Just heard on Fox that U.S. Senate will convene today in emergency session regarding Terri Schiavo.
Back at you....
Perhaps it helps you to understand how we see your statements and and faulty logic.
Just thought I'd add that I too, have seen a few post proclaiming "no CAT scans". I always correctit and tell whomever that it's no MRI and no PET scans. In this day when doctor's advise MRIs at the drop of a hat (yes, I've two), Terri should be allowed to partake of all that is available to her before such a fatal decision is made. IMO
Would you agree the death penalty is the same, we ought not to be doing that?
>"I'll bet the judge pulling the tube knows stories like this one, but doesn't care."<
This judge must have some agenda, I believe. maybe it's just ego, but perhaps he is a big supporter of active euthanasia . Heck, we've seen them on these threads; there is one woman who has even advocated for giving comatose people like this a lethal injection. What a hildeous person she seems to be.
>"I hope we all can be enough to rescue her."<
Well, maybe future cases comatose cases will be prohibited from killed by starving and dehydration, but I'm afraid the die has been cast for Terry Schiavo...(sigh)
"Are there any young women out there who would expect their husbands to sit by their bedside wiping their drool and cleaning their ass for 30 years? "
He doesn't have to. The Schindlers have offered to.
In fact, and I may be wrong because I just saw it here in a posted comment, not from another source, but I did read here that he was offered a lot of money ($10 million) to transfer the care of Terri to her parents.
I'm one. And thankfully my husband has been there to do that for me in the past years when he has been needed. He made that commitement to me in our marriage vows. And I made the same commitment to him.
Didn't the state learn anything during the war between the states...Federal law trumps state law. At least that's what I always thought till one day ago.
This is NUTS.
No govt. will have say over my private life and death decisions. I can't believe this overreaching and meddling. NOT what the Founders intended!
Of COURSE there's money, Hildy.
There's ALWAYS money.
That's why they say "follow the money."
Pinellas County is a crooked, oily backwater. Before he was elected Judge, Greer was a County Commissioner enmeshed in a swampland sale brouhaha.
Shortly afterward -- in conjunction with the deaths of both his parents in the same year and some substantial contributions from county bigwigs -- he suddenly found himself with enough money to run a judicial campaign.
There's more about all the crooked and/or demented personages involved in this case. Much more. You could do some research.
But NEVER say it's not about the money.
It ALWAYS is about the money.
Especially when you have people like this in a place like this.
In sickness and in health, til death do us part.
What does this have to do with Congressman Steve King?
To hell with insurance money! There are millions to be made through book deals, movie rights, speaking engagements. A lot of people stand to make enough money from this saga that they will be able to spend the rest of their long and sunshiney lives in wealth and without a care in the world.
You betcha there is an agenda with Greer etc. -- its the case law "precedents" the would-be killers are trying to set for a larger euthanasia agenda. And THAT agenda is yet in the bigger anti-God, anti-sanctity-of-life agenda of totalitarians. Remove God, remove sanctity of life, consider people and their "God-Given rights" as property of the State and you have....1984. That's what's REALLY going on here.
that is the Senate version.
I will take it.
Prepare and execute an advance directive for health care ("living will") and a durable springing power of attorney for health care.
wow...look Michael Schiavo actually joined thr Freep today and is posting.
De Lay angrily related how Mikey Schiavo denied his wife therapy, food, access to her parents, and other abuses for years, saying that he was clearly an unfit guardian who was only allowed to go forward by this one rogue judge.
Finishing up about Mikey, he angrily asked: "What kind of a man is he?!?"
He could have more than that on her. Any amount really. After all, at the trial the jury based her award on the premise that her life expectancy was another 50 years more.
