Does she look dead to you?
A Conversation with Terri
Here's the autopsy report. Please show us where it says she died years ago.
So, no one in this thread believes that Terri died years ago and all that was left was a hollow shell which was all but confirmed by the autopsy.
Instead, you believe that a massive conspiracy reaching into all levels and branches of government was arranged simply to kill one person.
Correct?
Pretty much it.
Except replace "massive" with evil and that sounds better. No t too many massive conspirators, just evil ones and willing accomplices.
What you quote what no one of us swallows is the simple basic liberal mantra. It is fairly lengthy if you get to look into it.
There's a little problem with your comment. Terri breathed on her own. That means she was alive. To breathe on your own means that your brain works somewhat. I won't go into testimony, or videotaped evidence, because I already know you have dismissed it.
I could agree with your opinion if Terri was hooked up to a ventilator, and other assorted machines, but she wasn't. Heck, she couldn't even receive routine antibiotics, per her husband's orders.

This does a fairly good job of explaining how we came to this point, when a disabled woman's right to be recognized as a human being with the inalienable right to life was denied. Dred Scott and Terri Schiavo - The Long and Tortured Death of the 14th Amendment At the Hands of the Federal Judiciary. It doesn't explain everyone's motives, but it does explain how our judiciary came to be so out of control that the courts failed so miserably in their duty.
So you did read the autopsy and realize the frontal lobes were intact, and that though she had 50% of her brain function, she was not dead.
people who are paralyzed have no function of parts of the spinal cord. Does that mean we chop off their arms and legs -- because they are hollow shells.
When a priest would begin praying, Terri would close her eyes.
This is similar to the original Star Trek series where Captain Christopher Pike could only move his eyes, but could still think. Maybe they did not get into how well he could think in that Star Trek episode (The Menagerie), but he was allowed to live.
However, Terri Schiavo could speak in a limited fashion and she could kiss in her way. She could handle her own saliva and not choke to death.
It depends what you consider a hollow shell. The person who did the autopsy admitted he had trouble, and probably wished he had not allowed the body to be destroyed. He really had to struggle with it -- but he screwed up allowing the body to be cremated immediately...
There are people who consider human life not the same as animal life. I guess you are not one of the these people who have respect for human life...
I am sure where you get that from. But the year was 1999 and lawyer George Felos was the Chairman of the Hospice that Terri eventually was admitted -- through the work of George Felos.
As for saying there is a conspiracy, Judge Greer was legally blind. How could he view the video's of Terri's being tested by doctors? He also violated the law -- he was both Terri's legal guardian and her judge. That was against the law, but that is getting into the fine points of the law.
The case was not overturned on appeals because of the nature of appeals courts. A bad decision can be allowed to stand because of our system of government.
I don't think I ever said there was conspiracy at ALL LEVELS of government.
Certainly Governor Jeb Bush tried to help the Schindler family and Terri Schiavo on a number of occasions. Pope John Paul II ever spoke out about this case, as did President George Bush.
It was more a case of a good ol' boy network scratching each others back.
