FAMILY SPOKESPERSON: SCHIAVO FEEDING TUBE REMOVED!
Bay News 9 ^ | 3/18/05

Posted on 03/18/2005 12:18:38 PM PST by areafiftyone

A spokesperson for Michael Schiavo says Terri Schiavo's feeding tube was removed Friday with Michael in attendance.

He says a prayer service was held first, and that Michael was emotional and crying, saying he wanted to put the situation behind him.

Terri Schiavo's parents, the Schindlers, visited with Terri Friday morning, prior to the tube's removal.

Pinellas-Pasco Circuit Court Judge George Greer denied two U.S. House of Representative emergency motions Friday, which allowed the tube's removal.

The first motion was to intervene in the case for the House Committee on Government Reform and the second motion was to push the date back nine days so it could conduct what it calls a field investigation concerning the healthcare of Schiavo.

A neurologist appeared at Terri Schiavo's Pinellas Park hospice center Friday with a TV screen to show video of patients he treated that were in worse condition than Schiavo and got better.

I think she already has a port for the tube inserted in her body.

I hope Terri's family, and interested concerned citizens take legal action against the dirtbag husband and hound him until his life is made miserable. I wish I could be in front of the judge's home too, to scream "nazi!!" Hitler must be looking up from wherever he is and smiling.

Re: "USA ceases to exist as a civilized society."

We HAVE ceased to be a civilized society, or this would not even be a national case. In Britain they aborted a baby because of a horrific birth defect, a cleft lip, oh the horror.

There will be a price for this.

And he let them do it themselves (at least most of the time). Not that I am for that AT ALL!

enforce thier directives.

The doctors said they was going to give her massive amounts of morphine and sedatives and other drugs to knock her out)if she is even aware).

Oh, they're so humane.

No, as others have said, it may take up to two weeks. And the way this is being reported is really misleading. The MSM makes it sound like she is hooked up to the tube 24/7. Actually, she has a port in her stomach, and the tube is attached twice a day for feeding. What it really means is that the tube will no longer be attached for further feedings. Although last time, for some reason, they actually surgically removed the port from her stomach. Absolutely no reason to do this - they could just not feed her anymore.

But, even saying all that, it isn't over yet.

Keep praying.

But that's the next step in this monstrous scenario: she doesn't die quickly enough to suit them, so they go back in court and say she is suffering and they should be able to "assist" her with a lethal injection.

"The authority of certain physicians to be designated by name in such manner that persons who, according to human judgment, are incurable can, upon a most careful diagnosis of their condition of sickness, be accorded a mercy death."
-- Adolf Hitler, 1939



The Holocaust started with the killing of those deemed undesirable to German society. Adolf Hitler's own cousin was gassed because she was mentally disabled. History can and will repeat itself.

HIPPOCRATIC OATH

Hippocratic Oath -- Classical Version

I swear by Apollo Physician and Asclepius and Hygieia and Panaceia and all the gods and goddesses, making them my witnesses, that I will fulfil according to my ability and judgment this oath and this covenant:

To hold him who has taught me this art as equal to my parents and to live my life in partnership with him, and if he is in need of money to give him a share of mine, and to regard his offspring as equal to my brothers in male lineage and to teach them this art - if they desire to learn it - without fee and covenant; to give a share of precepts and oral instruction and all the other learning to my sons and to the sons of him who has instructed me and to pupils who have signed the covenant and have taken an oath according to the medical law, but no one else.

I will apply dietetic measures for the benefit of the sick according to my ability and judgment; I will keep them from harm and injustice.

I will neither give a deadly drug to anybody who asked for it, nor will I make a suggestion to this effect. Similarly I will not give to a woman an abortive remedy. In purity and holiness I will guard my life and my art.

I will not use the knife, not even on sufferers from stone, but will withdraw in favor of such men as are engaged in this work.

Whatever houses I may visit, I will come for the benefit of the sick, remaining free of all intentional injustice, of all mischief and in particular of sexual relations with both female and male persons, be they free or slaves.

What I may see or hear in the course of the treatment or even outside of the treatment in regard to the life of men, which on no account one must spread abroad, I will keep to myself, holding such things shameful to be spoken about.

If I fulfil this oath and do not violate it, may it be granted to me to enjoy life and art, being honored with fame among all men for all time to come; if I transgress it and swear falsely, may the opposite of all this be my lot.

I wouldn't want to live on a feeding tube.

There are lots of people living with feeding tubes. Many people with the inability to swallow get nutrition through these tubes. Some of these people lead pretty normal productive lives.

We don't kill people because their lives aren't "perfectly normal," whatever you mean by that.
