so you know more than all the Doctors and (impartial) experts who have examined her? Wow...
FYI: I have seen where guardianship of the money and guardianship of the body were split between two groups as a compromise. But in those cases there was no "new" family involved.
THERE'S NO MONEY.
The other end of things is that there is Mortuary Science. They usually have more success in their predictions, findings, statements etc.
I did not say I had hope. IMO the culture of death has stacked the deck for Terry's demise.
What this world rejects God will welcome.
I just saw Randall Terry on Fox giving a press conference asking people to call the 10 swing vote Senators that are right now leaning against Terri--
Unfortunately, he didn't tell us who those Senators are, and the Senate took a voice vote the other night, so how are we gonna call them if we don't know who they are?
Does anyone on this thread know who they are?
FOX News must be run by morons at least regarding this case, although the news guy who was just on did a pretty good job. Talking to a female attorney type who didn't know diddly squat. FOX News # again is 1-212-301-3000. They have a comment line and I finally punched #4 to correct them on mistakes they have made.
"And isn't it amazing to watch people defend this on the grounds that his wife isn't really alive, implying the marriage contract loses it's teeth based on her incapacited condition rendering his co-habitation and child producing justified, but then turn around and argue for her death based on the viability and sacrosanct nature of the marriage contract?"
Marriage like the Constitution is a living breathing changing document and says what they want it to say when they want it to say it. sarcasm/off
As for what kind of woman has children with a man whose wife is in this condition, a very stupid one. If he caused Terri's condition, she is just a fight away from where Terri is, but maybe the money MS has made off Terri calms her fears and blunts her suspicians.
On another thread I read that the stimulator can be removed - in fact, the doctor who inserted it recommended that it be removed and MS wouldn't allow that to happen either.
Back at you....
Perhaps it helps you to understand how we see your statements and and faulty logic.
I wasn't referring to your previous post, which you DID correct, Just my thoughts.
I've seen that statement made over and over and over on the threads.
Ah, but the doors that will be opened.
God Bless the Schindlers. They just may have precipitated a change in our country that will be historic.
I can personally testify that she killed 10 spotted owls and a dozen snail darters.
The State won't allow its power to be so diluted. The State can kill anyone, a private citizen cannot.
I should have been more clear but I'm rushing to start getting ready.
Other freepers, not you, have stated as though it's fact that Terri has no had a CAT scan. That's not true. SHe has has several CAT scans.
AlbionGirl, that's brilliant.
If I might add a few thoughts of my own?
This is a most difficult day in the lives of the Schiavo family. We have all exchanged articles on this volatile news item.
I decided to spend some time researching and reading about this case. It has been tough on many concerned. When she was first injured she was involved in various treatments but with no success. After about 5 years and having HIS wife's wishes finally observed he proceeded to have her life end. That she never would want to live this way. That she can once again be whole in the arms of our Heavenly Father.
Frankly did the machines keep her alive longer then intended. I suppose both sides can use that by saying if God wanted her to return he would have and if he didn't that was God's plan as well.
If this were to happen to me I am saying this to my friends and reminding Dave of my wishes. I would not wish to be in the state Terri is in I just wouldn't. I would not be a wife to him anymore. While he loves me and I love him I would not want him to live in the past. So Dave you have now been reminded. Further more, I am married to my love and I have spent many hours discussing many things and that if my mother were to become involved should I be in this state, requesting that she trump my husband, I would be outraged. Not that I do not love my mother and I am her daughter, I am however my husbands wife and that in the end trumps it all.
Again I am sharing how I feel. I cannot see into the marriage of the Schiavos marriage or relationship she had with her parents but in the end she is his wife and it is his duty and honor to in fact honor her.
He is doing just that. I know he his character is less then desirable and yes he has found comfort with another woman. Again, if this were me I would not want my husband to stop smelling the flowers, enjoying our pups' living in the past.
Finally, I am all for states rights. I am glad that Gov. Bush took interest in the last time of the feeding tube not be reinserted. He gave time for a review and that has occurred. I am outraged with Congress. I believe in the separation of powers. It is not it's place to stick it's nose into the issue of Ms. Schiavo.
I can tell you what tears me up. We have excelled in the area of machines keeping our bodies alive. I realize that are times when someone comes our of a long coma but it is rare. Her feeding tube is not a machine but she cannot tell you if she is hungry so for me it is a machine keeping her alive. I must confess I do not think I would want to die as a result of having no food or water. Which has not been discussed. I say that because if he had her wishes in writing I do believe folks would still be outraged. Which seems to me is about the method of how she will leave this world and into the arms of her Heavenly Father. Should there be another option, yes.
This is my personal opinion. I believe in life. I believe in states rights. Lastly, I believe in the bond of marriage and that my spouse if alive will make decisions as it pertains to my life when I cannot.
Finally what makes Free Republic great, that we can agree to disagree but in the process learn from one another.
It's been stated on dozens of Terri threads by various freepers that Terri never had a CAT scan. And that's not true.
I would like her to have an MRI too, if it's fact that she hasn't had one. I know she's had a lot of neurologists look at her and find it hard to believe that she hasn't had an MRI, but no one can find information that she HAS had an MRI.
It's been stated she did not have a CAT scan.
"Who said that? Of course she's had CT scans, which are useless in this case. She needs an MRI or PET."
This is a very good question. I can't wait for the answer you get. Interesting when you find accusations turn out to be misinformation planted.
IF they enforce the subpoena (cough cough), Terri would have to be taken out of the state. Would she have to be returned? That depends on what they really see.
