Just on Fox: Judge going back to chambers to review plaintiff (parents) request for restraining order and tube reinserted.
Quoting liberals as fact of Napolitano's inability is not necessarily a shining report. Fact is Napolitano is closer to the Old Right and the Framers than anyone has been at National Review in over 20 years
I hope the family's lawyers are thinking ahead and have lined up the coroner to step in and prevent HINO from immediately destroying the evidence. In fact, wouldn't an inquest and potential autopsy give pause to some of the players involved that a misdiagnosis might be exposed rather than buried?
I'm not ready to give up hope and surely don't expect the parents to be thinking about this but the lawyers should be. Maybe if they can convince Michael that his day of reckoning will come sooner with Terri's death rather than later, he'd have a change of heart and decide that it was better if she lived a long, long time.
Just grasping at plan Z here.
Yes, it is exactly the word I want.
Not a fact...just your opinion masquerading as fact. You're entitled to it. Doesn't mean it is correct.
You've hit it. This is ALL about getting the euthanasia industry rolling.
I don't know if he can use an executive order, but I wouldn't expect one. I am feeling worse the longer this goes on. Wonder if anyone has any idea how long this guy thinks he has got. Not a good sign that he hasn't ordered the tube back in yet.
President Bush should issue an executive order to save Terri if the Clinton Judge rules against Terri. Let the Democrats try to impeach him. Those who know that this is wrong can not "Wash" their “Hands”. Ironic that Terri is going through this during Holy Week. If Terri dies on Good Friday, I am afraid that this country is going to see God’s wrath in the near future.
Your right.
Yes, sad...but true. It takes tragedy for our representatives to have the backbone to do anything.
Can't see the connection between your quoting polls and my saying the "professional empaths" are MIA when it comes to saving Terri.
I would say you are "talking through your hat" when it comes to your knowledge of President Bush's actions here, but that that overstates how high to critique you by about half...
I present exhibit A.
Do you think that post was thoughtful and mature, or do you concede it is tinged with hysteria.
Your scenario doesn't get Judge Whittemore "off the hook" if the 11th Circuit issues a stay and tells him to go ahead and decide the merits -- then it's right back in his lap, with only a brief "respite." Only if he think they (and the Supremes) will also pass will it do that.
And what will be done with the judiciary, once it is grabbed?
"I did talk to a nurse friend, and she said Terri's death will be painless."
Logically, one cannot say whether her starvation will be painless if there is not even a consensus among experts regarding her level of awareness, let alone if she is indeed in a PVS. Beyond that there isn't even a consensus about PVS itself. Definitions vary.
Also, this is what I wonder about concerning those in favor of starving Terri Schiavo: if you think her condition warrants mercy killing than why starvation? Why not something quicker like lethal injection? And why not have some backbone and say emphatically that you support the legalization of euthanasia?
Court sanctioned euthanasia is abominable; worse than that is starvation as the method.
No it will not. Have you ever been dehydrated? Ever seen what happens? Starved to death?
The body starts consuming the intestines when it can't get any food. It is very,very painful.
They can give Terri MORPHINE to kill the pain.
If she can FEEL PAIN, SHE IS NOT BRAINDEAD. SHE IS AWARE.
This is the what the whole issue revolves around, that she is NOT AWARE, PVS.
If she was, they would not have to give her MORPHINE to kill the pain.
Ask your nurse friend if she forgot to mention the painkillers.
