I wonder if you'll be saying that if Terri is able to speak again - and tell us that her husband tried to strangle her to death.
If there's no money left in the trust - then there is no other reason for the husband to want her to die except that she could be rehab'd to speak well enough to accuse him of attempted murder. NOW IT's DOUBLE ATTEMPTED MURDER with the help of the courts.
The husband was offered $1 mil to release her to the parents - included divorce and everything. HE REFUSED.
I would believe that to be correct
Please Lord, let this be one of those occasions...
Boy, it sounds like Congress whacked these judges. They sure did need to put them in their appropriate place. I'm starting to get hopeful based on how quick their response has been that Terri might have medical help before or by morning. PLEASE LORD!
isn't there something about ethics that would prohibit professionals from mistreating a patient, no matter who tells them to do it??????
Santorum has made the case via the MSM, IMO. I'm sure you noted his direct assault on Judge Whittemore on H&C.
"..the doctor has ethical DUTY to do whatever he would do for any other patient and bloody ignore the legal.."
Sorry, I laughed out loud reading the part about someone doing something from an ethical duty..
This has been so devoid of ethics.
"One the medical basics of what happens to the human body after over a week without water or food."
Terri has SOOOO defied the odds so far. It's understandable that so many of us want to pray for a miracle. I, for one, cannot call this either way - but I CAN continue to pray for her and her family.
I've gone back and forth on this case. But after the feeding tube was removed and I realized that this was a severely disabed woman who was being starved to death, I landed on the Schindlers side of things. To me, it is just unbelievable that she has lasted 12 days without any nourishment or liquids.
Thank you for posting that -- it was really nice! We are all on the same team just trying to get there in different ways sometimes. I don't see how a person alive could want to seem someone starved to death without their ever signing a document saying they wanted it -- that has bothered me from the beginning to take the word of the scumbag husband.
Take care!
I just had a troublesome thought though. If this is heard de novo, I hope the Schindler attorney is extremely well prepared. I hope with all the people now involved (including J.Jackson, et al) he has the best assistants, staff, advice, etc. to win the argument this time. I would hate to have Felos succeed again. That would be devistating!
And, as quickly as possible, get Terri to a facility where they specialize in life not death!
Well .. this was in the works before Jesse got there. I'm not dissing his appearance - but I just don't have a very high regard for the man - not after the horrible things he has said about the President and other on the conservative side of the isle.
"without any nourishment or liquids."
She had the Body and Blood of Our Lord.
Put the tube back in...
Take the tube out...
Put the tube back in...
Take the tube out...
Put the tube back in...

Your are correct, and I should never have considered this as a form of torture.
I just posted the same about Santorum, PKM. He delivered the message perfectly!
Not if it wasn't presented to them.
The original ruling was on the issue of whether an order to reconnect should be issued in a circumstance where the party asking for it is unlikely to win at trail. Whittemore said, "no", and the appellate courts agreed. Absent the reconnect order, a de novo hearing would have been moot. Here you have the question of whether Congress can, in effect, create a circumstance where he HAS to enter a reconnect order. I'm not going to make a prediction on their decision, but I'll note that an order would be unlikely to issue, in any case, until a decision has been reached. Given the circumstances, issuing an order would be, at least temporarily, the same as deciding the case.
Two days ago would have better for this.
That would be wonderful. Thank you!
I don't think so. They're just hearing another petition for an injunction that would allow some kind of hydration. It's the same kind of hearing as last time - and they didn't reinsert the tube for that hearing.

Praying for Terri.
