All the family could do was wait until medications that kept her heart beating wore off. It took a day and a half, he said.
After the funeral, the family went to the Buck Hotel in Feasterville. Scott and Terri were sitting next to each other at a large table, where the conversation turned to how upset their grandmother would have been at her final hours.
Terri turned to him, Scott Schiavo said, "and she said, 'Not me, no way, I don't want that.' She says, 'If I'm ever like that, oh, don't let me. Pull that tube out of me.' " Scott Schiavo said he testified about the incident in 2000."
In the above conversation, the reference was to a VENTILATOR. Terri was referring to a VENTILATOR (If Scott Schiavo was even telling the truth). Feeding tubes were not an issue then nor were they an issue at the time of Terri's collapse. I don't see where Terri says she wanted to be STARVED to death.
Furthermore, this was a passing comment made during an emotional conversation about the death of an elderly Grandmother, rather than a rational decision made after considerable thought.
Around the same time Terri's friend stated that she was most upset about the fact that a VENTILATOR was going to be removed from Karen Quinlan, (though the feeding tube was permitted to remain and Miss Quinlan lived for ten more years). Yet, the friends remarks were discounted.
This is what ODIUS Judge GREER, the FOOL, based his decision upon. Absolutely OUTRAGEOUS!
How can you starve to death being on a ventilator? She was on a feeding tube the day she was admitted into the Humana Hospital in 1990. Quite frankly, she was unresponsive, and admitted into ICU for 2 months.
