We never knew the extent of Mrs. Schiavo's injuries. And therein lies the problem. The state put her to death on unverified testimony.

I wonder what the liberals are saying now.

Terri Schiavo could have done the same thing. But her husband didn't care. He had her murdered so he could marry his girlfriend (with whom he had 2 kids) and not feel guilty.

Praise God ! It probably helped a lot that he was in a nursing home, not in a hospice like Terri was. He probably got actual treatment instead of an expectation of death.

MS couldn't afford to have his wife live. He wanted her dead and successfully got the judicial system to comply with the murder his wife.

God bless his wife for staying faithful. May their testimony unravel many Lamestream media principalities in the Lord Jesus Christ's name, I pray.

parallel? I can think of one glaring difference.

We only think this sman is talking. Actually, it's just the reflexive firing of neurons that, to the untrained eye, make him seem conscious. For that matter, the reporter who wrote this story only seems conscious, and is actually just a sort of biological machine whose "consciousness" is nothing more than some sparks of electricity amidst an ocean of grey matter. That goes for most readers as well. Only the Party's Ministry of Consciousness can tell who has authentic personhood, and who is just a bio-bot. You'd be surprised how many people aren't actually people at all.

Dr. Rose Lynn Sherr of New York University Medical Center said when patients recover from brain injuries, they usually do so within two or three years.
"It's almost unheard of after 10 years," she said, "but sometimes things do happen and people suddenly improve and we don't understand why."

Sounds like a good idea to try to find out why such patients recover, instead of being shocked when it happens.

This written by a New York Daily News' reporter.

###"At one point, his doctors told me he wasn't coming back - period," said Burton, who represented Herbert's wife in a lawsuit against the owner of the building whose roof collapsed on the firefighter.

But Herbert's mother, Geraldine, never gave up hope. Every day since her son's injury, the elderly woman kept a vigil at his side, reading to him and praying. She was joined daily by her husband until his death a few years ago.

"She was his support; she was his life," said Pat Dempsey, 63, a neighbor who has known Herbert since he was a boy. "She had the hope that this would happen to him someday and it happened."###

Parents vigil same as Terri's parents. There will be a price to pay as secular society plays god

Here is additional writing by another N Y Daily News reporter quoting an MD. The last sentence certainly makes one think. Of course with the culture of death, such thinking does not exist.

###"That's why Herbert's case is "remarkable," Gropen said. "There's a lot that we still don't know about recovery from brain injury."

There have been other remarkable cases. In 2003, Terry Wallis of Arkansas regained consciousness after 19 years, but his brain function remained limited.

"It does raise questions of how much more cognitive function is actually present in some people who appear to be unresponsive," Gropen said."###

Too bad the same won't happen for Terri Schiavo since they just HAD to murder her. Courtesy of Greer,Felos,&Pigboy.

(Schiavo Parallel?)

Just from reading this article I'd say there is no parallel whatsoever.

THe only simalarity I can see is that they both suffered from brain damage.

Great story.

Where there is life there is hope.

[Dustbunny]

From all I have read, Terri Schiavo's husband never gave her the chance to recover.

Her husband wanted to get on with living so he had to make sure that Terri would no longer stand in the way.
