New York Times, aka NYET, just noted the parallel event to Terri in this Clift hanger...

Tiny excerpt here.

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

Your husband, Tom Brazaitis, died without fanfare in your living room in Washington — in sharp contrast with Terri Schiavo, whose far-more-public death is also recounted in your book. Tom died one day before Schiavo. It was bitter and angry for all the people around her, especially her parents, who did not want to accept the fact that she could not be rehabilitated. They found enough people to fool them into thinking she could............

Haleigh Poutre update..

Friends of Haleigh keep the spotlight focussed lest we forget, and now especially as all is coming into the open.

Life News put out this story on Haleigh Poutre.....

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

Boston, MA (LifeNews.com) -- Haleigh Poutre nearly became a victim of euthanasia when doctors gave up hope on her after she entered a coma and state officials, who had custody, petitioned a court to let them take her life. Poutre showed unmistakable signs of consciousness just prior to her possible euthanasia and now the young girl is talking more about what happened.

The Massachusetts Department of Social Services eventually took 14-year-old Poutre into custody after she was hurt in a case of child abuse.

When she appeared to slip into a coma, the agency asked the state Supreme Court for permission to take her life.

Doctors declared Haleigh "brain dead" and in a permanent vegetative state but that's when Poutre began responding.

She began to interact with people and now, according to the Republican newspaper, is talking more.

Information about Poutre's condition has been sparse over the last 18 months and the last details had her at Franciscan Hospital for Children in Boston getting rehabilitative care.

Poutre's biological mother, Allison Avrett, who also has abused Haleigh, wouldn't talk with the newspaper about her current condition.

At the time she was initially hospitalized, DSS had argued Poutre had "the least amount of brain function that a person can have and still be considered alive." State officials later said that a brain injury and stroke left "the child [with] no hope of any meaningful recovery."

Noted attorney and bioethics watchdog Wesley Smith says Poutre's is another case where a life and death decision is made based on a quality of life ethic.

"Accepting the 'quality of life ethic,' which is promoted so heavily among bioethicists, led to the Department of Social Services and the Supreme Court of Massachusetts to approve taking a little girl's food and water away," he said.

"No thanks to them, she lives, is in rehab, and apparently is talking," he added.

Meanwhile, investigators have learned more information from Poutre about her step-father, Jason D. Strickland, who has been charged with assaulting the girl. Poutre apparently has confirmed that Strickland abused her and is providing more details.

Your post 559. MIKEY WITHOUT OVERSIGHT, CUT OFF TERRI'S REHABILITATION bk in 1992 or 1993. Death cult judges failed in their oversight to kick Mikey out as the guardian.

Even without rehab, Terri was by all accounts (except the propagandists for the left) content and had a sense of humor and bad days too like everyone may have.

TERRI'S REHAB MONEY WAS WHISKED AWAY TO Debra Bushnell, at law and GEORGE FELOS, at law. Whatever hidden policies Mikey had are unknown but remember Jodi his linebacker bride is an insurance underwriter.

What a set up.

Now, there's a dead woman from Mikey's portion of the jail he works at courtesy of Sheriff Everett Rice who QUIT being Sheriff to BECOME UNOPPOSED to the Fla Legislature where HE VOTED TO END TERRI'S LIFE in 2005 shortly after HE HIRED MIKEY.

This is more wicked than Harry Potter cuz Harry Potter is fiction.
