I have tons more, but the heart is out of me.

Read the vast information in the "keyword databases" at the end to see how far we have fallen.

Find out the TRUTH about Terris Fight for life--I purchased this book last year, and found it to be one of the best references for facts in Terri Schiavo's case--If someone is in a position to gain something from another persons death, they should not be the guardian of that person.

Memo to ABC, NYTimes: Terri Schiavo was not “brain dead”

Did you read the autopsy report? I did.

Read more here.

I know it is not a fun world when you have to deal with facts. But get over it. The fact is, Terri Schiavo was executed by a method that would be prohibited for death row inmates as cruel and unusual punishment.

Texas, I'm just an old Cyber Cowboy ( and construction man, and business man, and gun dealer and wrecker driver, and a few other things you could glean if you hunted far enough... ) who followed Terri's case back when nobody cared:

While I have never encountered a more divisive issue ( people I formerly regarded as allies and friends did not merely disagree with me, they stalked me across the internet, and to this day, hate me for standing up for Terri... )

I still stand by what I said, as it was breaking:

"She was killed for being an inconvenient woman, and for money."


And yes, I will remember...

As my old cyber-pal from long-dead boards, ALOHA RONNIE, likes to say:

NEVER FORGET...

"In my time of trial, Jesus, plead for me..."

I Have No Mouth. And I Must Scream.

—Gabriel Malor

Just awful, nightmare fuel:

A man thought by doctors to be in a vegetative state for 23 years was actually conscious the whole time, it was revealed last night.

Student Rom Houben was misdiagnosed after a car crash left him totally paralysed.

He had no way of letting experts, family or friends know he could hear every word they said.

'I screamed, but there was nothing to hear,' said Mr Houben, now 46.

Doctors used a range of coma tests, recognised worldwide, before reluctantly concluding that his consciousness was 'extinct'.

But three years ago, new hi-tech scans showed his brain was still functioning almost completely normally.

They say he'll still be paralyzed for the rest of his life, but at least now he can communicate and read books while he lies there.

Oy.

Patient trapped in a 23-year 'coma' was conscious all along

Re-visiting the Terri Schiavo issue

Posted by Rick
Published: February 4, 2010 - 8:13 PM

This might just do it:

Using a newly developed brain scan technique, researchers in the U.K. and Belgium revealed that some patients in vegetative states or states of minimal consciousness show signs of awareness, and in one exceptional case, could even answer yes/no questions posed by doctors during a visualization exercise. The findings, published online this week in the New England Journal of Medicine, suggest that previous tests to assess patients' cognition may not fully tap into all potential aspects of awareness. The 29-year-old patient who, on brain scans exhibited responses to yes/no questions, had been in a vegetative state for five years. As one of the study's authors, Martin Monti of the Medical Research Council Cognitive and Brain Sciences Unit in Cambridge, England, summed it up to the Associated Press, "We were stunned when this happened... I find it literally amazing."

The study that yielded this neurological breakthrough included 54 patients at medical centers in Cambridge, England and Liege, Belgium, who were either in a vegetative state, or a state of minimal consciousness, as well as 16 control subjects in healthy mental condition. While undergoing functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) brain scans, patients were asked to perform what the researchers refer to as "imagery tasks": in the first one, they were asked to imagine themselves standing on a tennis court swinging a racket; in the second, they were to imagine themselves wandering along the streets of a familiar city, or through the rooms of their homes. Of the 54 patients, the brain scans revealed that five showed clear signs of awareness during the motor activity exercise (tennis), and four of those five showed signs of awareness during the spatial task (wandering through a city). Four out of five of these patients were in a vegetative state, and all five patients had suffered traumatic brain injury--as opposed to suffering oxygen starvation, (as had been the case with controversial vegetative patient Terri Schiavo).

Interesting how Terri Schiavo is mentioned but in a dismissive way... as if the study isn't countering what has largely been dismissed by the elite in the first place.

It's an eye-opening piece... that ought to give us all pause.

Ought to.
