How's this for 'In your Face' ?
You're not going to believe this, but on the other hand - given the bizare circumstances of everything else related to Terri Schiavo's death, you probably guessed it already. George Felos is apparently seeking speaking engagements, for money of course, to further the cause of judicial homicide and social acceptance of active euthanasia.
- from a reader's email
George Felos has enlisted the help of a talent agency to help sell his death package.
(...) He fought successfully in U.S. courts at every leveland overcame the Congress and both Governor Bush and President Bushfor Terri Schiavos right-to-die.
(...) At the podium, Felos electrifies audiences by using the Schiavo case as an illustration to explore the clash between fundamental liberties and how individual constitutional rights and ethics are eroding in todays society.
(...) Felos has championed the cause of death with dignity since the late 1980s, when he argued the landmark case in Florida, which established an individuals constitutional right to refuse or have withdrawn unwanted medical treatment. Since that time as an attorney, author (Litigation as Spiritual Practice), educator, Hospice patient volunteer, and Board Chair of the worlds largest non-profit hospice, he has guided patients and their families in their quest for humane and dignified end-of-life-care.
(...) Mr. Felos frequently appears on television and radio programs around the world, including Today, Good Morning America, Early Show, Larry King Live, On the Record with Greta Van Sustern, The O'Reilly Factor, Inside Edition, All Things Considered, and the BBC, among others. He resides in Florida.

It struck me that any grocery store, convenience store or restaurant in the area would commit treason against the human race if it sold food or drink to Judge Greer, George Felos, Deborah Bushnell and Michael Schiavo.
I informed my sons, who are in charge of my "senior years health decisions", that I WANT WATER, in ANY situation, if it is my time to die, water won't keep me alive!!!!!
The BIGGEST ISSUE, to me, is that to ask a loved one to withhold food/water, and witness a long, ugly death, is a VERY SELFISH THING to do.
Therefore, I wouldn't ask any of my family to perform this and leave them with possible guilt feelings. You might suggest to your daughter this idea, that real love would never ask a dear one to do that.
Also, it is medically documented that a very high possibllity during this type of "death process" is seizures, and anyone who has ever seen a loved one suffer a seizure NEVER wants to see it again.
Sick MF'er isn't he????
