Sorry if this is somewhere else...I saw it in my e-mail this am and was thrilled that a voice of reason is coming forward. Wolfson appeard to be a wet noodle last year and I think his present comments are very important to get the truth out and in the open.
Of course, this nonchalant, innocent sounding statement assumes there is no point to her living in her present state.
No wonder the average Joe on the street, if he's even heard of the case, thinks Terri Schiavo barely even exists in a vegetative state and is being kept alive only by machines.
EUTHANASIA - Often disguised by the name "mercy killing," euthanasia also is a form of homicide. No person has a right to take his own life, and no one has the right to take the life of any innocent person.
In euthanasia, the ill or elderly are killed, by action or omission, out of a misplaced sense of compassion, but true compassion cannot include intentionally doing something intrinsically evil to another person (cf. EV 73).

TERRI SCHIAVO PING!
Next time, you might consider news.google-ing some key words and picking a story to post.
(No offense intended. Just offering some help. :-)
Terri ping
Well, I don't post articles very often and I did do a FR search on key words....didn't see it.
I suspect Wolfson, as her guardian for those short months, has commented because (I'm hoping) he *did* see that she's not what HINO/Felos/Greer are claiming her to be. And that maybe his conscience and a little whisper from God urged him to speak up.
I'm hoping, anyway.
This whole thing has my spirit weeping.
Praying.

The Perfect Murder: Florida Officials Must Impanel Grand Jury in Alleged Schiavo Abuse
This is just heartless!
So, it is. I propose that we rename the lines in the national anthem to "land of the enslaved and home of the heartless!"
What's truly tragic about this is if they get away with murdering this woman in the name of "mercy", who is next? Alzheimer's patients? Folks in wheel chairs? Take a number in a nursing home? As urgent as it is to rescue Terri, it goes even further than that...this trend to kill our people needs to stop...now.
Somebody please explain to me how you half-kill someone? What kind of deal do you make between somebody who wants a person dead and somebody who wants the person to live? She's already maimed and disabled so that can't be the point of agreement.
Wolfson seems "fairer" now than he did at the time of his initial appointment. However, George W. Greer essentially ignored him entirely. I think that Terri should live as she is, whether she can swallow or not, and I think that she can probably swallow certain soft foods. I wonder if Wolfson has reentered the picture to make himself well-known or to offer a last-ditch hope for Terri. I don't think George W. Greer will listen to anyone or anything. That still small voice in his head is motivating George W. Greer, and it could not be the voice of GOD. Impossible Giatmaltyfor
Thanks for the heads up. I don't trust this guy because he knows that her death isn't imminent and so it doesn't matter if she is disabled or brain dead....they are not supposed to hasten her death. Terri is only being fed through a tube. She should have never been unhooked from her feeding tube the first time
Terri ping ! If anyone would like to be on/off my Terri ping list, please let me know by Freepmail.
Terri Schiavo caused me to get a new living will, for I would never want what has happened to Terri to happen to me.
Terri's so called "husband" abandoned her for another money, and has even fathered children, and he wants Terri dead, and look how far the law has allowed this mercenary to go.
Our laws are NOT protecting people!
