Political role of the executive.
I'd rather they inject her and harvest her organs....so that another human may not die unecessarily.
And that is what this is about: Anything is more human then desiccation.
"a sad day America. SAD DAY!"
There was was once a great nation.
Who used to follow God's Law.
Then one day this nation
Decided that man's law was better.
And caught in the web was a helpless women.
And those who demanded her death let her suffer.
Rather than at least demand she be given lethal injection.
Her crime was she was not a criminal.
Because in this once great nation
It was decided she had less rights than a criminal.
While criminals got 3 meals a day and drink.
She got none.
May God have mercy on this once great nation.
"and harvest her organs"
===
Talking about that -- a neurologist was interviewed on Fox, who is called in to determine the neurological state of patients to see if they are candidates for harvesting their organs, based on being brain dead and so on. She said,that based on Terri's neurological state, she would NOT consider Terri as a candidate, because she does appear to have consciousness.
Greer also issued a ruling that prevents God from taking Terri's soul.
Yep.
"Greer also issued a ruling that prevents God from taking Terri's soul."
I presume you are referring to Greer agreeing that "Terri's wishes were to not live like that", hence this can be considered based on Greer's ruling, a suicide.
Fortunately God doesn't go by Greer's ruling, which we all know are NOT based on truth and facts.
Huh?
i'm rather appalled by them. The only silver lining is finding agreement with Ralph Nader.
That is one thing, the sheer hatred of religious conservatives, whom the party would be lost without, is the curious part.
I do believe that it was a sarcastic comment, seeing that Judge Greer has issued orders about everything else, to people and agencies that he has no jurisdiction over.
I agree with every single word you said here....now sit back, and watch us get flamed/sarcasm off.

In 1832, two convicted murders were publicly hanged in England. After the hanging the bodies were placed inside iron cages specially fitted to their forms, and placed on gibbets, posts with arms extending from the top from which the iron cages were suspended. The bodies were left to rot in full public view as a warning to other would-be malefactors. These were the last two such executions carried out in England, for "hanging in irons" was considered too ghastly a form a punishment even in those coarse days.
But this form of punishment had already been civilized considerably over the way it had been practiced in medieval England. As originally practiced, "hanging in irons" was done to a live body without the compassionate benefit of a prior neck-hanging.
After a criminal had been convicted and sentenced to death he was delivered in manacles to a blacksmith who proceeded to measure the condemned man's body and to beat the fitted iron bands into a form-fitting cage. It is said that even the most callous and unemotional criminals would break into sobs as they were being fitted for irons. Often they would beg to be killed immediately rather than be subjected to the ordeal that was about to commence.
Having been secured within the iron cage the criminal was taken to a public place and suspended from the arm of the gibbet. Then, they were simply left alone without food or water, to die from dehydration and thirst.
The dreadful spectacle of seeing and hearing a live man die slowly over several days from being deprived of water and food was certainly jarring and discomforting. Indeed it was so much so, that the law was changed to require a quick and merciful death by neck-hanging prior to placing the body in irons.
"Hanging in irons" was one of the manners of death that the founding fathers had in mind when they amended the Constitution to prohibit "cruel and unusual punishment." Today, the most vile and unrepentant serial sociopathic murderer on death row is assured of never having to face such a hideous, cruel, and painful end.
It is the this form of "painless, compassionate" death by starvation and dehydration that Judge Greer, the 11th Circuit Court of Appeals, and United States Supreme Court has condemned an innocent woman, Terri Schiavo, to suffer during this Easter season.

smart move... it puts a name, and a face on her MURDERER and his name is GREER!!!
"I agree with every single word you said here....now sit back, and watch us get flamed/sarcasm off."
Better flamed here than face the flames in Hell
the people of Florida put this undereducated, corrupt political hack into power, and kept him there. The system of electing judges must come to an end.
Terri must have taken a turn for the worse, that's probably
why they decided to stop the appeals process.:^(

GILBERT O'SULLIVAN lyrics - "Alone Again (Naturally)"
(Raymond O'Sullivan)
In a little while from now
If I'm not feeling any less sour
I promise myself to treat myself
And visit a nearby tower
And climbing to the top
Will throw myself off
In an effort to
Make it clear to whoever
Wants to know what it's like
When you're shattered
Left standing in the lurch at a church
Were people saying, My God, that's tough
She stood him up
No point in us remaining
We may as well go home
As I did on my own
Alone again, naturally
To think that only yesterday
I was cheerful, bright and gay
Looking forward to who wouldn't do
The role I was about to play
But as if to knock me down
Reality came around
And without so much as a mere touch
Cut me into little pieces
Leaving me to doubt
Talk about, God in His mercy
Oh, if he really does exist
Why did he desert me
In my hour of need
I truly am indeed
Alone again, naturally
It seems to me that there are more hearts
Broken in the world that can't be mended
Left unattended
What do we do
What do we do
[Instrumental Interlude]
Alone again, naturally
Looking back over the years
And whatever else that appears
I remember I cried when my father died
Never wishing to hide the tears
And at sixty-five years old
My mother, God rest her soul
Couldn't understand why the only man
She had ever loved had been taken
Leaving her to start
With a heart so badly broken
Despite encouragement from me
No words were ever [Spoken]
And when she passed away
I cried and cried all day
Alone again, naturally
Alone again, naturally
