I believe this article as much as I believe Der Sturmer, the official Nazi Party news publication.
WHICH "experts"? An article that isn't willing to quote real sources is pretty much bunk.
These people would have us ignore what our own eyes tell us, and what the family tells us.
I am glad Bush is taking her into protective custody. There are plenty of other so-called experts who say something different about Terri, including the one the Florida protective services people used from Mayo today.
When there is doubt like this, differing medical opinions, when the family is split like it is...you err on the side of life.
Bush understands this and is acting accordingly.
Cripes, I'm getting more and more %&#!ing confused with each new article.
It seems like everyone has a different idea of what PVS is and whether Terri Sciavo has it.
My current favorite was the "news" report yesterday that "experts" claim people starving to death experience euphoria.
One of these days I'm going to make a compilation of all the thoroughly ridiculous things that journalists allege "experts agree" on.
I saw a video where someone asked her to open her eyes and she opened them really wide. It wasn't a reflex. So what if her life is similar to that of a baby. That doesn't mean she should die.
whatever. she stays alive when fed, and that about settles it.
What does it have to do with the courts siding with some appearent prick on hearsay testimony?
Is this article really trying to ellude to killing a person if they are in a PVS no matter what!?
Does anyone ever stop and ask these "experts" if they are pro-choice?
Because I'd bet most of them are. And therefore, their motives are suspect.
"It's just gas."
I don't know what her real medical condition is, and I accept the possibility the doctors on either side are correct. But the case still troubles me and I wouldn't remove the tube at this point due to all the familiar facts - differences in medical opinions and observations, the husband's estrangement, and teh parents' desire to provide additional care.
I guess it all depends on which experts you ask.
We need more STUDIES!
I think there needs to be more clinical research to determine what is at work here.
I submit Terri Schiavo as an excellent case study. Would you agree she should be taken from the hospice, put back on the tube, given fluids, food and electrolytes, therapy and further therapeutic help, further congnitive analysis, and we can conduct even more and detailed tests? I agree! We could do those tests for the next number of weeks or months, maybe even a few years or more comprehensive tests studying reflexes, will, PVS, etc. Now you do realize that meanwhile that would give others of us chance to get her parents back into true guardianship from her former spouse who is now engaged to be remarried.
Since this is such a controversial issue and the data is incomplete and the jury is out, we should side on the side of care and life, as research continues. Yeah, maybe we SHOULD study these PVS-reflex-willing movement cases more closely!
Who are you gonna believe, *US* or your *LYING EYES*?
Experts said that the HMS Titanic could not sink.
Last I checked, she's two miles below the waves.
I do not place much faith in 'experts'. They are wrong more often than not.
At one point "experts" thought the Earth was flat.
Experts say "Who are you going to believe, us or your own eyes?".
