That's right, but remember Hillary is a "Methodist." As is G.W. Bush!

That's insane!

Hey, supply and demand. I haven't heard Terri complain about it, have you?

It's her money that the HINO is spending to get her killed.

If Greer has married and split with 3 women as has been reported... he might not be in the best of standing with those folks.

The church should call George W. Greer to the front and ask why he would starve and dehydrate a person whose original family members want to take her home and care for her there. I bet he would not submit to such a challenge.

Let me get this right....this law is unconstitutional because sections of public opinion oppose it?

I really hope they don't believe this. I know I don't.

Yes, but have you heard her complain? Terri had "deep pockets", and could thus afford the lawyer's full retail rate (until she reached the point of "empty pockets" anyway).

Had she been receiving therapy for the past 10 years, instead of isolation, perhaps we may well have heard her complain.

No doubt. Of course, Felos could just have found some doctor to testify that the squawks she was making were "just reflex" and Judge Greer would have been free to allow Terri's slaughter.

Good point.........I didn't catch that when I read that.

You are right, I speak of her and think of her as "Terri".....

And I'm glad I do.....

Listen to this:

http://www.npr.org/features/feature.php?wfId=1476505

Disability rights activist Rus Cooper-Dowda, who had once been diagnosed as being in a "persistent vegetative state," shares her perspective on the Terri Schiavo case.

Cooper-Dowda was in the hospital listening to the nurses talk about unplugging her, and she tried to letters with her hand, but they would sedate her.

The case of Hugh Finn is very simular to Terri's only his wife was successful.
His chid and mother-in-law and parents wanted the feeding tube left in but the courts sided with his wife.

Another sad case.
