Of course, the Schiavo-Felos-Greer triumvirate does not regard removal of a feeding tube as "euthanasia" but a "natural process."

So True....

WND incorrectly reported that Felos is an advocate of euthanasia. Felos stresses he advocates the withdrawal of feeding tubes, but opposes euthanasia, which he defines as "the active intervention of an external agent to end a life" and, as he pointed out, is a criminal act. Further, Felos said he is a staunch supporter of better end-of-life care for patients which he believes will reduce public support for euthanasia and asssisted suicide. WND regrets the error.

Halting feedings is NOT "the active intervention of an external agent to end a life"? What kind of double speak is that? And how did WND ever swallow that malarkey -- did he threaten to sue them for a jillion bucks?

What if, PURELY hypothetically speaking :-), I suspended George Felos out the 100th story of a tall building then cut the rope? There would be no "active intervention of an external agent to end his life" -- only the very natural meeting with the pavement.

What doofuses does he take us for?

Still, in Terri's case Felos' position is a distinction without a difference. Removing a feeding tube in Terri's case is the same as ending her life. If the tube stays in, she continues to live.

Oh, I see, so Felos doesn't want "Dr. Death" type people ending terminally ill people's lives, but he advocates more cruelly, just letting them die with no food or water.

I don't advocate either for terminally ill OR disabled. Felos wants this advanced form of population control.


He really is sick. The more I read about him and his "stuff" the more I get the creeps. If Mrs. Browning did make a noise, it wasn't because she was still here, it is because she was suffering at being starved.

What the hell is wrong with him? Felos lack ANY type of humanity. He is a Nazi doctor!

We need to spread the word about him. I never even knew who he was or what he has been doing until Terri's case came about.

Not only is God keeping her alive and WILL deliver her from her enemies, but I believe one day she WILL tell her story and confront the murderer Felos.

This is also God's way to get the masses (us) to band together to show was Felos and his followers are.

Right do die? Spare me. This is right to murder.
