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.
Icon, I agree--yes, the judge must go, but frankly, the laws have to be changed. I pray that Terri does not die in vain. If this can be done to her--this is a very public case remember--what is being done behind the scenes where there is no public and media attention?
I am so sorry that your father had to endure that at the end of his life. It broke my heart to read your story. I am so sorry.

Don't you know that you are an 'embarrassment' to FR? Don't you want to be a longtime 'respected' member? Then you need to line up your position and be on the same side as all of our enemies, the MSM, the liberal elites, most demonrats, leftists college professors, 99% of most RINO's, socialists, Hemlock society members, DU'ers, and on and on. Also, don't forget to be so 'sophisticated' when discussing the murder of an innocent women with rational, cool, object, elegant words. Don't be a crude, Bible thumping, red-neck, uneducated rube, you know, all the stuff that the that the liberal elites spew when talking about conservatives or 'red-staters'.
No... stay exactly the way you are. The 'respected-in-their-own-minds' types are worse than our enemies. I have only the uttermost contempt for them!
Saundra, our family watched your interview on Local Fresno TV last night. Thank you for standing up for Terri. Bless you!
"Oh dear God.
To the pro-death people: ARE YOU SATISFIED AT LONG LAST?!? "
No. They will never be satisfied. That is why the war between good and evil won't end until God steps in and ends it.
What bothers me, is that we are all indirectly responsible. We all participate in electios who put these people into office, and elect the people who appoint judges to their posts.
This is a sad day for America.
This is a painful period and not everyone will be able to express it in an acceptable way.
There will be days like this. Hopefully, it will reform into democratic action to do some good. Hold your elected officials accountable and support those who support life.
I think Judge Greer went to battle with Jeb Bush and Greer won. I feel bad because I can see the honest efforts of Jeb Bush and now some feel compelled to attack him.
Well, I'd join up with the "respectables" you mention, but I simply can't learn how to slither on my belly. Nor was I thrilled about the requirement that I wear the "666" label. Guess I'll just have to be another "wacko."
No I am sorry I don't but they may have that info on the message. I am not certain!
It never ceases to amaze me at how GULLIBLE some people are. This same woman has been known for making the most outrageous and fanciful claims that have no basis in reality. Just last week she said during a press conference Terri SPOKE and YELLED, "I don't want to die!"
Even Terri's own family backed away from that one - they then said Terri only grunted and made some sounds (which she has done consistently over the past 15 years whether spoken to or not, whether people are present or not).
Now, how in the world is it possible for Terri to start BLEEDING if she is deprived of FLUIDS? Hmmm? The human body consumes water and yet, according to this sensationalistic attorney, her body is releasing additional water.
Where can it possibly be coming from? The air? Is this a unique feature of Terri's dehydration, one that has never been observed with others who've died from dehydration?
Dying is never pretty. My wife's features changed at the end when she was dying from cervical cancer. Her eyes too became sunken. So can people just STOP the hysteria? It's getting tedious. Letting nature takes its course by discontinuing artificial feeding is not the same as murder.
That could have caused some bleeding.
Try again.
"This is a sad day for America."
Yes we are all complicit. Proud to be an American? Not this week.
Let me repeat what I wrote to another:

"we have an ombudsman law in our state and that the family and these nurses could have called on the ombudsman to step in years ago."
Such is all fine and dandy but when anyone with a public trust (such as a ombudsman or appelate court) is compromised, by bribery, blackmail, brainwashing or Marxist/UN agenda, the deadly lie is that it has been reviewed by an objective party. This In My Humble Opinion is what is going on in Terri's case. And it goes on all the time, everywhere, because people buy newspapers, magazines and cable channels that avoid--or COVER UP fraud (or PERPETUATE IT, as in RatherGate). If people go Cold Turkey and cut off the MSM cash flow, canceling subscriptions, shifting advertising revenues away to more objective sources--we'd have better coverage, believe me.
Don't hold your breath as you are waiting for this to happen. You see Jeb is a little busy right now reading polls and doesn't have time to enforce the law...
It was a nice gesture on Jeb's part, however, to ask Judge Greer if Terri could be taken into protective custody as evidence in a criminal investigation!!! I guess this is just another added step in the investigative process these days - get approval from your local probate judge before opening an investigation!!!!!
SHE WAS DEHYDRATED TO DEATH.
It is a known fact that dehydration causes tongues to swell, eyes and nose to bleed.
YOU do your own homework.
You certainly know how to make an underwhelming argument.
