These are the hard facts my family and I will have to live with for the rest of my life: After almost two weeks without food or water, my sister’s lips were horribly cracked, to the point where they were blistering. Her skin became jaundice with areas that turned different shades of blue. Her skin became markedly dehydrated from the lack of water.
Terri’s breathing became rapid and uncontrollable, as if she was outside sprinting. Her moaning, at times, was raucous, which indicated to us the insufferable pain she was experiencing. Terri’s face became skeletal, with blood pooling in her deeply sunken eyes and her teeth protruding forward. Even as I write this, I can never properly describe the nightmare of having to watch my sister have to die this way.
What will be forever seared in my memory is the look of utter horror on my sister’s face when my family visited her just after she died.
Why would you post this...On this thread?
Seriously, you are entitled to your warped opinion, but have the decency to allow Pro-Life people to have their thread untainted by such inappropriate trash.
I read the book by the family lawyer. She did more than that. She could have done more had that no good husband of hers kept her in therapy longer and not put her in a hospice. He just had to get a girlfriend and knock her up. A disabled wife was too much trouble so starve her to death and move on.
This isn’t about what you want, and I don’t think you actually know anything about the state of her brain.
But let’s grant your point. If she was a brain dead, a husk basically, then why not just give her the same shot we give dogs and cats and end it in less than 20 seconds?
Why did we dehydrate this woman to death?
What would you do if someone dehydrated your mom to death, and there wasn’t f*** all you could do about it?
She was not ‘brain dead’ but had limited brain functions. In any event she did not deserve to be starved and dehydrated to a horrible death. Giving her a bullet to the head would have been more merciful.
Jeb Bush let her die.
Never forget that.

She was way more human than people who have become so morally-calloused that they can no longer discern the difference between a human being and a tomato.

Yea Jim, stuck_in_new_orleans is “ entitled to your warped opinion”....some place else that is pro choice. Don’t you agree?
Ordering the death of Terri Schiavo will forever be a black mark on the souls of her “husband” and the “judges” who made this happen. There should be a special place in Hell for all of them. Regardless of what the alleged limits were on his power to intervene, I also always blamed Jeb Bush and decided never to support him for any future public office. I hope Terri is in a better place and will someday be reunited with her parents.
You’re on my list.

What was that you said, Jim, about Free Republic being pro-life?
That is why we did not vote for JEEEB! This time around.
She will never be forgotten. Every time I hear of cases where the doctors are quick to pull the plug and the family fights, I think about her.
So did I. I was furious and sickened when her own mother was denied to ne by her side when she died.
Onyx click on the link. I’m not kidding. Just when I think I’ve seen everything. The Gosnell trial. The Planned Parenthood Tapes. (those give me nightmares) pictures of aborted babies. I think I’ve seen it all and nothing can get to me. Then something does. Click on the link.
It’s a picture of Terri just before she died. Dear God that is horrible.
“She was a vegetable”
Well it takes one to know one. :-)
Its gonna suck to be them on Judgement Day-- oh its gonna suck. Take comfort though that Terri inherited her place in joyful heaven forever where no wicked is allowed.
