"What are you thinking?"
I guess we're thinking that judges are out of control.
You seem to think that everything is hunky-dory.
"Do we Ignore the sanctity of Marriage because we heard that the Husband might have conflicts of interest?"
Ummm...HE ignored the sanctity of his own marriage. So, YES, the courts need to make some changes when there's a "conflict of interest" with the guardian or a conflict of interest with the Judge and Drs, for that matter.
There's no comparison to the baby Star case and this.
And I'd like you to prove that Terri's situation "happens every DAY in this country". I think that's a line of bs.
Money? Are you trying to argue that Terri's parents didn't have enough to continue caring for her? So, if they could prove that they had enough money, would that change your mind?
And just where does the starvation/dehyration angle of this fit into your "reasoning"?
""in his omniscience, Pinellas Circuit Judge George Greer has ruled that Terri was a non-person kept alive with a feeding tube, and that, if she could communicate, she’d say: “Oh, please kill me. How I long for the excruciating experience of being starved to death over two weeks.” "
Ping.
I don't think everything is hunky-dory in the Schiavo case at all, but I think we don't serve anyone by going overboard (not to say AT ALL that I don't care about this tragedy)
If Michael Schiavo ignored the sanctity of his marriage, then there has to be a law that addresses that issue for a judge to rule that way. I'm not saying there isn't such a law now, but I haven't heard about it. I mean look. there are people in jail for LIFE under the 3 strikes you're out laws for stealing a few drugstore items and such (not saying it's right). The law says X and judges attempt to rule within those laws.
As for you calling the children of Schiavo "bastards", I think that's out of line completely. They did nothing wrong and are probably suffering right now because of all this.
What I'm really interested in is why you think there is no comparison in the baby "Sun" case. Sure there are differences, but isn't the crucial issue the same? A little baby is taken off life support over the objections of her MOTHER and all other family members. Forget the soap-opera qualities of the Schiavo case, What reason do you see that makes the death of baby "Sun" different?
Just wondering.
