I agree, Spotted Owl.
It was one of the best dreams I ever had.
Don't you mean nightmare, I mean Oprah was in your dream. Never mind, she's rich, that's all that matters.
For personal reasons, I have not visited the Terri sites recently.
However, today I heard an item of interest on the radio. It seems that organ transplant recipients are being encouraged to take organs from "less than perfect" donors, i.e. elderly people.
IMHO the organ transplant industry and IVF organizations are very much suspect in the push for euthanasia. Is harvesting donor eggs from young female accident victims allowed/commonplace? Does anyone know?

You little raptor - I love you - I love you - I do I do.
That was superb!
ROTFLMAO and believe me - I need a laugh.

Possibly others might have a better link or two.
I found an article in the Jewish Week (on-line) that had this statement to make about the halachic perspective of Terri's death.
Those who distinguish nutrition and hydration from other forms of medical treatment note that withdrawal of this form of support is frequently an independent cause of death by gradual starvation and hydration, and not from the underlying disease, Ritholtz wrote.
He said that from a halachic perspective, a persistent vegetative state and Alzheimers disease are not terminal conditions, per se, despite the fact that they are progressive, irreversible and inevitably result in death.
Patients with these illnesses, Ritholtz wrote, deserve the same full range of treatment that is made available to any other patient.

It's a tough call, but I find being trampled by 300,000 Mongolian ponies marginally more disagreeable than appearing on Oprah. Fortunately in my dream, it was Jim King who had to suffer both of these indignities. That makes for mighty fine dreaming :-)
I have heard of egg harvesting from aborted female babies. Apparently when you are conceived, all the eggs you'll ever have are present, even as a fetus. Pretty wild. Nothing would surprise me at this point. I always thought that IVF involved at least using one's own eggs.
We all need a laugh. Thanks :)
Well it does say
Within 30 days of receiving the proposed amendment, the Attorney General must petition the Supreme Court and request an advisory opinion regarding compliance with the proposed ballot and format requirements. The Supreme Court has no deadline for issuing an opinion.
If the Court approves the petition, the proponents must gather the rest of the signatures needed to place the initiative on the ballot. The Court may not rule on the content of the petition. They can disallow an initiative for two reasons. One reason is if the ballot summary does not accurately reflect what the amendment is proposing. The second is if it violates Florida's strict single subject requirement.
So no deadline for the Sups to issue an opinion. Theoretically one could go through all the motions, get the amendment on the ballot and approved by the voters of Florida 'then' they someone could challenge the constitutionality of the law.
Yes it's sick and those were mild compared to the majority of it. I don't think it's a lot of people either, maybe just a couple or one even.
There is NOTHING extreme in any of these faith's, or almost every Conservative of note's, position. And for poor Terri: Death by hearsay.
Reprehensible.
Can you imagine getting up everyday, not knowing where your daughter's remains are? Not being able to go lay flowers on those days when you feel like it, on those days when you need to be close to your daughter? It makes me livid.....how dare MS keep that info from them?!?!?!
I wonder how Michael's defenders, word-takers, and apologists feel in being faced THEMSELVES with what you wrote....

Still waiting for justice for Terri. Any word about the autopsy?
I am not surprised since Michael obviously is a sadistic sociopath. How perverted not to let the parents know where their daughter is buried, if anywhere. And all the nasty things Michael has done to Terri and her family!
"Any word about the autopsy?"
I'm wondering why the delay on the autopsy. Can Greer keep it from the public?
