Krauthammer has a few words on the subject. http://www.townhall.com/columnists/charleskrauthammer/ck20050323.shtml
So, the nurse was lying?
What motive would she have?
Fact is, she gave up her position to tell the truth...
Me, I would rather be like Terri then be dead. As long as I can breath I don't want to die!
Thanks. :o)
And now, I must get to bed. If I get up in the middle of the night, I'll check back for news.
good night Lauren!
Nighty night. :o)
HIS brother and HIS SISTER-IN-LAW. Not hers.
Bump to the top...sadly.
I totally agree. We will have to see this through even if the unthinkable happens.
"Our God is an awesome God, he reigns from heaven above, with wisdom, power and love, our God is an awesome God.
Thank you Rich Mullins for an awesome song. It just popped into my head just now and I thought I'd sing it to all of you. :)
No one would choose to be disabled but being disabled doesn't mean you give up the will to live.
"I guess my only concern (a pretty big one) is the testimony by Michael and (Terri's?) sisters that claimed Terri told them she would never have liked to live like this."
As one of Terri's girlfriends said on Greta's show last night, there were three people that testified that Terri would not want to live like that.....and they were ALL NAMED SCHIAVO. Michael, one of his brothers and sister-in-law Joan.
If I were like Terri, I would choose to live, as she obviously has so far. Certainly preferable to dehydration.
Exactly. How many times has this happened in the past in towns all over the country? Remember Baby Doe in Bloomington who was born with Down Syndrome and whose parents were allowed to starve him to death? How many other cases have there been? At least in Florida we're trying to do something about it. I'm proud of the heroic measures my representatives in both the state and U.S. Congress have taken to try to save this poor woman. It was obviously the first time the U.S. Congress took such extraordinary measures. Whoever wants to boycott Florida can go right ahead if it makes them feel better, but it seems awfully misguided and ineffectual to me. At best you'll put some people out of work, but it won't be the judges.
I pray that the judges will consider the gravity of facing God with the suffering and death of an innocent human being on their hands.
"Can someone claim that they would want to live like Terri is now?"
Here is that someone.
Thank you, plushaye, for the description of SB2128.
Proud of you, too. :)
"convenient"
Yes, and how. Were a person a suspicious type, you might think it possible to research how an MRI or other brain/neck scan could be avoided medically in order to evade prosecution.
Perfect.
