Terry Schiavo
If you became mentally handicapped or maybe even not, but were dependant on life support, would u want to die naturally, or would u want to be sustained unnaturally by life-support and resusitation??
Its amazing how long and drawn out this case is becoming. she never made any statement of not wanting to be sustained by life support, so i think she should be kept alive. from what ive heard, i dont believe she is in a vegetative state but one of "minimal consciousness". this new definition of consciousness has just recently been made as over 40% of diagnosis's of a state of vegetation are wrongly made.
the husband has another woman, another family, has spent much of the money he won from a malpractice lawsuit on questionable things, i really dont think he should speak anymore for his wife. just let her live, and let this all die down. maybe if she had been getting some rehabilitation from the money being spent on attorneys by her husband, she'd have some aspect of functionability such as being able to swallow.

| Terry Schiavo Parents Seek More Tests 1 hour, 12 minutes ago U.S. National - AP By MITCH STACY, Associated Press Writer CLEARWATER, Fla. - An attorney for the parents of a brain-damaged woman at the center of a right-to-die case asked a judge Tuesday to allow new medical tests to determine if she has more mental activity than previously thought. AP Photo Slideshow: Terri Schiavo Right-to-Die Case Judge Orders Schiavo's Tubes Can Be Removed (AP Video) Attorney David Gibbs III told Judge George Greer that 41-year-old Terri Schiavo deserves to be re-evaluated with technology that has advanced since the last time she was tested in 2002. "We do believe Terri should get this benefit," Gibbs said. "She deserves to have the tests run." The hearing was the latest in a flurry of litigation before the court-ordered March 18 removal of a feeding tube that helps keep Terri Schiavo alive. Bob and Mary Schindler have fought their daughter's husband, Michael Schiavo, for nearly seven years to try to keep her alive. Michael Schiavo contends she would not want to be kept alive artificially, and has court permission to stop the feedings so she can die. Gibbs also asked Greer to reconsider testimony from a friend of Terri Schiavo about what her end-of-life wishes might have been. The judge said he would rule as early as Wednesday. In Washington, Rep. Dave Weldon (news, bio, voting record) and Sen. Mel Martinez, both Republicans from Florida, introduced legislation Tuesday that would require that incapacitated people be represented by their own attorneys. Schiavo's husband is her legal guardian. "When a court is making a life or death decision for a disabled person who has been charged with no crime, shouldn't they be afforded independent counsel to speak on their behalf?" Weldon asked. If the bill becomes law by March 18, the Schindlers could use it to sue in federal court to challenge the removal of the feeding tube, attorneys said. Also Wednesday, Greer will hear arguments from lawyers for the state Department of Children & Families, which is trying to intervene in the case to investigate what it says are new complaints of abuse and neglect by her husband. Terri Schiavo suffered severe brain damage when her heart stopped beating for several minutes in 1990. Doctors said a suspected eating disorder might have caused a chemical imbalance. She depends on a tube in her abdomen for food and water. |
I'd pick death over being a vegetable.
Are they talking about this in your High School Social Studies Class???
Here is an analogy for you and your SAT.
Bling : Damon :: You :?
A. Your Mom
B. Me
C. Everyone on TA
D. B and C are Correct
- The answer is D. You annoy people.
This is why everyone needs a living will... you can purchase them online for your particular state...these are different than a last will and testament, which is applied to the bequeathment of personal property upon your death.....
A living will is a legally binding document that expresses your wishes for all possible instances where you would be incapacitated and unable to make sound decisions about sustaining your life using artificial means...
You do NOT need a lawyer to draft this document... there are internet websites that take you through questions and then apply your particular state's legal requirements to the actual document....
You sign it in the presence of two witnesses and then give a copy to your doctor and copies to people who would be contacted to make decisions regarding the continuation of your life...i.e. parents, brothers, sisters, grandparents, spouses....

and for that, i will punish myself of the yeast infection im supposed to treat and endure a song by lil jon 
You know, I don't want the state dictating whether I live or die. Pull the tubes and let her go.
Not to get political (and I HATE politics) it would be in her best interest to pull the plug. No one should have to live this way.

Good point, Peterdjsgirl but where do you draw the line? If she continues to recieve enteral nutrition (via a tube) she remains in a vegetative state and there's no change. The State is happy. But, if you remove the tubes and provide palliative care only, she'll probably die within a few days. I agree, a living will is what it's all about. I never want to be in her shoes.
