The article itself is a testament to what Terri's fight is about. The inconvenient have been given a death sentency by the courts. Of course the Heralds' wildly leftist leaning will try and blame anyone with the name "Bush".
It is very interesting how the Herald also BURRIED this article in the back pages of the paper today.
Gotta give them their "dignity" somehow?
Hitler started with homeless vets, then moved on to the children, then to the elderly/terminally ill. then he got to the Jews and political opponents. Wake up and smell the smoke. I wonder how they are going to solve the massive dead body problem. Cremation?
Judgenfuhrer Greer: "All dignity only comes from servicing me in my black-Mullah robe on your knees."
HEALTHFUL DRINKS AND WARM MEALS SINCE THE ORDER-TO-MURDER-AN-INVALID BY JUDGE GREER
Murderer-At-Will Judge Greer 36
......................... Terri Shiavo 0
.......................... Lee Malvo 29
.......................... Scott Peterson 27
If the disabled are starved they feel euphoria and according to Attorney Felos, the dying are soooooooo BEAUTIFUL. (/s)
I wonder if legally blind Judge Greer is going to volunteer for "euphoria therapy."
The democrat party has revealed their plan to fix social security. Terri is the first to "contribute" to the democrat party's final solution.
The deathacrats answer to fixing Social Security no doubt. (sarcasm)
Yep. I'm registered and this is the gist of the article. They cite specific cases in Florida.
{snip}
Two developmentally disabled adults who lived in group homes in Brandon, and two others under the care of The ARC in St. Lucie County, have died since October 2004, a month after the state required the operator of the two Brandon group homes to change the way residents received nursing care.

Officials at the Agency for Persons with Disabilities have reviewed the four deaths and found no evidence to suggest that statewide cost-cutting measures in any way contributed, said agency spokesman Scottie Howell.

In 2001, the state hired a private company, Maximus Inc., to look for ways to save money. Under a $5.2 million, three-year contract, renewed in January 2003, Maximus reviews care plans for disabled Floridians who choose to live outside more costly segregated institutions. The clients usually live with family members, in group homes, or even alone with help.
And that's what Terri's 'legal' death has come down to, it's nothing but a cover-up for all the deaths that have gone before. Greer's wife is/was on the Board of the Hospice.

Here are the beginning paragraphs of the story:
A federally funded watchdog group is investigating the recent deaths of four disabled Floridians amid an aggressive campaign by the state to cut millions of dollars from programs that provide medical care for disabled people in community settings.
Two developmentally disabled adults who lived in group homes in Brandon, and two others under the care of The ARC in St. Lucie County, have died since October 2004, a month after the state required the operator of the two Brandon group homes to change the way residents received nursing care.
A woman at one Brandon home developed such a severe infection at the site of her feeding tube that she has been hospitalized in intensive care since Feb. 13.
''We will be looking into these deaths,'' said Sylvia Smith, of the watchdog group, the Advocacy Center for Persons with Disabilities in Tallahassee.
``This is a top priority, and it should be a top priority for the state.''
Time to starve the Democrats.
How many such helpless people were burried without a trial.
These poor souls did not even get their 2hours before whitmore.
I believe families should have their elderly and incapacitated live with them or vice versa, if possible.
Dr. Laura Schlessinger is changing the landscape of American families by encouraging women to stay home and take care of their family, to go without some finiacial things they normally buy with their job. And families are happier and better.
I think it can happen with our parents as well. We've become a nation of throwing away our infirm. We need to repent, and change.
i think part of the lesson here is that if you have an elderly family member in a hospital. STAY WITH THEM AT ALL TIMES.
The modern liberals have treated children as disposable. The ABA and the feministas have pushed to have children as mere accessories of marriage.
It is little wonder that the lesson learned is to dispose of adults when they become inconvenient? I wonder if death by inconvenience is more common among modern liberals compared to conservatives.

Law Changed by Hospice Where Terri is Dying:
Felos was Board member and Chairman of Board. Filed for a motion in Greer's court to remove Terri's feeding tube in 1998.
Felos was on Board of Directors of Hospice until 2001.
Terri was moved to the Florida Suncoast Hospice in 2000.
See my comment #16. What do you think about this?
That is why they won't talk about their solutions. It involves Age and $ limits on health care under medicare.
