Why is that? How do you discuss something without discussing it?

You can't prove that....

Nah, just kidding. Let's let it die!

I don't know that I have much to add, but I am as committed as ever to doing what I can to prevent there ever being another Terri Schiavo case. But really guys, if you're sick of the subject, why keep checking in here? Those who are still working out their conflicted feelings in their mind could still benefit from the exercise and this is as good a place to do it as any.

...And you still haven't answered my question. Would you be having this discussion if the Shindlers had agreed with Michael and it was a third party who was trying to intervene?

If she is aware of her own existence (and, no, everyone does not agree about that), then I would be against starving her unless she had specifically asked for that in writing. In that case, I don't care if a million people agree.

I do feel, generally, however, that there is something highly unplatable about her husband killing her over the screaming objections of her blood relatives.

She was denied nothing but a feeding tube .... her family could have brought her food or water any time


Her family was denied the right to put a cool damp cloth to her lips or moisten her mouth. People were arrested trying to smuggle water in to her. Nurses and aides who testified that Terri at one time was able to take small amounts of soft foods and liquids orally were ordered to stop giving these to her. Terri Schiavo was intentionally killed.
Why, if she could take food orally, would they perform a surgical procedure and insert a feeding tube? A damp cloth would save her .... and the drop of wine for comunion?
Do you have documentation?

I agree in that I don't think it should have been something to discuss to begin with. To me this was a private matter between Michael Schiavo and the Shindlers and never should have become a national cause.

With that, I'll be quite now.

Terri Schiavo was intentionally killed

Terri Schiavo died in an accident 15 years ago.

The thing lying on the bed isn't her, any more than your body without the mind is you.

I hear what you're saying, Fox and I agree with you. It's just that everyone here has already expressed their opinions over and over again and no one is getting anywhere. I would like to go on roof tops and scream to the world how wrong I think this was, but you can only scream so much before you lose your voice.
I keep coming back to this thread because it keeps pulling me here. It's probably because I feel as strongly about this as you do, but it's just at the point where everyone is repeating themselves over and over again and I can't see what good that could do.

By golly, I can eat solid foods and drink on my own while I am healthy and have my ability to think and act at will (have cognition). If I am ever in a brain-damaged state like Terri, nobody in their right mind better intrude to keep my alive. Especially not the Congress of this country.

After the tube that supplied a nutrient solution was disconnected on March 18, protesters streamed into Pinellas Park to keep vigil outside her hospice, with many arrested as they tried to bring her food and water.

Brandon, You missed my point; show proof that Terri was able to consume food and drink by mouth in her brain damaged state.
