I support the decision to remove Terri's feeding tube because: (Time out:0 days after 31-03-2005, 12:10)
1. Terri is in a permanent vegetative state and has no hope to recover.
2. Terri clearly expressed expressed her wish not to continue living in a permanent vegetative state and we should respect her wish.
3. The supporters of Terri are primarily right wing fundies who are seeking to make a political issue this that would extend to issues other than a right to die, issues such as abortion.
4. The parents of Terri are right wing fundamentalists and should not be supported.
5. Republican politicians like Jeb Bush and President Bush support Terri.
6. Michael Schiavo has a right to get on with his life, he has a new wife and two children.
7. Michael Schiavo, as her husband and legal guardian, has a right to decide this issue.
8. The matter was decided by the courts via due process and we should respect their decision.

Actually, none of the facts were in dispute. New "facts" were invented to obscure the truth. You fell for them hook, line, and sinker.

No one has ever recovered from not having a brain.

No one has ever recovered from being ashes, which is what she is now.

She did clearly express it, to at least three different people. That's why every single court found for Schiavo and not one ever found for the Schindler's. She just didn't have it in writing. The only time she exressed a different opinion was when she was twelve years old, as is indicated in the court record.

I'm sorry you have such a problem with the facts in this case.
Yes to her husband, his sister and husband. But NEVER TO HER MOTHER, FATHER, BROTHER, AND SISTER. Is't this somewhat troubling?

only to conspiracy theorists.

most people don't talk about it. The only reason she probably expressed her wishes at that time was they were probably watching some movie or something on tv dealing with this issue (when the brother and his wife was over) and discussed it then.

I've told my wife, but not my mother or father. She's the one who counts.

Put an end to popups!

The problem with your analysis, Che, is that you have to tell me why so many people who seem to have no stake in the outcome would flatly contradict Schiavo. The brother and sister-in-law testified without being on any witness less and with no opportunity to investigate and depose them. (That by itself was a travesty.) Her best friend from college testified that Terri wanted to live under Quinlan circumstances. The judge simply "moved" the testimony to when she was 12. While he stated his reasons for doing so, what he did, in combination with allowing the brother and sister-in-law to testify without allowing te defense a fair opportunity to investigate, decided the case. Taken as a whole, the judge's actions were highly prejudicial to Terri, for certain. He should have been reversed. Most people who actual looked at this case, including most of Congress, felt that Terri was denied due process.
