Death culters believe the ten commandments are the ten suggestions.

There’s a new document called a Loving Will and there’s also a Will to Live document. Living Wills were drafted by the death cultists so they’re the worst choice.

Living Wills are a tool of the death cultists unless you're not particularly fond of breathing.

1. Terri was murdered. 2. Terri is a martyr. 3. Instead of moping for the rest of their lives, Terri's blood relatives are continuing their mission.

Terri threads are not a place to make fun of the dead.

Why would you think that’s funny?

I thought Terri’s Dailies were off limits to trolls.

So?

Under YOUR method, the three thousand people who were killed on 9/11/01 are "dead" so we should just "move on." So, I assume that YOU DO NOT support the war on terror. The Founding Fathers are also "dead" so any notion of "original intent" is irrelevant, we should just "move on" and support judicial activism because the Constitution is a "living document."

Additionally, this is the April Terri Dailies thread and the SOLE PURPOSE of this thread is to promote life, dissent IS NOT welcome. There are plenty of other forums where you can express your hatred for Terri and your disdain for life, I'm sure you're familiar with them, Free Republic is a conservative PRO-LIFE forum.

Excellent response!

That was my understanding as well.

I'm somewhat confused, and hope that you can help me out. Are you all against advance health care directives? If so, do you mind saying why? It seems like your concerns over Terri Schiavo would indicate a strong advocation for formalizing one's end-of-life wishes.

Thanks!

It is quite simple really. Just read. It is plastered all over our Terri Daily threads. I mean, you really want an answer, don't you? Or is there something else in your question?

You are welcome.

Haleigh Poutre update...

I can only excerpt from Boston.com.

THE DEATHS of Dontel Jeffers, Rebecca Riley, and Liquarry Jefferson, and the horrifying injuries sustained by Haleigh Poutre reveal not just cracks but gaping holes in our state's child welfare system. We all must share a sense of urgency about the child abuse crisis in Massachusetts. Governor Patrick has taken an important first step with the appointment of Juvenile Court Judge Gail Garinger as the first child advocate...........

A sad Gey indeed, with not a very cheerful event coming up...

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

His students, many of whom are conservative Christians, are watching him die. They'd like to help him start the conversation. But he won't.

Gey doesn't pray for anything. An American Civil Liberties Union attorney and law professor at Florida State University, he ranks among the nation's top defenders of separation of church and state, of scientific inquiry, of rationalist, non-Christian governance.

~Snip~

Gey was a much-quoted constitutional law expert during the battle over continuance of life support for Terri Schiavo. But no one is an expert on how to die.

His disease offers only agonizing choices.........

ALS saps professor's strength, not his ideals

Mor on living wills...

This spate of living will talk clusters around April 16, Health Care Decisions Day, following April 15 tax day.

When the Terry Schiavo case became national news in 2005, discussions took place among families, friends, even co-workers, about how we would want to be treated in similar circumstances. Arguments flared about whether Schiavo's husband or her parents should determine her fate. Unable to communicate her own end-of-life choices, and without anything in writing, the legal case had dragged on for years..........

Decide how to spend your final days

Worthy of note...

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

Illinois Sen. Barack Obama may think that some voters "cling" to their guns and their religion out of bitterness and frustration, but the folks at the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee seem content to woo those candidates and appeal to those voters.

~Snip~

In the Alabama 5th district open seat being vacated by conservative Democratic Rep. Bud Cramer, the Democratic frontrunner appears to be state Sen. Parker Griffith. When I interviewed him earlier this week, he called himself "pro-life," "pro-gun" and "pro-traditional marriage."

Griffith's positions aren't surprising, of course, given Cramer's record. CQ's Politics in America 2008 described Cramer as "one of the most conservative Democrats in the House" and "among the Democrats supporting the conservative-led effort to intervene in the right-to-die legal case of Terri Schiavo."....

Hmmmm, wonder if Willie is a lib...

In 1973, the Supreme Court recognized the paramount need to protect women's health by allowing safe, legal abortions. For more than three decades, women's health remained a cornerstone of abortion rights. In the past year, we have seen just how essential that legal support was.

These are not abstract issues that affect only a handful of women. Every time politicians interfere in medical practice, they create a precedent for further meddling. Terri Schiavo's case shows that abortion is hardly the only medical issue politicians feel qualified to control. As a physician, I urge our legislators to make women's health and good medicine priorities here in Michigan. Let's learn from the poor decisions made one year ago, not repeat them in our state............

Politics Has No Place in Medicine
