Watch a video. Shells lying there don't laugh at their dad's jokes or try to kiss their parents or smile broadly when mom walks in the room.
You evil idiot.

I don't mind debates, but why do we always argue with ignorant people who shouldn't even be on this thread?
Someday someone may decide to starve and dehydrate them and if they survive they may have a different take on the whole issue.
Uh oh. He's BAAAAAAAAAAAAACK.
