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.

ACTION: You can also contact the University of Florida President J. Bernard Machen at 352-392-1311 or president@ufl.edu.

We were discussing Dr. Death, and you were the one defending him, not me. I was here long before you, so your little accusation that I showed up here for your benefit is just plain silly.

Yep. A retread that claims to be pro-life, but promotes euthanasia. And has a distinctive way of wording things.

Wrong again. You're making this stuff up and that's dishonest. Post the quote or admit your mistake.

I'm tired of your game and it's past your bedtime. School tomorrow.

Here's what an honest poster does. If you can post where I supported this guy, I'll come back and eat crow and call your posse to the reply. If not, you do the same.

Deal?

You mean you’d like to retract your support for Dr. Death?

Well, I wondered how long I would be here before someone called me a troll for pointing out when some old timer was wrong. Thanx for showing your true colors.

Prove it and I’ll admit it. Until then.......... I’m sure your publishing of how liberals think may be of interest to yourself and your posse.

As I thought, you can’t produce to prove that you aren’t lying. I have no more time for your dishonest game.

I came across a similar troll on another thread a few days ago. He demanded that I repost his ramblings, to prove that he said what he said. I did, but it didn’t shut him up. Once or twice a day he still posts something idiotic to get my attention. He refuses to admit that any of his posts are his own.
