Terri Schiavo's Brother: Misinformation About Her Euthanasia Death Remains

Princeton, NJ (LifeNews.com) -- Terri Schiavo's brother Bobby Schindler has been on a speaking tour this week that's taking him to colleges and universities across the country. Schindler was at Princeton University on Tuesday and he told students there that misconceptions still exist about his sister's euthanasia death.
Terri died in March 2005 after her former husband won a court order to take her life despite requests from the Schindler family to provide her with medical and rehabilitative care.
Though more than three years have passed since the Schindler family's lost their years-long legal battle to save her life, Schindler says the public still wrongly believes some of the misnomers that appeared in the media.
Though Terri was not on artificial respiration and not in a persistent vegetative state, Schindler told the students many Americans still think that was the case and that Terri had no interaction with his family and that she had some sort of terminal illness.
Though much confusion still exists about Terris condition, Terri was not terminal or dying, and her brain injury was not going to cause her to die, Schindler said, according to a Daily Princeton report.
He said Michael Schiavo, who is now remarried to the woman he dated during the debate over Terri's life, also made up his mind about Terri's condition without basing his opinion on the facts.
Theres no doubt in my mind that Michael [Schiavo] fabricated the [death] wishes and that his brother and sister did as well and that they perjured themselves in front of the judges, the newspaper said Schindler said.
Schindler told the students he's worried about the long-lasting effects of the debate surrounding his sister and that more Americans will see disabled people like Terri as a "non-person."
There is no such thing as a person who is a non-person. There is no one so disabled that they have lost their value or dignity, Schindler said. He said such a view would be akin to walk[ing] down the same path that led to the Nuremberg trials.
Once you achieve emotional distance from people who are different from you, it is easy to look the other way while they are being killed, he added.
Ultimately, according to the Princeton newspaper, Schindler said Americans need to stand up and fight for the disabled, terminally ill and others who are in jeopardy of becoming the next victims of euthanasia.
We need to fight today to protect those among us who need our care, Schindler said. Its our dream in the future that legal bigotry against the disabled will be as taboo as insulting someones ethnicity."

I do not see a single familys disputed decision as the culture of death. I am well aware that the culture of death as long denied its own existence, but thanks for the reminder.

It is hard to see well with blinders especially when they are too big and slip down over the eyes.

I am not saying I support or dont support the final decision. Actually you are saying that you supported it, but at the same time you are adopting Clintonian tactics of being on both sides of the issue.

I am pro life. I do not shout it from the rooftops. Well, you're in good company, even Barack Obama is claiming to be pro-life these days.
All I am saying is that the woman is dead and its time to let her go.
Then why are YOU still posting about Terri?
It was settled by a court of law.
Really? When was the trial de novo? When did those subpoenaed appear before Congress?

I think its time to coin a phrase to describe those of you whose life is totally dedicated to this case and are so obsessed with it that you cant let this poor woman rest in peace. I think Schiavonistas does nicely. Well, I consider you and your ilk to be deathbot trolls. If you want to call us "Schiavonistas" you certainly have the right to do so. Though it should be pointed out that, with the exception of Terri, WE supported the Schindlers, YOU and your ilk supported the blood-thirsty Schiavos.
Let the family have some peace.
Has is escaped your notice that the Schindlers WANT Terri's Legacy to succeed?
Two thousand years ago, you and your ilk would have been saying, "Jesus is dead already, let the family have some peace, just move on."

Did you ever have to sit in biology lab as a high schooler and be given a pickled frog to examine? We had to. Ugghh. But we tugged it apart and saw how it was made. I imagine bot flies are about the same but not much there to examine, only disgusting mush. All we see with the files is the basic parts we can see any day of the week on the ends of our fly swatters including the death and doo doo sensors.

Nope, we spent about two months dissecting fetal pigs. To this day I still remember the smell of the formaldehyde.
I don’t really want to know what makes the death bot flies tick, I just want to smash them. And that reminds me that a week from today is the one year anniversary of the bug zapper thread.

Looks like sprouting of springtime as the critters trek through. They bring clusters of flies with them. Be careful, good folks, not to step in anything and get your shoes dirty.

The absolute cruelty of a mother who would do that to her daughter is beyond belief! I just hope this monster doesn’t have custody of Laurens child.

First of all, I am very sorry for the loss of your parents. I lost both of my parents at a relatively young age. I was 29. They weren’t even old yet. But the difference here is that your dad wanted to die. Terri didn’t.

Murder is not a private family matter. There is a federal law against it. A person is not allowed to murder their spouse according to federal law. There are people in the courts who will have to answer to G-d for the murder of Terri Shaivo.

Your post is nonsense. Perhaps you are misinformed about the case. Many people have been. An innocent woman was tortured to death. There were also many violations of laws and ethics that it would be too long to list here. I recommend you read “Martin Katz on Terri Schiavo” in the American Thinker. It was also posted on FR.

Two thousand years ago, you and your ilk would have been saying, "Jesus is dead already, let the family have some peace, just move on." Would have? That is exactly what they're saying.
Mat 25:35 For I was an hungred, and ye gave me meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me drink: I was a stranger, and ye took me in: Mat 25:36 Naked, and ye clothed me: I was sick, and ye visited me: I was in prison, and ye came unto me.
Mat 25:37 Then shall the righteous answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee an hungred, and fed [thee]? or thirsty, and gave [thee] drink?
Mat 25:38 When saw we thee a stranger, and took [thee] in? or naked, and clothed [thee]?
Mat 25:39 Or when saw we thee sick, or in prison, and came unto thee?
Mat 25:40 And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done [it] unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done [it] unto me.
Mat 25:41 Then shall he say also unto them on the left hand, Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels:
Mat 25:42 For I was an hungred, and ye gave me no meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me no drink:
Mat 25:43 I was a stranger, and ye took me not in: naked, and ye clothed me not: sick, and in prison, and ye visited me not.
Mat 25:44 Then shall they also answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee an hungred, or athirst, or a stranger, or naked, or sick, or in prison, and did not minister unto thee?
Mat 25:45 Then shall he answer them, saying, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye did [it] not to one of the least of these, ye did [it] not to me.
Mat 25:40 And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done [it] unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done [it] unto me.

The media is doing a dispicable disservice to the public by not reporting the facts in cases like this. They deliberately misled the public and I believe, aided in the murder of Terri.

Could you tell me how to get on the Terri ping list? Thanks. First you need to send 8mm a check for $5000.00 and then if the check clears we vote on you. :-)
Just kidding, 8mm will add you to the list.
