Feeding Tube Being Removed: Greer Gives Order

MSNBC

[My Favorite Headache]

Greer gives order

[Halls]

That I agree with, but I only know they they are in the process of appealing it right now. Personally, I think it is time to take Gree down from the bench and Bush needs to do it today!

[ShowMeMom]

Everything I have ever read over the years states that he claims she would not want to live this way.

If he's son darned concerned about her "quality of life" why has he denied her the therapy that would improve it for 15 years?

PRESS RELEASE:
MARCH 18. 2005
2:00 PM EASTERN TIME

ATTORNEY BARBARA WELLER TOLD TERRI THAT THEY WERE GOING TO REMOVE HER FEEDING TUBE , TERRI BEGAN TO CRY AND TRIED TO SAY "I WANT TO LIVE" ATTORNEY WELLER SAID SHE HAD A DIFFICULT TIME CALMING TERRI DOWN.

WE NEED PEOPLE TO SURROUND HOSPICE IN PROTEST TO JUDGE GREER'S RULING STATING HE WILL OVER RIDE FEDERAL SUBPOENA AND WILL REMOVE TERRI'S FEEDING TUBE IMMEDIATELY.

FOR THOSE WHO CANNOT COME TO FLORIDA...PLEASE CALL YOUR SENATORS. PLEASE DO NOT STOP YOUR CALLS.

ACTION BY THE PEOPLE MUST TAKE PLACE TO SAVE TERRI FROM JUDICIAL HOMICIDE.

JUDGE GREER IS WRONG AND IS NOT LISTENING TO CONGRESS.

[nicmarlo]

Yes they would. That's the beauty of issuing the subpoenas rather than enacting some post hoc legislation that would be struck down by the courts. Greer is now in contempt of congress as is any doctor who removes the tube.

Thanks, bigeasy; what about the question of it being a State matter and that the Feds have "no jurisdiction"?????? as I'm sure that's exactly what Greer is claiming.

What if the fetus has Down's Syndrome?
>>>

WOW ! What an ignorant comment.

[Lady Heron]

Would you do this to your mom? Yes or no?

I have a horrible relationship with my mother, she could not stand me from the moment I was born. I would not even deny her food.

[KidGlock]

That's your choice. Not hers.

[JBCiejka]

Can Bush pardon her like a death row inmate, or something along those lines?

[TalonDJ]

Better - what if the fetus is going to be blind, deaf, mute, and with a congenital heart defect?

No one has the right to decide for someone else that their life is not worth living.

[RightWhale]

The courts are now flexing and just asking to prove who really runs our laws and this Nation.

It is far from coming to that point. The people aren't going to hit the streets with torches and pitchforks any time soon.

'move on.'

Nice choice of words. You left off .org.

[hushpad]

This case could unintentionally bring the battle between Congress and King Court to a head at last.


God works in mysterious ways and ALL life has its purpose, so perhaps the tribulation Terri and her family are experiencing is part of that greater purpose. To say that these struggles could change the entire Nation for better, may seem a stretch to some, but I believe it is so.

It would be wonderful indeed if we could reverse the "Culture of Death" that permeates this country.

[Halls]

What, where did you hear that? A RO against the Judge! That would be awesome! I hope it is true!

[mewzilla]

...there is nothing in it for Michael.

Except one heckuva way to get back at his wife and her family family....

[Michael81Dus]

As I said, a horrible situation. I don´t know exactly, is Terri brain dead or not? That is decisive, since the brain death is the actual death and this is important whether she COULD feel that she dies of hunger.

[Deb]

I assumed her bills were being paid by medicare and Florida's state system.

[Ohioan from Florida]

Feeding tubes have been in existence since the late 1800's! This is not a new technology!

[Travis McGee]

Right to Die is easy to convert into Duty to Die.

Yep. Ask the elderly Dutch, who fear going into a hospital for any reason, lest the night shift doctor determine others may better use Granny's in-demand bed.
