This case has been controversial for a long time. Facts are out there which make this probably the most crooked court and mishandled case ever.
1)Terri demonstrates too much cognition to be considered PVS. Brain damage is not the same thing.
2)Besides which, new research is changing the definition of and the prognosis for PVS.
3) NOBODY HAS A CLUE about what Terri's wishes would have been, the court's decision aside. Schiavo's very delayed convenient memory of her statement is self-serving. That's being kind.
4)Her priest and bishop have only rarely been allowed by Schiavo to visit her, and she a devout Catholic. She recognizes her priest and laughs at his jokes.
5)The medical care allowed by Schiavo is totally inadequate, to the point that Schiavo should be investigated for negligence. As guardian, he is BY LAW required to provide the care she needs, the care that should have been paid for by the income from the suit and the insurance. She should be in a convalescent hospital where therapy is allowed. Hospices are for the terminally ill, which she is not.
6)Schiavo has in fact deliberately denied Terri the most basic medical and dental care which would be routine to any handicapped or disaled person.
7) There is no right to abuse or neglect a disabled person because they are inconvenient.
Bump. Nice synopsis.
A lot of us here have pretty much determined that
jbane is a troll, trying to make trouble.
