Do you believe everything that it's posted in the Internet?

Posting statement by discredited witnesses is weak. I'm not going to re-hash this Schiavo saga again. I'm not going to convince you of anything, and neither are you going to convince me of anything.

Your side lost because it had a weak case. All the courts that reviewed the facts and the law disagreed with your side, and most of those judges were conservative, Republicans, or both.

Here in Florida, we have the right to make a verbal request rejecting feeding tubes.

If you don't like it, try to convince the people to change the law.

Good luck in your quixotic quest.

William P. Cheshire Jr. - Mayo Clinic neurologist who 'observed' Terri after 5 days of dehydration.

From his affidavit:

“To enter the room of Terri Schiavo is nothing like entering the room of a patient who is comatose or brain-dead or in some neurological sense no longer there. … As I looked at Terri, and she gazed directly back at me, I asked myself whether, if I were her attending physician, I could in good conscience withdraw her feeding and hydration. No, I could not. I could not withdraw life support if I were asked. I could not withhold life-sustaining nutrition and hydration from this beautiful lady whose face brightens in the presence of others.” --3/23/2005

Yes, you do. Now tell us when and in what words Terri Schiavo so requested?
