Free Internet Press goes into detail on the sleeping pill awakenings, items Mikey and cronies had not used. What would Mikey have done had he known? What excuses will the next death dealers have for future victims like Terri?

Intellpuke: We have always been told there is no recovery from persistent vegetative state - doctors can only make a sufferer's last days as painless as possible. But is that really the truth? Across three continents, severely brain-damaged patients are awake and talking after taking ... a sleeping pill. And no one is more baffled than the GP who made the breakthrough. Guardian correpondent Steve Boggan witnesses these 'strange and wonderful' rebirths, while correspondent Helen Pidd explains what we know of vegetative states. Their article follows:

For three years, Riaan Bolton has lain motionless, his eyes open but unseeing. After a devastating car crash doctors said he would never again see or speak or hear. Now his mother, Johanna, dissolves a pill in a little water on a teaspoon and forces it gently into his mouth. Within half an hour, as if a switch has been flicked in his brain, Riaan looks around his home in the South African town of Kimberley and says, "Hello." Shortly after his accident, Johanna had turned down the option of letting him die.

Three hundred miles away, Louis Viljoen, a young man who had once been cruelly described by a doctor as "a cabbage", greets me with a mischievous smile and a streetwise four-move handshake. Until he took the pill, he too was supposed to be in what doctors call a persistent vegetative state.

Across the Atlantic in the United States, George Melendez, who is also brain-damaged, has lain twitching and moaning as if in agony for years, causing his parents unbearable grief. He, too, is given this little tablet and again, it's as if a light comes on. His father asks him if he is, indeed, in pain. "No," George smiles, and his family burst into tears.

Terri's Legacy List

(Original Ohioan from Florida's ping list, update to September 7.)

Terri on the road to recovery before the second stage began.

Ping to another bone chiller thread from wagglebee on Singer...

PRINCETON, September 12, 2006 (LifeSiteNews.com) - In a question and answer article published in the UK's Independent today, controversial Princeton University Professor Peter Singer repeats his notorious stand on the killing of disabled newborns. Asked, "Would you kill a disabled baby?", Singer responded, "Yes, if that was in the best interests of the baby and of the family as a whole."

People who oppose Singer's position have maintained that Singer is the logical extension of the culture of death and that society will eventually embrace his stance if there is no shift to the culture of life. Alex Scadenberg, Executive Director of the Euthanasia Prevention Coalition commented to LifeSiteNews.com about Singer saying, "at least he's consistent." In fact, Singer himself uses the abortion debate to justify his murderous stance.

CHARLIE CRIST FOR LT.GOVERNOR choice Jeffrey Kottkamp was in the gang of 10 who wrote Tom Gallagher a "get out" letter. He's also from the wealthy community of Cape Coral. JEFFREY KOTTKAMP was rewarded by Crist for trying to kick Gallagher out of the race, you see? Crist couldn't choose Mike Fasano because he's a girly man himself.

GANG OF TEN GET OUT GALAGHER LETTER "The letters, identical in language (click here to read), were orchestrated by Sen. Mike Fasano, R-New Port Richey, and Rep. Jeff Kottkamp, R-Cape Coral, who delivered them personally to Gallagher's Tallahassee campaign headquarters. The duo, who'd originally scheduled a press conference two blocks away at the Florida Press Center to unveil the letters, decided in the end not to do so."

FV SAYS: Crist's been to the hair salon. His hair is now imo, radioactive and you must wear shades to look at the new cc. if his hair was any whiter, he could snow blind people (maybe that's his new strategy).
