Just for the record, here is a clip from Judge Greer's original opinion. He did not credit the testimony of Michael as he considered that Michael did have adverse interests. He concluded that Terri's statements to her mother and friend that they should have left Karen Ann Quinlan tupe in, were not reliable as to her current intent as they occured when she was 11 or 12. Then he conclued with the following, all of which were circumstances such as a coma and/or a ventilator that were different from the Quinlan case, to conclude what Terri would have wanted under Quinlan circumstances. Clearly the Judge was wrong in that what Terri would have wanted under the Quinlan circumstances was disputed and was not clear and convincing.

That is why they are doping her up. Starving to death apparently isn't all the fun its cracked up to be. Your body has to be really ****ed up before not having food or water is the least of your concerns.

Wow, totally credible sources!

The first one is interesting, as the woman was a vegetable for 70 whole days..wow, 70. I like this quote:

quote:
KLUGMAN: She was never in the vegetative state. That was just..


So the woman here was NOT in a state that had anything to do with being in a persistant vegitative state.

How..irrelevant to this case then. But I am glad everyone has an opinion.

That tired trope. Look in the other two threads for refutals to that claim.

I think thought there is a bit of a difference between 70 days and 15 years.

Well I am somewhat curious why there was never a PET scan (I know whay an MRI was never done), given that they provide a better picture than a CAT scan alone when diagnosing brain damage.

It is interesting that the Judge noted in his original opinion that Terry may have some of her cerebral cortex left. This week, the judge rebuffed evidence that Terri could talk, etc., by noting that she could not survive without the tube. The judge seems to be hard and fast on the position that Terri is PVS regardless of whether she is conscious and can communicate.

I don;t know to whom that is directed, but I will answer- I said in the first thread that it would be lovely to just inject her with something and get it done quickly.

That happens to be illegal in Florida and thus NOT an option. People go with what they got.

She is not in a coma, can talk, can laugh, can cry and is aware of her surroundings. She has some of her cerebral cortex left. Whether she can improve from THIS state to be what she once was is hopeless because most of her brain is gone. The judge made his final conclusion in the original case with these words:

"Those statements above noted contain no limitations or conditions. However, as Mrs. Tyler noted when she testified as to quality of life being a primary criteria and artificial life support matters, Americans want to "try it for a while" but they do not wish to live on it with no hope of improvement. That implicit condition has long since been satisfied in this case."

Thus the judge in this case condemned Terry to die because she had no hope for improvement even though her parents were satisfied with Terry in state she is in an even though Terri has apparently stated herself, last Friday, that she wanted to live.

Clearly, DinoDoc, it is wrong to state than that she has no cerebral cortex left and that any response she makes to stimuli is purely primitive and that she has no consciousness left. This has never been established.

Ned, this is the last time I will address you on this subject because you have obviously gone off your rockers. She does NOt speak, nor does she laugh, or do any of the things you claim. Who do you think you are foling at this point?

We have heard the families thinly vailed propaganda, and YOU seem to be the only one even of the people who support the parents to have swallowed it fully hook line and sinker. Its pretty sad.

The priest who gave Terri her last rights just said on the radio that he believes that Terri is at least 25% conscious. She is aware. She laughs. She cries. She communicates.

Yep... it is incredibly sad when people REALLY want to believe all the parent's propaganda with no factual basis. You know the 'Terry stated herself she wanted to live' was? The Aunt said on TV that she said "Do you want to live, Terry" and the body said "Ehhhhhh" really loud! I actually laughed my ass off. I don't know who is more deluded, the family or people like Ned that believe them.

Imran, no doubt the family could be reading something into Terri's responses. But the nurses have said the same thing about Terri. Now Terri's priest has chimed in.

Now, you say all this is Schindler propaganda. I have not cited the Schindlers in anything I have said. I have provided links and have cited people independent of the Schindlers and have repeatedly asked why these people should lie?

It is curious that Judge Greer said the Schindlers has an adverse interest because they would inherit from Terri if they were appointed guardian, completely ignoring that the whole object of the Schindlers is to keep Terri alive!!!!! The person who has a screw loose is the judge.

Help yourself to an AD-FREE life

Ned - first of all, considering the states involved, average appointees, etc. I doubt that 21 of the minimum 40 judges involved are qualified as "liberal" judges. Heck, I doubt you can find more than a dozen who the liberals would consider as one of theirs.

Secondly, I have watched the tragic attempts of family to make the best out of terrible cases of brain damage. Some friends had a child who at 6 and 1/2 (she died at that age due to an accident related to her neurological impairments, there were other associated problems) still could not babble.

Yet the parents, who insisted on mainstreaming her, were trying to find that she was attempting to say "mama" out of her rythmic grunts. It was so sad, and none of use even tried to tell them how wrong they were, they were just trying to see some kind of hope out of a terrible situation. The man was part of my wedding party, these were not just casual friends.

After 10 to 14 minutes of no pulse, her brain is largely dead. Find me one cite, except in the cases of immersion in cold water, where after that much time the individual has not been severely brain damaged. Thank God, literally, that she is finally going on to whatever awaits her.

Well he's totally right. Yeah, they are 'fighting to keep Terri alive', but what happens if they get guardianship? Will they fight as hard then? If Michael has an adverse interest, so do the Schindlers. They'd inherit if they got guardianship.

Nurse(s)? Aside from the one nurse, which other ones have said she is talking and carrying on conversations? Also, the priest isn't conflicted at all . He's the freaking Schinder's PRIEST, of course he's on the "she's alive, ALIVE" side. You think the Schindler's would have a priest that thought Terry was no more?
