Thank you for relating this story, BillyBob.

Likewise I do not grieve so much for Terri. It is her family who need comfort and her tormentors who need one's prayers: for the judgment against them is terrible.

Greer puzzles me. I don't think he's doing this for money. His rulings are so partial and bizarre, it seems to me more and more suggestive that he is covering up a crime -- and is himself part of this crime. What the crime might be, I don't know. I'm just observing his increasingly frantic behavior and weird decisions. I can't see that "follow the money" can explain actions this desperate. Fwiw.

You are correct, it is NOT all about money. Many do not understand the BATTLE BEHIND the BATTLE....

...There is an agenda with Greer etc. -- it's 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.

This is part of the Godless machinery to devalue life and make this NO LONGER a government OF, BY and FOR the PEOPLE. This is 'Brave New World' and '1984' totalitarian stuff, inhumane monsters hiding behind "law" playing God.

And from all the research Calpernia and others have posted, Greer probably thinks he IS God. The 'legally blind' issue is MOOT--Helen Keller was TOTALLY blind, deaf and mute--yet compassionate and humanitarian. Greer is sick and wicked and a tool being evilly used...KNOWINGLY.

If we re-frame the debate into a perspective of Culture of (Sanctity of) Life vs. Culture of Death, it would seem that FIRST we would seek to give nourishment to someone like this. It would seem that before we would 'pull the plug' we would also give access to OBJECTIVE PEOPLE who have no vested interest in Terri's life or death. It would seem--consider the amount of money invested to save seagulls and sea lions contaminated by tanker oil spills--we would make effort to rehabilitate somebody who has the fight, the spirit, the will to live.

Absolutely it is foolish--and costs increase geometrically--to try to continue human life to the 'cryogenic-and-hope-to-thaw' extreme. There are some who have been kept on life support whose brain (I am recalling from memory, not citing cases) had practically liquefied. This isn't compassion--this is denial. HOwever, I do NOT believe Terri is in this predicament. I believe there is a conspiracy among Greer, the HINO etc. to snuff this woman.

Let us all pray to God for wisdom and pray for ALL our leaders, elected and appointed, through somehow, God will work out His will. God is still sovereign; this is STILL One Nation, Under God.

Thanks for the heartfelt post, John. May God have mercy on Terri and us all.

Greer's connection to the hospice bothers me. I've read different things where he was on the board of directors for the parent company or his wife was. And Michael's lawyer is really into this "right-to-die" stuff. And the Medicaid/Medicare investigation into the hospice corp. - just a lot of strange connections. Definitely not a normal "probate" matter.

"It is her family who need comfort and her tormentors who need one's prayers..."

Definitely. Bobby Schindler was on tv this morning (I think was FNC sometime after 9am) saying that people should pray for Terri, but to also pray for Michael Schiavo because he's so lost his way. It was as pure an intention as I've ever heard. May God bless Terri's family who need His comfort.
