Ping. Attorney George Felos is pouting because the Florida Dept of Children and Family wants to investigate Michael Schiavo.
And there it is folks!!!
This was before he "remembered" 7 years later that Terri "said" she wanted to be euthanized, that the subject came up because they watched a TV show, but he can't remember the name of the TV show, but she "said" she wanted to be starved and dehydrated to death if she became disabled?
Oh, and I guess she must have also "said" to MS that she didn't want her parents and brother and sister to be able to visit her, that she wanted to be kept in a stark room deprived of stimulation, that she didn't want her infections treated, that she wanted painful contractures from no range of motion exercises being done, that she wanted her teeth to rot because they weren't brushed (MS is a trained nurse-he knows these things are supposed to be done), and that when her tube was removed the last time, and she was "in the dying process" that she wanted police blocking the door to her room so that her priest couldn't give her Last Rites Communion- Tell me again the reason for this - that she might choke? or was it that she might prove she can swallow? Why was MS so adamant that Terri not have stimulation in her room and denied her parents visits? Isn't she "brain dead"? Doesn't the very fact that he went to all the trouble to keep her in a "stimulation free" enviroment, and deny her parents visits, and no photo's or video can be taken of her, no reporters can visit her, doesn't that show his intentions for her are not honorable. What is he trying to hide from the public? Why can't Terri be present in the court room? Again- What was the excuse for no therapy after he swore in court that he'd care for her-Why? Ask yourselves these questions.
Regarding Felo's and his "reeks of of the intervention of politics" - Isn't he behind the Florida law that changed the status of a feeding tube to "life support" and therefore something that could be halted like a vent? Was he at one time the chairman of the board of the hospice Terri is in? Isn't he a prominent euthanasia activist? Is he writing a book about this case? Yet he is supposedly representing the man who is Terri's "guardian" - Guardian of what? -certainly not Terri's life. Felo's has a vested interest in having Terri killed by dehydration and this definitely "reeks of the intervention of politics"
It can be clearly shown in previous posts her on FR that MS has repeatedly violated his duties as a guardian. I can only hope and pray that those in authority will open their eyes and ears and finally acknowledge the obvious truth of this case and return Terri to the loving care of her parents..
Here is an account Post 258-a visit with Terri ,for those who say she's brain dead. Read it and tell me how you could put the parents through what MS has put them through and intends to put them through? Not to mention the horrible death he wants to inflict on Terri.
The brain and its function are something the "experts" know least about. Go Here and read about the latest discovery about response in brain dmaged patients. Maybe we should be exercise care before we write someone off as "brain dead".
Are we sure we want to embrace starving the sick and disabled to death? It is a terrible way to die-
HERE is an account of children who were starved and dehydrated for only 3 days.
Do we want to go down this path?
For those who claim to be Christian/religious the Bible says we are to "care for the sick", not kill the sick.
I believe this case is critical. It's about so much more than Terri and her family (My heart and prayers go out to them).
This is about weather a court can order someone executed by means of starvation/dehydration without the persons wishes clearly stated in writing.( and this method of death WILL KILL anyone-even a 100% healthy athlete, if deliberately starved and dehydrated will die.)
Can a guardian get a court to order the death of a disabled ward who is unable to communicate, merely by saying to the judge- he/she "told me" they don't want to live? What if the disabled person is a ward of the state, can the judge deem them "unworthy of life"?
As a final note, I would caution those of you who have made up your minds about what you would and would not want done for you, in the event you become disabled, to think very carefully about it. Make sure you are fully informed. Did any of you watch "War Stories" with Ollie North this past weekend? It was about disabled veterans. Almost all of them said, when they first became aware of their disability that they wanted to die. This is a common reaction . Then they said it was replaced with an even stronger will to live which carried them through.
For those who say you "know you wouldn't want to live like that" I say you can't really know what you'd want.
One thing is clear- Terri has demonstrated an incredible will to live, let's hope that she can finally be returned to the loving home of her parents.
PPOING
How to end Michael Schiavo's diabolical plan-- rule that as the money was paid by the hospital to keep her alive, if it's necessary to end her life, the money reverts back to the hospital?
This is M's attempt to kill for cash that isn't his. He's had a common law wife (yes, it's a loose argument to say that he's committing bigamy) for enough years to have fathered 2 children. Plan B -- he broke the marriage and therefore is no longer her heir as he "married" his girlfriend.
Finally, DCF is doing what they're supposed to be doing! Ohhhh quit whining, you blood thirsty bast@rd >8^D
life
BTTT!
bttt
Forgive me for throwing cold water on what is really a very good development, but what if the following scenario unfolds:
Greer faxes in his decision on Friday, shortly before 5 PM, dismissing the petition due to "irrelevance", or some such excuse, then disappears for the weekend, or decides to use some vacation time. Michael proceeds to remove the feeding tube at 5 PM, when Greer's stay expires.
My question is this: Is Governor Bush prepared for this possibility?
Greer refused to let the DCF attorney speak on Wednesday, and merely took the petition and left it in his office. Is he actually going to have somebody read the petition to him?
He can't read it, since he is legally blind!
What I find of most importance to the public awareness is the following statement:
After a 2000 nonjury trial, Greer ruled that testimony from Michael Schiavo and his relatives showed Terri Schiavo would not want to be kept alive.
BTTT
Please, God, let the DCF have sufficient time to complete their investigation of these legitimate allegations of abuse and neglect. Keep Terri safe from the attempts of partisan death dealers to murder her. We pray this in Jesus' name, Amen.
