Excellent thread, Backhoe!

How sad that Terri has not been saved by those worthless people who are in control of our courts and lives.

Terri is still alive and we all know what she said in the past-->

Where there is LIFE ** THERE IS HOPE~~!!!

Thank you for the thread. Hopefully people will find out everything possible, about this hedious, mis-carriage of Justice.

 Choose Life (Jewish Perspective on Schiavo)  ---Only a society that still believes in the human soul as something ineffable – a breath of the Divine within us – which cannot be expressed in terms of EEG's can produce a Yacov Tabak. By contrast, a society that defines life only in terms of the capacity to experience a certain set of pleasures is on the road towards elimination of those who lack a particular societally determined "quality of life." Indeed the judicially sanctioned killing by starvation of a sentient, responsive woman, who requires no more life support than an infant, is already well down the road.---

Democrats still unhinged over Schiavo case
by JohnHuang2


In a sign of how unhinged liberals have all become over Terri, I just finished reading the gazillionth story about how unhinged the GOP has become over Terri. And about the joys of starving to death, the hottest new craze sweeping the Nation magazine. (The incredible thrill of going malnourished never leaves you.) Millions of Zimbabweans live on the brink of starvation, so they've never had it so good.

Yet, fact is, it is illegal to starve a cow, which is precisely why it's illegal to stop feeding Michael Moore. Renowned medical professionals like Robert Wexler, who has diagnosed Terri from the studios of CNN, says her case isn't unique, that there are hundreds of thousands of cases like hers, where government decides to withhold food and water -- but enough about the Sudan.

Liberals, trying to win their noble life-and-death fight to keep Terri from being fed, offer a motley of asinine reasons the Asinine Party says justifies killing Terri (then getting her registered to vote). If I get the gist of their "argument," they say Terri's incapable of feeling pain, so they give her morphine to ease the tremendous euphoria of dehydrating to death which you couldn't do to ol' Barney no matter how 'slow' ol' Barney gets but Terri is not a Scottish terrier so there's no need to treat her humanely. Besides, she's been dead for 15 years, so you don't want to hurt her by doing things like keeping her alive through artificial means like food and water which prolong her suffering since she's unconscious and people in a 'Persistent Vegetative State' feel no pain or suffering, which means Terri's just a corpse, so Michael's marriage to her is alive and his efforts to end the corpse's life shows that he honors the sanctity of marriage. Michael says Terri has spent the last 15 years dead so it's time to let her die. And time for her parents to 'honor' their daughter's wish -- dying at the hands of her loving husband who found another honey after she became ill. It takes a 'right-wing' fanatic to think the philandering cad's priorities are not in Terri's best interest.

Such clear, coherent thinking is also amply displayed by Andrew Sullivan in his latest piece, cryptically titled, Terri is the dying martyr the Republican right can use. Regarding the killing of a disabled woman, Sullivan goes straight to the heart of the problem: People who go to church. And vote.

"Those of us who long worried that unleashing religious fundamentalism into the bloodstream of American politics would lead to disaster can feel only that our fears have now come true," writes Sullivan, his jaws shivering, his body trembling with horror. Our society prides itself as open and tolerant. So why do we let people like Jerry Falwell vote? Religious fundamentalists, using secret infrared rays, have taken control of the GOP, Congress, and the Presidency, Sullivan writes, gasping for breath. With their nifty wireless remotes, they got Congress and the President to intervene in a family matter -- in effect, giving "government" a "final say" in decisions which belong to private individuals, such as judge George Greer. It "strikes me as grossly inappropriate," notes Sullivan, adding: "You want proof that the religious right runs the Republican Party?"

But then, in paragraph #18 of Sullivan's piece, we learn that the Prez, rather than being under the control of pro-life 'fanatics' as he had been in the preceding 17 paragraphs, is really a pro-death fanatic who "signed countless death warrants as governor of Texas, with the most cursory of legal reviews." So, Bush is a pro-life fanatic and a pro-death fanatic meddling in a judge's decision to pull Terri's feeding tube -- a decision upheld by the U.S. Supremes, half of whom are on feeding tubes.

(Liberals insist there was no justification for intervention by Republicans in Congress, pointing to federal courts which reviewed the case to make sure judge Greer was right in ruling Terri's brain to be only three-fifths human.)

Greer determined that Terri would want to dehydrate based on the Clear and Convincing standard of hear-say table-talk. Terri's still alive after going without food and water for almost two weeks -- that's how badly she wanted to die.

Dr. Bernadine Healy, professor, cardiologist and former Director of the Institutes of Health, told Hardball Tuesday that "in terms of a quality of mercy in this case, I do not believe that it has occurred at the level of giving (Terri) a fair medical examination. I'm speaking about her as a patient; I'm not speaking about her as a law case; I'm not speaking about her at the Supreme Court. I'm talking about the fact that no one should die without a state-of-the-art medical evaluation. (Terri) did not have a doctor evaluating her since 2002. The most recent neurologist to see her said she thought she was not a vegetable."

Yet, "When I saw" Terri, with her sunken eyes, parched skin, seared lips, caked mouth and swollen tongue, "she looked beautiful," George Felos told reporters Saturday. "In all the years I've seen Mrs. Schiavo," she's never looked better than after a week of dehydrating. He said that what he saw, as her nose bled, bladder burned and brain cells dried out, was the "look of beauty". Since this little sick maggot is Michael's insane lawyer, I presume Michael also thinks now that his wife is in the process of being drained of body fluid in that wonderful slaughter house called a 'hospice', she's never looked hotter. (Felos is so fascinated with death, he calls visits to the cemetery, 'Happy Hour'. In the morning, happiness is coffee, eggs, sausage and the obits.) Killing the brain-damaged, the mentally impaired, the disabled, the 'undesirables', the unborn -- Hitler would be a Democrat today.

Anyway, that's...

My two cents

Many links have been removed since this superficial search for a connection in the 'players' was done in 2003.  Some were Open Society Institute/PDIA 'projects' that have been buried.  The items were left on the list to indicate how they related. The original link info used is still there just in case someone with more proficiency than I has an interest in pursuing.

The original Project on Death in America site was eliminated and PDIA was incorporated into OSI in December 2003, but today the original was accessible again and has a current date of March 31, 2005.

 Hating the "Religious Right" -- People of faith want a place a table of democracy. The Left has bullied them around and bulldozed over them for decades. And a lot of people are finally saying "enough." And they could care less what the polls think of them. They want public officials to pay attention to "moral values" issues. If last November didn't send our elites a message in that regards, then the next election will.
