Feeding Tube Being Removed: Greer Gives Order

MSNBC

[My Favorite Headache]

Greer gives order

[international american]

Yeah....

[sarasota]

Was that the doc who works geriatrics and can confirm that Terri will feel no pain or discomfort when her body dehydrates and starves?

[nina0113]

WHAT? She still feels??

Yes! One of the doctors who assessed her punched her in the forehead, to prove that she wouldn't react because she WAS braindead. She moaned and tried to move away.

[TheBattman]

Welcome to FreeRepublic - now move on, troll.

[B Knotts]

Thanks for that. I hope a LOT more people go down there.

[myrabach]

If that is the case, how can they justify removing the tube? The justification is that she stated to her hubby that she wouldn't want to live like that. This is contrary to that statement. How can this possibly be overlooked?

If there´s doubt about the will of the patient, the patient shall not be killed. The parents, children and husband shall have a say in this, since they should know the patient at best.

[AFPhys]

We have millions of dollars of medical equipment out there to answer questions about her real mental condition. Why don't they use them?

Simple truthful answer: The judge (at request of HINO) has not allowed that equipment to be used.

"The thing that needs to be pointed out, loudly and often is that it took Michael many hears to remember this converstaion..."


Exactly. See the following, a statement from a girlfriend of the estranged husband:

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Regarding that alleged conversation [that Terri supposedly said she would want to die in such a situation] -- Cindy Shook said that Michael Schiavo said:

"How the hell should I know, we never spoke about this, we were young."

Perhaps they need to subpoena Terri herself - then Greer would be interfering with a Federal witness.

[ConservativeMan55]

They did subpoena her.

[Tarantulas]

Every single one of you that want her to die is a disgusting NAZI. Do you understand that?

Then you're calling Terri a Nazi too? Because she said she would rather die than be like she is.

Oh, and by the way...

Please: NO profanity, NO personal attacks, NO racism or violence in posts.

Some people here are getting out of line with the personal attacks.

[sarasota]

I thought they did subpoena Terri???

[Petronski]

There's half a dozen people on the Terri threads on FR who would have been coming after you with pillows in those days.

Glad you made it.

[Michael81Dus]

Name me one person who is not emotionally affected by this tragic case of Terri Schiavo!

[Darnright]

>Did they record her?!! And if not, Why not!! This is evidence!! Folks need to hear and see her saying such words! I heard they are not allowed to film or record her but at this point the HELL with legalities!!<

Good old Judge Greer decreed there were to be no recording devices in Terri's room. Gotta protect her privacy, don't ya know.

Call your Congressman, and warn him or her to make a ruling that before the hearing, Terri is to have NO drugs that might interfere with her state of wakefulness. This is of utmost importance.

Headline on the Empire Journal:

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.

http://www.theempirejournal.com/

Has anyone else confirmed this? For God's sake, if she's able to convey such sentiments she's obviously not in a permanent vegetative state.

[KevinDavis]

I'm married right now. If it that was my wife I would do anything to help her out. Not pull the plug.

[tfecw]

It's NCAA tourney time . . . I learned a long time ago, bet with your brain, not your heart.


there isn't a whole lot of "brain thinking" going on in this thread

[Prophet in the wilderness]

You got that right, if at the least, they have been a opportunist organization to exploit the lowly masses in their greed for power and wealth.
Another big lie is, that the dems/libs are the party for the poor and the Repubs are for the rich.
If the dems/libs were really the party for the poor, then, how do you explain their buddies in Hollywood, and wealthy families like the Kennedys, Kerrys, so on and so on.
