And you joined just to post this?
Here kitty-kitty.
This **** again?
No, thanks.
Get the net!
I smell ozone.
Welcome to Free Republic. At least you didn't post a vanity on your first day.
Sad the afflicted with zot-a-mania took the first posts. I like this essay, and damn them for their idiocy of zot.

I've read the report.
the global cortical degeneration is clearly stated as being quite old, as is the degeneration of the occipital lobes.
It seems you did not read the report with any care for details.
You also apparently know little about science or medical forensics. Whereas experimental data must be gathered at least three times for a legitimate sample, and the experimental process must be repeated independently at least once to provide any degree of corroboration, this does not mean that more than one mediocal examiner must examine a corpse to determine cause of death - anymore than more than one observer is required to discover that a baseball has shattered a window: A fact is a fact, irrespective of how many observers are involved in its discovery.
Moreover, IF you had read the report, you would be aware that far more than three samples were taken of Mrs. Shiavo's brain... dozens in fact were taken. All samples, when compared to benchmark data from a number of other such corpses in the neuromedical database, confirm the analysis: Global cortical degeneration as a result of hypoxia.
The requirements of Law, Medical Forensics, and Science are well satisfied.
Yet, so it seems, you are not.
This leads me to ponder the likelihood that your appeals to science are a cloak for another, utterly implacable, source of discontent.
So, in all respect, what is your beef, really?
If you have something to say, say it here.
What a pile of cow flop.

Your points about the autopsy are well-made. Exactly how many twelveth day death-by-dehydration have been reliably medically examined? Exactly how much does a brain diminish by the multiple starvations (three) Terri was forced to endure?
Despite the denials -- and its easy to be a denier, to admit murder by Judge is VERY threatening to the comfort of most, and people are VERY comfort-seeking. The truth uncomfortable rarely is seen when shadowed by a more comfortable option.

Good rant. The headline in my newspaper (Fresno Bee) read, "Florida woman blind, beyond hope" as if being blind made her even more beyond hope.
