Ashes of Terri Schiavo buried
Yahoo ^

Posted on 06/20/2005 3:27:22 PM PDT by Sub-Driver

Ashes of Terri Schiavo buried 12 minutes ago

The remains of Terri Schiavo, a brain-damaged Florida woman whose fate sparked a highly politicized right-to-die battle, were buried on Monday in Florida, her husband's lawyer said.

The interment of Schiavo's ashes took place nearly three months after she died and five days after pathologists released results of an autopsy that showed her to have had massive brain damage and no hope of recovery. Her condition resulted from a collapse in 1990 that deprived her brain of oxygen.

The burial at Sylvan Abbey Memorial Park in Clearwater, Florida, was held in the presence of her husband, Michael Schiavo, some of his brothers and a priest, attorney George Felos said in a brief statement.

The autopsy results supported court findings during a long legal battle between Schiavo's parents and her husband that she was in a persistent vegetative state, meaning she could not think or feel, pathologists who conducted the autopsy said last week.

The courts consistently supported Michael Schiavo's stance that his wife would not have wanted to live in this state and should be allowed to die.

Her parents, Bob and Mary Schindler, believed she had some hope for recovery and fought for seven years to keep her alive in a campaign that attracted support from right-to-life activists, Christian evangelicals and the Vatican.

What, do they think having a priest present makes it all okay?

Might as well have "swept her ashes under the rug," considering all the tough-talk about the "renegade judges" duing the two weeks she was starved and dehydrated to death that went for naught -- tough-talk that was nothing more than typical political hot air.

"What, do they think having a priest present makes it all okay?"

They needed someone to perform the excorsism if the evil one manifested himself in Felos or MS.

Stupid priest ... Satan doesn't bother his own.

Terri was watching a fire burning one evening and said "ashes to ashes dust to dust" so that's why she's being cremated.

If Terri's ashes aren't sealed to protect against the absorption of water then Judge Greer might have the cops arrest some people.

I guess the autopsy is the reason why Michael Schiavo waited until now to burry Terri. Either that or he finally burried her to make himself look like a good guy since now he looks even worse since the autopsy report came out. Little damage control i guess! Doesn't fly with me!

"what about your Big Brother W waiting UNTIL 911 to acknowledge the multiple and unmistakable warnings of an impending attack by al Qaeda upon, an inside the homeland of the USA."



Mr. Ben Veniste, is that you?

If the President of the United States made public every foreign threat upon our homeland, the news would be filled with little else. While I agree with you that those threats should have been taken more seriously, and indeed they have been taken more seriously since that horrible day, the only way that the attacks could have been prevented with 100% accuracy would be to ground every single airplane in the United States while the threat is outstanding.

And I fail to see why you choose to bring this up as a way to insult Governor Jeb Bush, who has merely raised questions about the suspicious nature of Terri Schiavo's collapse 15 years ago.

Yeah! We can all go out and celebrate! Terri's finally been put away for good, just like all disabled people who don't deserve to live! (They're such a drain on the limited fiscal resources of our society, and their continued existence pricks at the last shread of conscience in our culture of death, so away with them all!)

I see Schaivo is a "no-touch, no-disagree" topic.

Despite the fact that it makes us (the Right) look like a bunch of law-breaking moonbats (IMHO).

I might have been a little sarcastic, but the idea that the autopsy doctor lied as part of some vast conspiracy is lunacy (again IMHO). It is our version of the DSM.

This isn't about "free speech." It is about protecting Conservative ideals -- some of which are respect for the Rule of Law and less Government interference.

This is Jim's house. If he, through the mods says, "no challenging pro-Schaivo posts," that is good enough for me, I guess.

Because it means the media et al will finally let this woman rest instead of using her to further their own agendas. I don't believe 1/100 of the people who claimed to care about her wellbeing actually did so.

"allowed to die..." ?????she wasn't allowed to die: she was killed by lack of food and water. my only comfort: Michael Schiavo will stand before his Maker one day who will dispense justice to him and all of his accomplices.

I thought Terri's remains were to be buried in PA in some "family plot"? Did Michael suddenly grow a heart? I'm glad to know Terri's remains are in Florida, so hopefully her family will have some way of paying their respects.

I've often thought about this. I mean protest is the cornerstone of democracy but people who do so, whether they be from the right or left always come across as being so whiny. If there is a more masculine way to protest I guess people just don't do it.

Out of curiosity, has a comprehensive list of conspirators in this grand conspiracy been compiled yet? While I can well imagine that the list must include hundreds, if not thousands of names, I'm curious to see who might show up on it.

Helpful Hint: Actually think before you post and count to ten and read it again before Post.

Answer please: The 99 of 100 who claimed to "claim about her wellbeing"...whose sincerity you doubt, what was their actual reason for the pretense?

To be honest this is the very first terry Schivo thread I have ever posted to, believe it or not. It must be a good thing tho because a troll was outted and I got in befor the ZOT ! ! ! !

The zotee was totally off the mark bringing 9-11 and psuedo conservative failures into the subject. It was a justifiable zotting.

...........................................

I have gotten that feeling also and had a slight quiver just after I posted my sarcastic remark in #4, not knowing the wrath I might have to endure by breeching protocol, but I am really quite sick of this subject. It immediatly prompted so many knee jerk reactions and made people jump to such outrageous conclusions and bassackwards assumptions that I avoided every single one except to lurk in amazement at what was happening.

I will just crawl back under my rock now.

May she rest in peace... And, may the most vitriolic comments among the FR posters lessen (on both sides)... I realize I'm just a "newbie" (I've lurked here and on CP, LP and FU for several months), but I hope I can still voice my opinion...

I think most of the posters are good and decent people - they just have a difference of opinion (similar to between Republicans and Democrats or rival school football teams)...

And, most of all, I really wish that the personal attacks (calling posters "Death Cultists" and "Terribots", making fun of one's appearance, infantile drawings, etc.) would cease and desist because they only make the poster look ugly and hateful...

Well, there's my opinion - FWIW... :o)

Whoa, you disagree with me so you decide to mock me. Whatever happened to respectful debate.

Answer please: The 99 of 100 who claimed to "claim about her wellbeing"...whose sincerity you doubt, what was their actual reason for the pretense?

First of all the fact that as soon as the poor woman passed she was replaced on the America Consciousness by Celebrity Trial/Breakup/Pregnancy du jour. Or the fact that the activists never took it upon themselves to affect some real change instead of using kids with cups in some sort of halfhearted publicity stunt.
