Bump!

[dandelion]

I am praying with you as well God is God and we have not yet lost this case.

I do not deny anyone's right to have a living will if they so chose, but please be advised that even a living will is not a panacea for what you think you want right now. Be very careful to look at the language of the document carefully and find out what each term means legally and medically. You may be disappointed with what you discover. Then again, it may suit you just fine. I'm just saying that it IS a legal document, so it may be enforced in ways that you haven't thought of right now.

The living will is not the only thing wrong with Terri's situation. Funny thing is that if they succeed in pulling her tube another time, and eventually she dies from her lack of food and water, we may have legally provided for another way for a person to not need a living will at all. Precedent will be set for allowing hearsay testimony about your desires, whether you said them or not, or whether you wanted it or not.

This ruling is the next step on the slippery slope towards legalizing euthanasia outright.

TAMPA, Fla. (AP) - A former court-appointed advocate for a brain-damaged woman at the center of a right-to-die battle says the woman should undergo new medical tests to put to rest lingering questions about whether she has any hope of recovery.

This is odd, given Wolfson's 2003 findings when he was acting as Terri's guardian ad litem:

Wolfson assessed Terri's case by reviewing hundreds of court documents, interviewing family members, doctors and specialists, and visited Terri on several occasions.

He eventually claimed Terri is in a persistent vegetative state and determined that Terri had no chance of recovery.

TY lonevoice. I have been looking for that link. I'm thinking...he might have followed the money.

[floriduh voter]

Wow! What do you know, this former guardian's conscience is starting to bother him. This is great news. ALL THE PRAYERS AND LOBBYING IS STARTING TO GAIN MOMENTUM FOR TERRI.

Not everyone over here wants to be on the death squad after all.

[floriduh voter]

Yes, Wolfson stated that Terri "has a distinct presence" and needed swallowing tests. Shortly thereafter, he was terminated as Terri's GAL by Judge David Demers, Chief Judge Pinellas Cty.

These judges think they are god. It's a real shame.

[floriduh voter]

And, for the first time, THE US DOJ is looking into The Perfect Murder. I don't know if someone emailed the link to The Empire Journal web site or if it was because we've been calling Senator Lindsey Graham to help bust this crime wide open. Graham was a military prosecutor and he's a stickler about civil rights laws and from the Bible belt here in the South.

"What do you know, this former guardian's conscience is starting to bother him."

FV, I don't think his conscience is guiding his comments.

[floriduh voter]

I just think that Wolfson doesn't want his reputation to get dragged into the mud when all the wrongdoing sees the light of day which it will.

American is outraged and Florida is getting the embarrassment they deserve for letting Florida become a judicial dictatorship where even the Governor refuses to take Terri out of Hospice into protective custody. REFUSES.

[floriduh voter]

Sometimes typos are more revealing than what you actually meant to type.

"Terri's so called "husband" abandoned her for another money"

It works either way "woman" or "another money". The another money though WAS TERRI'S TO BEGIN WITH.

[floriduh voter]

Maybe he's worried about his reputation as an expert? Maybe he doesn't want to be stereotyped in with our slimy judges and law enforcement.

Or, you're right. They may be playing good cop bad cop for disinformation purposes so they can say "we tried but there's no hope" which would also be b.s.

Knowing that the US DOJ is looking into this is such a BREAKTHROUGH! It just happened today.

[floriduh voter]

Wolfson is still on the bad team. This is a ruse.

[Victoria Delsoul]

Barbara Weller, an attorney for parents Bob and Mary Schindler, said the offer of an independent medical panel was made by Michael Schiavo as late as the end of last year, but the Schindlers were hesitant to accept such a suggestion.

Hmmm, sort of like a preemptive strike? I wonder how independent is the panel.

[windchime]

IMO, yes.

[Future Useless Eater]

>>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.

Wolfson was a VERY wet noodle last year. It would be a bad idea to sink too much hope into that judicial-suckup again.

[Future Useless Eater]

>>a new medical examination is needed to put to rest the years-long battle over whether Terri has any chance of recovering from her disabilities should she be given the medical care and rehabilitation she's been denied for a decade.

That jack@ss is also trying to frame the debate over whether or not she can RECOVER.

Never mind that other family member would be happy to take over her permanent care AS-IS, without ANY further recovery.

[Ohioan from Florida]

True, it need not be based on Terri's recovery, although the law is written that such a determination must be made before the tube can be pulled.

I think it's more like high time that Greer gets the guardianship hearing going instead of constantly postponing it. Then if he still rules in Michael's favor, it would be absolutely clear that he's been bribed. Otherwise, there is NO REASON to let Michael remain her guardian any longer. He has broken too many guardianship laws already. It cannot be ignored.
