From my friend in Clearwater Florida:
This doctor just examined Terri yesterday - keep in mind this is WHILE she is being starved and dehydrated and is the LEAST responsive she has ever been as death approaches. This doctor admits he assumed she was PVS...until he saw her and examined the records. The federal courts need to do the same! In Christ's love, Debi
"As I looked at Terri, and she gazed directly back at me, I asked myself whether, if I were her attending physician, I could in good conscience withdraw her feeding and hydration. No, I could not. I could not withdraw life support if I were asked. I could not withhold life-sustaining nutrition and hydration from this beautiful lady whose face brightens in the presence of others." - William Cheshire, Jr., MD 3/23/2005

Ping...
for a morning read
Will this effect a change, though? I hope so, but if it is up to the judicial system, they are in Michael's court, not hers!
Haven't a clue. All I want is for everyone to be on their knees. That IS the most powerful tool we have.
Thank's beautiful.Got to get some sleep.Good night.
Nite fatima. Sleep well, my friend.
Child of God...
We pray those judicial sinners...
Do not cause the hour of thy death...
Amen !!!
The courts are so addicted to process that Terri could get up and dance a jig, and they'd still rule the same.

I'm so very grieved to learn of this.

I'd always guess they only drink the fresh blood of innocent victims ala Uncle Screwtape

We're watching a murder unfold in front of our very eyes, on the national stage, and in slow motion.
