I guess I'll keep my organs to myself. Especially now that we know there are people dying to kill me as early as they can anyway. Shame, because if I knew they were going to try everthing to make me live FIRST, then I wouldn't care. But with Dr. Death running around, forget about it.

Char, this is the only thing you have ever posted that made me just say "Eeeeeewwww," "Yuck."
Oh, BTW has everyone heard the Zogby Report on the Schiavo tragedy?
79% of those surveyed DISAGREED with the removal of Terri's feeding tube. I can't remember how the remaining percentages were split - but it was between: "Agree" and "Not sure," (I think)
That slaps those TV twits who call themselves commentators, and those liberal talking heads, and the Dumocrats who said WE were in the minority. They got it wrong, wrong, wrong again. They just should have looked at the Bush 2004 map and figured the answers from there. Seeeesch! 79% WOW!

I think this why prisoners are in the sights of the culture of death.

A suggestion: a wrongful-death lawsuit against Michael Schiavo and maybe Judge Greer, alleging denial of due process.
Maybe Mr. Schiavo can be prevented from profiting from killing his wife.

I have thought donating organs to be a good thing. It is my understanding the catholic church allows it. If what is written here is true, they should not be allowing it.
It sounds like another form of legalized murder. I'll have to do some more reading on it before I would advise people not to do it.
Success stories of organ transplants have always seemed bitter sweet to me. Sweet because a person and especially when it is a child gets a chance at a more or less normal life, bitter because another human had to die for them to have that chance.

It is my understanding that Terri's parents are permitted 30 days, under the federal law passed for them, to file such suits in federal court. Given the track record of their legal team, we'll see if anyone realizes that.
If they file at the state level, the case will probably be heard by Greer.

Just as some stories tilt too much one way, this one tilts too much the other way.
One of the doctors who examined Terri's videotapes, was a woman doctor neurologist, whose specialty was exactly to determine who are the patients neurologically so far gone, so that their organs could be harvested. She determined that she would never consider Terri as an organ donor, because she was not in that kind of shape.
This said to me, that doctors do make a neurological assessment and they are fair -- considering her specialty, she could have come down on the side of those who just couldn't wait to kill Terri, but she didn't.
This tells me that doctors making those kinds of life and death decisions, are indeed taking their diagnosis seriously and are fair.
I hope people don't change their minds about being organ donors on account of this story.

Aliska, read my post 14, please,for a little more info.

This story is actually the theme of Robin Cook's runaway best selling novel from 30 years ago. Do you remember it? COMA! It was also made into a movie. It was set in a hospital which was run by a true "Dr. Death," with "patients" rendered "comatose" by injection, and then warehoused in some secret rooms of the hospital, for "harvesting" when megabucks, paying "patients" ordered up whichever organs they wanted.

EEG's measure cortical function, not brain stem function. The cortex controls purposeful movement and thought. The brain stem controls basic life support, i.e. lungs, heart, etc. Brain dead is a flat EEG (no cortical function).I think this is medically legit and these guys are wrong about this.
What I can't figure out is how closing your eyes for prayer, laughing at jokes and being glad to see your mother medically proves you have a flat EEG?

Several years ago there was a movie called "Coma" - everybody should rent that movie. It too will scare the hell out of you - it's about organ donors.

Here's an interesting post from another article which I posted on News/Activism, but someone moved it to Bloggers & Personal, which I don't understand, because Kerry Marsala is an established, well-known author and not a blogger.
I think that her article will interest you, plus this reply from the poster.

Section 2 of the constitution of the state of Florida states :
All natural persons, female and male alike, are equal before the law and have inalienable rights, among which are the right to enjoy and defend life and liberty ... No person shall be deprived of any right because of ... physical disability.
Jeb Bush had all the authority he needed to remove Terri from those who would kill her and save her life. Indeed, his oath of office requires it:
I, do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support, protect and defend the Constitution and government of the United States and of the state of Florida ...
