House, Senate hope to wrap up year's business
-snip-
HB 656, dealing with DNRs, living wills and other end-of-life issues, is one of the three bills expected to draw the biggest fight in the House. Opponents fear the bill will give doctors and nurses a freer hand to withdraw life support from those they deem permanently unconscious.Physicians who testified before House and Senate committees said they need the flexibility to withdraw nutrition and hydration in some cases where they are overloading a patient's system. They also asked for freedom to act in cases where mentally ill patients refuse essential medical treatments.
The bill also includes a provision that requires hospitals that do not follow living wills to post a public notice at all areas where patients are admitted.
relative to medical decision making for those adults without capacity to make health care decisions for themselves and establishing procedures for Do Not Resuscitate Orders.
SIPOSays...On Charlie Crist.
Charlie changed his mind, deciding after all it would be a cool political move to be seen hanging out with family values idiots who worship Jesus, concluding, by simply showing up, Christian voters would forgive him and vote for him. Poor Charlie ain't got a scriptural clue how the forgiveness system works. If Charlie actively seeks forgiveness, he must first ASK FOR IT. He hasn't done that.
While, yes, a Christian can forgive applying the, "...they know not what they do..." principle," there's still no obligation to vote for the evil doer.
Reconciliation is earned, and Charlie might start by publicly confessing and investigating his own roll helping George Greer and Bernie McCabe accomplish Jeb's "right to starve" state sanctioned judicial signature murder of Terri Schindler Schiavo -- an aware of self human being who screamed for her life.
The Schindler family pleaded with him, the governor, too many to count police and regulatory agencies for investigative/protective help, and pretty political boy Charlie multiple times turned his back on them. Christian voters have a higher moral obligation to ignore Charlie when he screams for his political life come Republican primary day. (George, Bernie, Jeb - pass this on to Charlie.)
End of email. This guy knows exactly what happened to Terri.
