Schiavo Thread Part Deux

[Guynemer]

Fine, fight the Right.

But these people are hurting, Che. Deeply.

Delay is scum. Frist is scum. They don't give a **** about Terri one way or another; this is all about 2006 and 2008 for them.

For the parents, it's about Terri. Lay off of them.

I AM Supercommie!

The sad part of this feud is that the family and the husband used to be the best of friends: http://www.usatoday.com/printedition...25_dom.art.htm

People have the right to refuse medical care under any circumstances- so Terry has a right to die, which is as valid as her right to live. A court was asked to decide (already biased under the law towards life) whether there was sufficient evidence, as spelled out by the Florida law, to establish whether she would have wanted to die. The court found sufficient evidence of a wish to die on terry's part.

Yes, people ***** and moan and dispute the finding- which is why there have been countless appeals of the decision. And the court ruling has stood.

So all your side has going for it is assuming the court system must be wrong cause you don't like the ruling. Yeah, one side is being very illogical and childish. Its your side TCO.

You're not responding to the point of the first paragraph of the article and the general issue. You are moving to an argument of the case rather than the specific point raised. IOW you are fighting a straw man.

For the husband, it's also about what was Terri. The right, including several people here, have gone full bore after Michael Schiavo, including trying to take out a contract on the man. Then we're accused of gleefully wanting to kill the woman. The problem with you liberals is you just don't want to get dirty, and that's why the GOP will always PWN your flabby asses. Until you decide to fight just as dirty as they do, you will continue to be their sloppy little *****.

no clue to what supercommie is but ok. I agree the parents arent to blame her they want their kid back. Its not thier fault what she did or didnot do to herself

[Tuberski]

I really wish this thing would be over so I can have my nickname back.

I keep thinking people are talking to me every time I see "tube".

ACK!

Nurses arn't experts in Neurology, NYE. I would rather trust science than the testimony of a nurse who my be lying, or may be misinterpreting reflexive actions.

[GePap]

I have little sympathy for the parents. Maybe its the fact they have become TV whores that puts me off a little.

[Guynemer]

Che, perhaps you missed the first part of my post.

**** Tom Delay. **** Bill Frist. Those miserable mother****ers and the rest of their ilk should be belittled and insulted and driven into the goddamned dirt with each and every weapon at our disposal, with extreme prejudice.

The parents are just doing everything they can to hang on to the daughter they love. I don't agree with them at all. But if you can't find any sympathy for them or their position, you're a pathetic human being.

[TCO]

Clearly this whole debate shows that a signed statement is the way to go for these issues. What is to stop a future husband from lying about his wife's feelings in the future (even if Terri's is telling the truth)?

[chequita guevara]

HAH! According to USA Today, I'm totally right! They are lying scum! IN YOUR FACE!

[notyoueither]

Actually? Your attitude is why the far left is so hopelessly far from any sort of power in a liberal democracy that you should view being given the guardianship of the toilet brush as an accomplishment.

There's a difference. I have seen science fall flat on its face in being wrong too many times so I always put a lot of stock in what people who have first hand knowlegde have to say.

[Guynemer]

"Living Wills" are almost always completely and utterly worthless, TCO. They are too vague and can never hope to cover every nuance or possibility of a given medical scenario. I've never dealt with one that had any value apart from doubling as toilet paper in a pinch.

Durable Powers of Attorney for Medical Care are the only way to go; and that is what Michael Schiavo has.
