Of course he's a retread. Is Jim around this afternoon?

[DJ MacWoW]

He was earlier. Don’t know about now.

Did Terri sign a Living Will?

[St_Thomas_Aquinas]

‘The stark reality hit me that I was going to spend the rest of my life like that – totally alone.'”

It's hard for me to imagine anything more horrific. Thank God he survived with his mind intact.

"It was posted on this thread and you ignored the info."

Yes I did. It was the author's opinion. No doctor diagnosed PVS.

His doctors did tell his parents to bring him home and let him die because "he was as good as a vegetable". That don't count.

Not only did she sign a living will, even if she had there was no provision in 1990 that would have allowed for the denial of food and water as life support.

Terri's adulterous "husband" only "remembered" her saying that she wanted to be murdered AFTER she had been awarded a large sum of money (money that he ultimately spent murdering her).

Mikey Schiavo initially said that Terri's condition was improving:

"you know what the WPPFF is?!"

Google is your friend.

"I would normally try to guess, but too many names come to mind."

You do wander, don't you? Just can't stay on topic.

"Is Jim around this afternoon?"

BWAHAHAHAHA!

Oh Jim! Please help! I'm in over my head and only you can save me! Ohhhhh.

"Did Terri sign a Living Will?"

Nope. Does she have to in Florida?

[Dante3]

IIRC, Terri never signed a living will. There was only her estranged husband’s claim - and he lacks credibility and had vested interests, including a live in mistress.

[DJ MacWoW]

It's not the authors opinion. It was the diagnosis.

Keep trying.

[wagglebee]

It all depends on whether or not you believe in Living Wills.

My belief or lack thereof in living wills has NOTHING to do with ANYTHING because Terri didn't have one. NOBODY ever suggested that she did. Besides, living wills are for people who are dying, Terri's autopsy proved that she would have lived another forty years.

If you don't believe that an individual has the right to specify what actions should be taken for their health if they are no longer able to make decisions for themselves, then dehydrating and starving Terri was the wrong and illegal thing to do.

Terri NEVER specified that she wanted to be murdered.

Terri's estranged "husband" decided to murder her. Terri screamed in horror when she was told that the feeding tube was being removed, multiple FReeper WHO WERE THERE have told me that.

Do you believe in Living Wills?

Belief in living wills has as little to do with Terri's case as belief in Santa Claus or the Easter Bunny.

Do you believe in Living Wills?

[DJ MacWoW]

So you can ask questions but you don’t have to answer them? Did that work in your last FR incarnation?

[offwhite]

"NOBODY ever suggested that she did."

The court ruled she did.

Oh well. I'm done. You've turned this into another Terri thread, just like you wanted to. And I'm not interested in rehashing it.

[offwhite]

"So you can ask questions but you don’t have to answer them?"

What didn't I answer?

[DJ MacWoW]

Was dehydrating and starving Terri the right and/or legal thing to do? YES or NO

[offwhite]

"It's not the authors opinion. It was the diagnosis."

Ah. So you found it. Very good. Please give me a link to where the doctor made a PVS diagnosis.

[wagglebee]

Do you believe in Living Wills?

As I said, it doesn't matter for the following reasons:

1. Terri NEVER HAD ONE, nor was there ever any evidence that she ever did.

2. Even if she did have one, Florida law in 1990 didn't provide for the termination of nutrition and hydration.

3. Terri wasn't dying, Florida law in 1990 didn't provide for killing the disabled.

4. The idea that Terri wanted to be killed WASN'T MENTIONED in the malpractice trial. It was only AFTER the money was awarded that Mikey "recalled" her talking about wanting him to murder her.

Post #60, for those paying attention.
