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.
State sanctioned murder.
Words do not exist to describe how awful this is.
Michael Schiavo won this money in a malpractice lawsuit against her doctors and he pledged to use it for her therapy and support for the rest of her life. After he got the money, he shut down her therapy, denying her any visual or auditory stimulation, and suddenly "remembered" that she really wanted to die.
The "time" when a person arrives at FR affords them nothing. Sandy's gonna throw gas on the fire, let her feel the heat.
Go figure.
This Michael Schiavo exemplifies selfishness: Unconsciously he broadcasts this in his speech patterns when he says things like "I want to get this behind me". Nothing about Terri. It's all about "me", and moving on with "my" life.
I've stayed away from this whole issue for a number of reasons but...
It's great that a judge can decide whether an innocent person gets to live or die. Just great.
May our Lord comfort Terri and her family with His perfect peace...somehow.
No need to get nasty with me.
By court order?
Inferring from your screen name and tag line that you are a Biblically based Christian, I am surprised by your attitude on this. Is my inference incorrect?
If your life belongs to God, and if you live by faith rather then site, then why not defer such a decision to Him?
Thanks for the link.
Terri never had a written directive to let anyone know her wishes and like someone else said, if Greer heard a different case that someone said it was a persons wishes Judge Greer would throw it out as hear say.
Not usually, but sometimes.
Amazing:
Michael's attorney is saying that the feeding tube was removed per Terri's wishes.
He also is skirted answering the question of whether Terri responded to the tube being removed.
Why would they do that unless they were unsure she could not feel and respond to pain? If unsure, isn't that an admission they have a reasonable doubt that she is not all that mentally/physiologically incapacitated and removed from awareness of her present surroundings?
Aren't even killers set free and allowed to live if there is REASONABLE DOUBT???
So what is Terri guilty of that she deserves the death penalty where no crime is comitted?
It appears the execution has begun. President Bush, it is time to exercise the 'PARDON' option.
Anybody seeing this creepy lawyer?! DISGUSTING!
Man, is this attorney flat out evil.
not so amazing, he's a lying souless man just like MS and Greer.
Apparently he thinks Bob Kerrey is still in the Senate.
This a-h*le is appealing to ALL THE DEMOCARTS to not allow anyone to stop this process.
