A Prayer For Terry Schiavo

[outfished]

If I were in her shoe's I'd hope that my friends would take me on my last boat trip and dump my sorry arse overboad Me and the miss's are getting our living wills done soon if not sooner.

She won't die of starvation. She'll die of dehydration i.e. thirst. Painless, I'm sure. I believe electrolyte imbalance results from lack of water, rather than lack of food.

dehydration causes the tongue to swell a ton, and lots of other things, read a book about people adrift at sea in a dinghy for weeks. not good. painful. i went through that situation with my grandpa, pulling the plug, and it would have been best for the family not to wait so long.

Went through this with my dad and mother-in law. if there is a living will in place you MUST follow their wishes. Pull the plug on this poor woman and give her poor husband some closure. The state has no right to get involved. It is none of their business. This is between her and her husband.

Let this be a lesson to those that do not have a "Living Will"!!!! and do not want to be a vegetable in a brain dead situation!!!!! Don't just tell someone your wishes, put it in writing!!!!

Where are all these "Do Gooders"!!!!!! when they were pulling the plug on 5 month old Baby Sun in Texas last week because his lungs were not growing and would die ?????? Also Texas law states that, in Texas doctors make decission on life or death call!!!!!

Before the media nationalized Terri, there have been many in Florida and every other state that have had the tube removed and there will be many more after she passes on!!!!

assachewsetts also doe's not recognize living wills. You'll need a health care proxy which will involve your doctor as well as your family. A living will however in conjunction with your proxy can add some weight. Getting mine done this week

[piemma]

In RI, if you are having an operation that involves risk, you are mandated to sign a health proxy but a living will is also valid. I had both when I had my bypass surgery.

Sad to hear Terry has died today. Or i guess i should say Terry was starved to death by the courts. I think its odd that the Far left in this country are more than happy to remove the feeding tube on this innocent women but they will be the first ones to be protesting to save someone like Scott Peterson who murdered his wife and child is put to death. The mentally of these people is down right scary and borderline insane. Kill the innocent and spare the murderors. Sick just sick. Prayers to Terry's family

May she rest in PEACE.....
