Terri Schiavo's Family Continues Effort to Block Jack Kevorkian UF Speech

Gainesville, FL (LifeNews.com) -- The family of Terri Schiavo is continuing its efforts to block a speech by Jack Kevorkian scheduled for the middle of next month. The speech would be the first for the former assisted suicide crusader following his release from prison for killing a disabled man and showing the death on national television.

Kevorkian would speak to students at the University of Florida on October 11 and receive $50,000 for the talk, as long as his parole officers approve the trip.

The family of Terri Schiavo has been leading an effort to stop the speech by gathering petitions from concerned citizens so Kevorkian doesn't get a platform in their home state.

They don't want the former pathologist telling students that people with disabilities should be killed, like their sister, rather than receiving appropriate medical treatment or rehabilitative care.

Bobby Schindler, Terri's brother, told LifeNews.com, "We have collected thousands of petitions (and they are still coming in) to deliver to the Office of the President of the University of Florida."

"We're demanding the University rescind its offer to pay $50,000 for Kevorkian to address the students," he added.

"Despite the ongoing message of death spreading through our society and those, like Jack Kevorkian, who attempt to justify killing the most vulnerable among us, we are committed to fight against this death-obsessed culture and spread Terri's legacy of life, hope and love," Schindler explained.

He said there is still time for pro-life people and others worried about Kevorkian's pro-assisted suicide message to sign a petition asking the University of Florida to cancel the speech.

The petition can be found at the Terri Schindler Schiavo Foundation web site.

Okay, Eagles. We’re less than a week out from our first mission and less than two weeks from the second. We have moved Heaven and Earth and expended untold man-hours to get the logistics done. It is now up to each and every one of you to ruck up and support these missions at whatever level you are capable of. For some of you, that will mean showing up at one or both events. For others, that will mean supporting the missions from afar; either by faxing the letter we have posted or calling your members of Congress. Some of you will donate funds so that the events can be paid for. We need you to support us at whatever level you can.

To quote Winston Churchill, “Sometimes it is not enough to do your best; sometimes you must do what is required.” This is that time.

This isn’t complicated, killing Terri, it is multi-layered. Plenty of us know the layers and the players. She was murdered and Badeye’s Law is something you just invented to amuse yourself?

The death enthusiasts of the Sundown State of Florida are at it again. This comes from WSVN Fox News in Miami/Ft. Lauderdale.

.................................................

MIAMI (WSVN) -- The devout Jewish family of a brain dead 4-year-old girl insist on keeping her on life support, but doctor's say Florida law will not allow them. 

Aliza Schwab has been on life support at Jackson Memorial Hospital for about two weeks since a near drowning in her family's pool.  Several doctors have declared the little one brain dead, and claim that, by Florida law, the girl has to be taken off life support. "She's my daughter and I love her, and I'll do anything I can to keep her here with me, even if I have to go the farthest mile for it. Whatever it is, I'm willing to do it for her," said Esther Schwab, the girl's mother. 

Holtz Children's Hospital released a statement standing behind their care: "Our hearts go out to the Schwab family during this very difficult time. As always, Holtz Children's Hospital is committed to providing the highest quality medical care possible to all patients who enter our doors. The medical staff at Holtz, along with the pediatric bioethics committee, has been working with and informing the Schwab family on every aspect of the care delivered to their child."

The family refuses to abide that law and says that their religious beliefs dictate that for as long as the young girl has a heartbeat, she still has a life worth holding on to. "All the parents are asking for is the possibility to hope and the opportunity to have that hope actualized in trying to keep Aliza alive," said Menachem Mayberg, the family's attorney.

The family is now making a public plea to anyone or any facility that would like to help keep Schwab on life support under their medical vigilance to please contact their attorney.

It's tough work being little gods, but some are eager to play god at every turn. May we all see this for what it is, another step by the bioethickers to control who lives and dies in all aspects. Thread by wagglebee. Thanks TheSarce and Jo Nuvark for the ping.

I thought of Doug earlier this year when the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists began recommending broader prenatal testing for Down syndrome among younger pregnant women. Up until this year, they recommended that only older women who were pregnant be tested. But now, all mothers-to-be are routinely tested. The results? Over 90 percent of pregnant women who are given a Down syndrome diagnosis choose to have an abortion.

~Snip~

That new ruling by the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists is a sad reflection of the growing premise in our society that a person is "better off dead than disabled." Human beings are no longer being treated as people, but as things that can be dispensed with, altered, aborted, or euthanized. The medically fragile—whether the elderly, the unborn, or the children Doug serves—are left exposed and vulnerable in a society that has lost its moral bearings, its heart.

Planned Parenthood lies, because that is what PP does. Its father is the father of lies. PP projects its own evil onto the innocent in typical leftist fashion. Very revealing thread by wagglebee.

Planned Parenthood, trying to pressure Aurora, Ill., officials to allow a new superstore abortion clinic to open quickly even though it was deceptive in its permit applications, has launched an attack on area pro-lifers by citing their "violent tendencies," even though the claims at issue were rejected by the U.S. Supreme Court three times, including a rare unanimous decision just last year.

We have here a little bit on the growth industry of death in a thread by wagglebee.

With the world on the precipice of a genetics revolution, the Holocaust Museum Houston is about to shine a spotlight on one of the lesser-known architects of Nazi Germany's attempt to create a master race: doctors.

In a new exhibit and lecture series, "Medical Ethics and the Holocaust," the museum tells the story of physicians' enthusiastic participation in the murder of their own patients, then explores whether science's powerful new tools could lead to a new eugenics movement.

"It's a warning shot across the bow," Dr. Sheldon Rubenfeld, a Houston endocrinologist and the program's creator, said. "There'll always be a push for individuals, nations or races to dominate others — coming genetic capabilities will give them that potential more than ever before."

Eternal Vigilance made a powerful post in this thread on Rudy by asparagus. It is #48. Way to go, EV! Here is a part:

"This is an evil torn free of its moorings in reason and causality, an ordinary secular corruption raised to unimaginable powers of magnification and limitless extremity. Nelly Sachs, a poetess who wrote poems on the Holocaust in Europe and who won the Nobel Prize in 1966, wrote a poem called 'Chorus of the Unborn.' Permit me to give you a few lines. She said:

"We, the unborn, the yearning has begun to plague us as shores of blood broaden to receive us. Like dew, we sink into love but still the shadows of time lie like questions over our secret."
