Eluana Englaro update...

Like here in the MSM, they make it sound as if the world wants innocent Eluana killed and abhors any effort to save her life. Ironic that in Italy, the health officials refuse to snuff her...

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

Italian health officials have defied a court order and refused to switch off life support for a woman in a 16-year coma.

Eluana Englaro, 35, has been in an irreversible coma since a car crash in 1992.

Her father Beppe Englaro has been campaigning for the past nine years to have the machine keeping her alive turned off.

Two months ago, a court ruled that the life-support system should be closed down, triggering accusations of euthanasia 'through the back door'.

Eluana is in a clinic in Lecco, near Milan. Carlo Lucchina, head of Lombardy health authority, said doctors would contravene 'professional duties and obligations' if they were to switch off the system.

Milan's court of appeal found in Mr Englaro's favour in July after he said his daughter had insisted she never wanted to be kept alive artificially.

Karen Weber update...

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

Permanent guardianship for former Toledoan Karen Weber, who is partially paralyzed from a stroke in December and at the center of a Florida feeding-tube dispute similar to that of the late Terri Schiavo’s, will not be decided for weeks.

Ms. Weber’s mother, Martha Tatro of Okeechobee, Fla., a retired Toledo Municipal Court employee who wants to keep her daughter’s feeding tube in place, has 10 days to give briefs to an Okeechobee County Circuit Court judge summing up points made at a hearing Wednesday, Ms. Tatro’s attorney, Joseph Rodowicz, said....

Ruling on ex-Toledoan’s feeding tube is weeks off
