Several bloggers have drawn attention to a strange lead in a Washington Post story about the Terri Schiavo autopsy results. The June 16 Post story by David Brown said that "Terri Schiavo died of the effects of a profound and prolonged lack of oxygen to her brain on a day in 1990, but what caused that event isn't known and may never be, the physician who performed her autopsy said
"

that letter is just sick!
That was my thought. Nice to see you Halls how have you been?
And a BJ isn't really sex? And 'is' has many different meanings? It amazes me how liberals can twist the truth and get away with it?
Earth to the wizard medical examiner who did the autopsy on Terri Schiavo----She died because she was starved and dehydrated to death!!! Terri's 1990 collapse had absolutely no contribution in the cause of her death. Plain and simple, her husband wanted her dead. Her lawyer, a euthanasia expert, pushed the husband's wishes, and a goofy judge ruled in their favor!
Homicide by the courts IMHO.....
Doing ok. Been busy, but still very much around. Thanks for asking.
I'm sorry, to which post are you replying?
She was a human being, not a case, not an issue, but a human being named THERESA MARIE SCHINDLER schiavo.
TERRI WAS MURDERED BY THE STARVATION STATE.

"All retirees who avoid Florida"
Retirees might want to move to Louisana...seems they've put laws in place to prevent deaths like Terri's.
No, they haven't. While the originally-proposed bill under consideration in Louisiana would have removed artificially-provided nutrition and hydration from the definition of "life-sustaining medical treatment" under Louisiana law, and would have further created a presumption for the provision of ANH in the absence of a very specific, written advance directive to the contrary, that bill was completely gutted.
The final bill (which passed, and was signed into law) removed all references to ANH, left ANH among the "life-sustaining medical treatment" subject to removal (same as respirators, chemo, etc.), and created absolutely no presumption for the provision of ANH in the absence of a written advance directive.
The original bill was replaced (totally) with language which defined "spouse," and which placed 3 situational restrictions on when a spouse may NOT act as a guardian (empowered to make health care decisions) for his/her wife/husband:
1. When they are "judicially separated" (this was already in the law)
2. When the spouse is cohabiting with another person (this is new, and the only part of Louisiana's new law that relates to the Schiavo case facts)
3. When the spouse has been convicted of violent domestic abuse upon the (incapacitated) spouse (as we all know, Michael Schiavo has never been legally accused of domestic abuse, much less convicted).
The Louisiana law with regard to end-of-life care and decisions (even with the recent modifications) is actually far more liberal and permissive with regard to the decision of a proxy/guardian to withdraw ANH from an incapacitated person than is Florida's law. Of the three, relatively insignificant, "spouse as guardian" restrictions, #1 and #3 already apply in Florida, and #2 is easily avoided as a problem. The restriction doesn't prevent (or penalize) adultery, only cohabitation. If this law had been adopted in Florida, Michael Schiavo could have still had a relationship with another woman, and could have still had children with her, without endangering his guardianship status. All he would have had to do is maintain a separate legal residence. Not a big deal (although who knows if it might not have motivated Michael Schiavo to seek the withdrawal of Terri's feeding tube even earlier than he did, so perhaps it's a good thing that wasn't a facet of the Florida law).
Altogether, in the state legislative sessions held earlier this year, bills which were "related" to the Schiavo situation were introduced in Florida, Louisiana, Delaware, Alabama, Minnesota, South Dakota, Kansas, Missouri, and Hawaii (and probably a few more states). Only in Louisiana (with it's new law, above) and Delaware (which passed a law allowing for a driver's license notation as to whether or not a person has a living will--much like whether or not a person is an organ donor) were any laws (or changes to laws even remotely related to end-of-life choices) passed. The truth is that the actual state legislative impact of Terri Schiavo's situation and death was net zero in 2005.

We recall over the years the many doctors and health care people who slapped that label on our son. Maybe it was their way to dehumanize him so they no longer had to consider him a real human. For example we caught them having dentists doing unnecessary work, for practice, on him without even a touch of novacaine and he was obviously in pain. But labeled PVS, he wasn't human so it didn't twinge their consciences.

Brother of Terri Schiavo to speakThe Wichita Eagle Bobby Schindler says he can't even begin to describe what it was like seeing his sister, Terri Schiavo, die. For the last 13 days of her life, when her feeding tube was removed, Schindler said his older sister suffered from dehydration and hunger. In March, a court had ordered the removal of her feeding tube. Since then, "it's just been a day-at-a-time process," he said in a recent phone interview. "It's been extremely difficult to come to terms with the manner in which my sister was killed." Schindler will be in Wichita on Friday to share some of his family's experiences when they were the focus of national and international media and offer his views on other related topics. He will be the featured speaker on the opening night of the Midwest Catholic Family Conference, which runs through Aug. 7 at Century II Convention Hall. Friday's event begins at 5:30 p.m. with Stations of the Cross, a welcome by Bishop Michael Jackels and comments from the conference directors. A "Concert of Hope" begins at 6:45, and Schindler is scheduled to speak at 8:45 on "We Must Obey God Rather Than Men." "It's very important to speak about what happened to my sister," he said. Schindler said he and his family get frequent requests to speak. He plans to cover several topics related to his sister's death, including examining the laws that allowed the removal of her feeding tube. "What we like to speak about, what we found was how relatively easy it is to walk into a courtroom, petition the courts to remove the feeding tube to people like my sister," he said. Schiavo had relied on a feeding tube for 15 years. On March 18, at the request of her husband, Michael, a court ordered the removal of the tube. She died March 31. Results of the autopsy on Schiavo were released last month and showed that she had suffered from severe and irreversible brain damage. The report generally supported the contention of Schiavo's husband -- also accepted by judges in six courts over the years that her case was appealed -- that she was unaware and incapable of recovering. Schindler criticized how some people referred to the autopsy results as a way "to vindicate the killing of my sister." "To my family, it didn't matter how much brain damage she had, we wanted to care for her the way she was," he said. "Yet, it seems to be in our society, more and more these days, that it's turning into a 'quality of life' issue." As a result of his sister's story, many people began talking about such issues as living wills and the use of life-sustaining measures. But Schindler is concerned that, with such issues, people may be "signing their lives away." He said people ask him whether he would choose to live in a state such as his sister's. "Nobody would choose to live that way," he said. "But that doesn't give society the right to starve these people to death." |
