You and I won’t argue the point that Terri Schiavo was in no danger of dying until the government stepped in.
I absolutely agree with that. I think Jeb Bush and the State of Floridas interference in a family matter was inexcusable and IMO is the single biggest issue why I cannot vote for him.
Yes, Terri’s husband was a real piece of work. She deserved far better than his plans for her, and God Bless her family for all they did to save her from an excruciating death.
My commentary was deliberately limited to the science (and lack of still) around our own understanding of the human brain, how it works, and how it can seemingly heal itself.
I posted earlier in this thread about a young girl from the church my family belongs wh suffered a horrendous accident and had been pronounced brain dead by a hospital, only to wake up thirty days later. I hope you read that post. The thing is, we have no idea why some people seem to recover from really horrible brain injuries, and others don’t. So much we don’t know yet. I wish science would hurry up.
Because I have not been able to see it, going back through all your posts on this one thread.
“I think Jeb Bush and the State of Floridas interference in a family matter was inexcusable and IMO is the single biggest issue why I cannot vote for him.”
That's a very ignorant summation of the entire case.
The “family matter” was the husband wanted the courts to order his disabled (and no longer wealthy wife,since he had wasted the money that was supposed to be used to pay for her care) be executed by intentional starvation and dehydration.
Her parents wanted to care for her, at no expense to him.
He had two children with his girlfriend, while Terri was in nursing homes, but for some reason pretended he was her faithful,loving husband.
He prevailed in the courts and public political arena, mostly due to people such as yourself.
So very wrapped up in your own private personal angst, and absent the ability to apply any common sense or logic towards another.
You've been here for a long while.
Were you one of the many FReepers who actively advocated for Terri Schiavo’s execution?
