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.
QUESTION:
If her feeding tube was removed does she die instantly?
I am so angry that we can have death by starvation of this poor woman. I am also crying that my country allows this treatment of the least of us.
Tears of joy I'm sure...
Makes me sick!
Gimme a break. Hey MIKE! Go home to your girlfriend/wife and the kids you had with her.
A freakin' murderer on death row is treated more humanely that this!
It will take up to two weeks for her to starve to death according to most doctors I've heard. So it's definitely not over.
What a brave man.
You know with a judge like this one I wonder if we should not consider his quality of life. Imagine having to live the low quality of life he has made for himself. He is hated and reviled by many. He is so deep in the culture of death life must have no value to him. Who would want to be FORCED to live with such a value system? Is his rulings a cry for help?
Where is the mercy for this man? Cut off all food and water to this man now!
I wouldn't want to live on a feeding tube.
I wonder if the Florida Congress can impeach Judge Greer. He has no authority to order euthanasia. Shouldn't Dr. Kevorkian be freed if the U.S. Congress allows this?
JUST GOT BREAKING NEWS ON MSNBC CONFIRMING IT'S BEEN REMOVED!
I need to head out for a while
If you hear anything ..please ping me? thanks

When he ducks out the back door, of course. It's also my experience that "middle of the day" is a relative term where some judges are concerned, especially on Fridays.
>>>He says a prayer service was held first, and that Michael was emotional and crying, saying he wanted to put the situation behind him.>>>
Well good for him!! He wants to put TERRI behind him. Poor poor Michael.
May he rot in hell.
That bastard of a man will get his time in hell.
I only hope he gets some pain in this life as well. If somebody hacks him to death, I will no feel sad at all.
I was just saying the same thing to my fiance. This is very scary and wrong!
Yes.
