Judge Greer Breaks Law to Ensure Terri Schiavo's Death
http://www.earnedmedia.org/tf0311.htm ^ | March 11 2005 | Christian Wire Service/

CLEARWATER, Fl., March 11 /Christian Wire Service/ –- On Tuesday and Wednesday, March 8 and 9, 2005, Sixth Circuit Judge George W. Greer issued three orders that all but assure the death of Terri Schiavo, beginning on Friday, March 18, 2005.

1.) Order Denying Food and Fluids Naturally After Gastric Tube Removal Greer ordered that the family of Terri Schiavo may not introduce oral nutrition and hydration following the removal of Terri's gastric feeding tube. Florida Statute 744.3215 (Rights of Persons Determined Incapacitated) require that incapacitated persons cannot be deprived of necessary services including food and water. Ordering that Terri Schiavo may not receive nutrition or hydration naturally is against the law, in the opinion of the Foundation.

2.) Order Denying Updated Medical Tests Greer ordered that no further neurological tests may be offered to Terri Schiavo, utilizing functional MRI to determine if she is in a 'persistent vegetative state' (As Greer found in 2002) or is her condition is 'minimally conscious'. Florida Statute 765.404 which defines persistent vegetative state require that the condition be determined and diagnosed as permanent prior to the withdrawal of life-prolonging means. Further, Florida Statute 765.309 prevents mercy killing and assisted suicide. Without determining the true neurological condition of Terri Schiavo prior to the withdrawal of foods and fluids, the Foundation finds Judge Greer's Order to remove Nutrition and Hydration a directive for her guardian to commit either a mercy killing or assisted suicide.

3.) Order Denying Relief from Judgment Greer denied an order from judgment based on his error in dismissing pertinent testimony in 2000 that would assist the court in determining Terri Schiavo's true end of life wishes. Under Florida Statute 765.404, clear and convincing evidence of the ward's intent for medical treatment must be established. The only evidence in support of removing Terri's feeding tube was the self-serving hearsay testimony of her guardian (which is not admissible under FS 90.602) and hearsay from two members of his immediate family. Greer systematically ruled that testimony from Terri's friends and family was unreliable or not credible. His failure to consider all evidence of Terri Schiavo's attitudes towards life-prolonging measures, in the Foundation's opinion, is a clear violation of Florida Statutes.

"If there is a single person following this who doesn't believe Judge Greer has legislated from the bench, trampled Florida's laws and deprived Terri Schiavo of her retained rights, they are simply not paying attention. Disability and Eldercare advocates need to be calling for his immediate impeachment." -- Pamela Hennessy, Media Director for the Terri Schindler-Schiavo Foundation:

You might want to try to keep up on this. Your post is old news. There are new things happening in this case. Try a search for "Terri" here on FR.

Oh I dunno that people (maybe a few here) realize that actual LAWS are being broken in this case by the Judge.

Still relevant for discussion though.

You might want to discuss the facts and not try to shut people up.

What ever happened with this challenge, Para?

"Your post is old news...."

Now that she has been subpoenaed by the House of Reps, they cannot touch her untill she "testifies"
We all know that this is a "test-case" for euthanazia in America.

He maketh her to lie down in green pastures --- That's Rest !!!

He leadeth her beside the still waters --- That's Refreshment !!!

He restoreth her soul --- That's Healing !!!

He leadeth her in the paths of righteousness --- That's Guidance !!!

For His name sake --- That's Purpose !!!

Yea, though Terri walk through the valley of the shadow of death --- That's Testing !!!

She will fear no evil --- That's Protection !!!

For Thou art with her --- That's Faithfulness !!!

Thy rod and Thy staff they comfort her --- That's Discipline !!!

Thou preparest a table before Terri in the presence of her enemies--- That's Hope !!!

Thou annointest her head with oil --- That's Consecration !!!

Her cup runneth over --- That's Abundance !!!

Surely goodness and mercy shall follow Terri all the days of her life --- That's Blessing !!!

And she will dwell in the house of the Lord --- That's Security!!!

Forever --- That's Eternity !!!

Face it ---- The Lord is crazy about Terri !!!

Otherwise --- Why else would He continuously deliver her from
the evil hands of her attempted murderers ???

Gosh; shame this woman being starved to death bores you.

Maybe if Hillary gets into office the Democrats can have incapacitated people tortured a little bit first so it can enhance their entertainment value for you.

My quick search revealed no such revelations as of yet.

I recall seeing the movie "Judgement at Nuremberg" and thinking "How can judges order such things to happen?" Looks like Judge Greer is showing the way it was/is done.

Now the question is, how long before the concept begins to be spread to other people in similar situations? Or will we stop it now before it gets out of hand?

Looks like Greer wants her dead as badly as her husband.

Perhaps Mike is pissed that Simpson and Blake got away with it, plain old folks like he and Scotty are still getting the shaft.
