Contrary to predictions that Terri Schiavo's starvation death would be painless and dignified, an eyewitness who visited her hospice room early Saturday morning reports that she is now bleeding from the eyes and mouth.
Fox News Channel's "Fox & Friends" reported Saturday morning:
"Barbara Weller, who's is one of the attorneys for the Schindlers, says that the last time she checked in, not very many hours ago, Terri's eyes and tongue were bleeding now.
"Her eyes are sunken and her skin continues to flake off," Weller added.
On Thursday Terri's parents reported that their daughter now resembles "an Auschwitz victim."
At the request of Michael Schiavo's attorney, Judge George Greer has banned cameras and video equipment from her room, precluding the possibility that a photographic record of her deteriorating condition might be kept.
The eyewitness accounts stand in stark contrast to predictions from medical experts cited in numerous media reports who insisted that Terri's starvation death would not be gruesome.
On Wednesday, for instance, the Los Angles Times reported:
"Doctors say that going without food and water in the last weeks of life is not traumatic, and that the body is equipped to adjust to such conditions."
The paper quoted Dr. Perry G. Fine, vice president of medical affairs at the National Hospice and Palliative Care Organization in Arlington, Va.
Good choice of words.
Terri's Parents will NOT appeal to the Supreme Court.
Federal fight is over with - Per MSNBC Reporter.
I'll remember this when some liberal knocks on my door asking for money for starving children in Africa.
"Didn't the NY Times say that death by starvation was euphoric, peaceful and dignified? Why are you trying to interfere with this beautiful process?"
Deserves repeating.
You want to pay a visit yourself?
No, Judge Greer forbade it. Like I said, the police were strip searching her parents and family. It was on FR on a couple of threads around Wednesday.
DU misses you.
If someone tried to do this to MY cats, I'd make them pay dearly, and these people will pay dearly, believe me.
If the judge is human and has a heart this has to come back and haunt him.
I feel much better now knowing that those advertisements with Sally Struthers asking for assistance for starving children were all a sham. Those children aren't suffering, they are dying a dignified death, so keep those donations in your pocket, of find another charity, perhaps a fund for "husbands" who have been subjected to the REAL torture of meddling in-laws seeking to keep their children alive by the artificial means of feeding them.
/sarcasm.
I was wondering who is this "Bonnie."
LIVE FOREVER
by Billy Joe Shaver
I'm gonna live forever
I'm gonna cross that river
I'm gonna catch tomorrow now
You're gonna want to hold me
Just like i always told you
You're gonna miss me when I'm gone
You fathers and you mothers
Be good to one another
Please try to raise your children right
Don't let the darkness take 'em
Don't make 'em feel forsaken
Just lead them safely to the light
When this old world is blown asunder
And all the stars fall from the sky
Remember someone really loves you
We'll live forever you and I
Chorus
I'm gonna live forever
I'm gonna cross that river
I'm gonna catch tomorrow now
Yes and 50 years ago we didn't just accept the excuse that these types of people were "just following orders" but, in fact, we called them war criminals and executioners!!! How could we have forgotten so easily?
I agree, but perhaps they were thinking, anyone with a voice to help to them save their daughter. Or maybe he pushed himself on them.
Don't you know that bleeding eyes and lips is "euphoric" ? [sad sad sarcasm off]
Well, at least they won't be able to dance on Terri's grave. She's being cremated . . . against her faith and against her family's wishes. The monsters know no mercy.
I doubt it too. Yesterday someone was on another thread saying she had gone without food or water for 8 weeks. (Someone else thoughtfully pointed out that either she was mistaken, lying, or dead...) There are agendas here, apparently. Sorry to see it on FR, though.
You visit and report back to us. I'll accept the veracity of your report.
No one really will step up!
NEVER FORGET TERRI TIME TO TAKE BACK AMERICA!
