Felos will no doubt be named "Ambulance Chaser of the Year" shortly.

LOL! No doubt!!!

That sounds like a logical response. If you are a parent, your natural impulse is to protect your child. Knowing that your son-in-law has already moved on, with another woman and children, isn't very reassuring. So of course, they will do everything they can. It was never proven this was her wishes. If in the end, as in this case, there was nothing they could do, so be it. At least it was proven who really cared.

For the love of GOD she was starved and dehydrated to death.
To bestow any honer to this is sub-human.

"Obviously it was wrong to murder Terri. If you really believed it was right, you wouldn't have to start your post with a proven lie to justify her murder."

The point I was making is: Randall Terry is a scumbag, and does much to discredit any cause, to which he associates himself.

[BykrBayb]

I understood your point. What I don't understand is how you justify your position. How does your hatred of a man promoting Christianity justify murdering disabled people? And if you really believe it's justified, why do you have to use lies in an attempt to convince others?

Here's what could have happened for Terri if the man with control over her life (oh, and her money), had not been an atrocious pro-death killer:

Rancho Los Amigos Scale / The Levels of Coma


I. No Response

Patient appears to be in a deep sleep and is unresponsive to stimuli.

II. Generalized Response

Patient reacts inconsistently and nonpurposefully to stimuli in a nonspecific manner. Reflexes are limited and often the same, regardless of stimuli presented.

III. Localized Response

Patient responses are specific but inconsistent, and are directly related to the type of stimulus presented, such as turning head toward a sound or focusing on a presented object. He may follow simple commands in an inconsistent and delayed manner.

IV. Confused-Agitated

Patient is in a heightened state of activity and severely confused, disoriented, and unaware of present events. His behavior is frequently bizarre and inappropriate to his immediate environment. He is unable to perform self-care. If not physically disabled, he may perform automatic motor activities such as sitting, reaching and walking as part of his agitated state, but not necessarily as a purposeful act.

V. Confused-Inappropriate, Non-Agitated

Patient appears alert and responds to simple commands. More complex commands, however, produce responses that are nonpurposeful and random. The patient may show some agitated behavior it is in response to external stimuli rather than internal confusion. The patient is highly distractible and generally has difficulty in learning new information. He can manage self-care activities with assistance. His memory is impaired and verbalization is often inappropriate.

VI. Confused-Appropriate

Patient shows goal-directed behavior, but relies on cueing for direction. He can relearn old skills such as activities of daily living, but memory problems interfere with new learning. He has a beginning awareness of self and others.

VII. Automatic-Appropriate

Patient goes through daily routine automatically, but is robot-like with appropriate behavior and minimal confusion. He has shallow recall of activities, and superficial awareness of, but lack of insight to, his condition. He requires at least minimal supervision because judgment, problem solving, and planning skills are impaired.

VIII. Purposeful-Appropriate

Patient is alert and oriented, and is able to recall and integrate past and recent events. He can learn new activities and continue in home and living skills, though deficits in stress tolerance, judgment, abstract reasoning, social, emotional, and intellectual capacities may persist.

Moral Absolutes Ping.

Well, now we know where the Florida State Guardianship Association stands in the scope of things. Anyone living in FL or with friends or relatives there, watch out.

Shows how little the adoration of men means.

Freepmail me if you want on/off this pinglist.
