Terri's Death by Starvation

With the death of Terri, I have much to say. In an effort to refrain from saying something I may regret due to my emotions, I will refrain until tomorrow except to say my prayers are with the Schindlers and my heart goes out to them. I will leave you with this:

It is an editorial that appeared on the front page of our Long Island newspaper, Newsday this morning prior to the announcment of Terri's death.

Happy Easter and Schiavo Comment

On this Easter Sunday, may the risen Lord bless you all!

On this Easter Sunday let us remember the suffering Jesus endored on the Cross and let us keep in our prayers Terri Schiavo who is suffering a slow and painful death.

On this Easter Sunday I will keep my comments short.

Michael, if the starvation is so painless, why are you giving her morphine?

Remember, you and your "lawyer" will eventually answer to God.

These men are pure evil.

No more comments today, just some links which are self explainatory!

Husband Denies Terri Easter Communion; Parents Left With Few Legal Options Terri's family unsuccessfully urged Michael Schiavo to allow his wife the sacrament of communion during the holiest day of the Christian year. Meanwhile, Terri Schiavo's parents, Robert and Mary Schindler, are almost out of legal options on Terri's ninth day without food or water.

See, I told you so!

It is starting already... Once she is dead, we will find out she was murdered... Not to mention, this death by starvation is far from easy and painless.

Terri's husband is not looking out for Terri

There is much evidence to say that Michael Schiavo is not making decisions in Terri's best interest. I think once she dies, we will be shocked at what eventually comes out. This is only the beginning.

• Michael said at first he didn't know of Terri's wishes
• 7 years later he said her wishes were to die
• Michael did nothing to keep Terri alive
• Terri wanted a divorce:

Friend: Terri Wanted a Divorce

• Michael wanted her dead, he did nothing to help and prevented treatment

Terri Nurse: Let Me Testify

• Michael has another family now, he shouldn't be making the decisions.

If Terri's parents want her to live, then she should live! Period.

Lawyer: Terri Schiavo Asked to Stay Alive

There is so much contradictory evidence to what Michael says, it is obvious the courts are ignoring it all.

Gov. Bush should now declare a criminal investigation and order the tube back in.

The Murder of Terri Schiavo!

This is the most ridiculous case I have ever seen and I am most disappointed in this country and our judicial system.

• Those who oppose keeping Terri alive are the same people who would keep killers from getting the death penalty. She has committed no crime!
• They are concerned about how we treat prisoners of war and how our interrogation techniques violate their human rights. What about the rights of Terri to LIVE, only her husband has said she wants to die!
• They want to make sure those prisoners are fed proper Muslim meals. But she is denied the most basic needs of food and water!

Treating Convicted murderers Better Than Terri

• Terri is NOT in a persistent vegetative state (PVS) - Neurologist for DCF - "Terri not PVS" (PDF)
• Many nurses have stated that Terri is alert and alive and her husband has consistently denied giving her any help and rehabilitation.

This is NOT a political issue. This is a human rights issue, the right to live.

• She is not on a ventilator or any machinery to keep her alive. She is only given the basic human needs of food and water.

Would you kill your child if he/she was mentally unable to feed herself?

Put the tube back in today, Terri is dying a slow death of starvation, we don't allow anyone to die that way! We don't allow assisted suicide, yet we allow the killing of this woman.

It is of my opinion that there may be good evidence to charge Michael with attempted murder, possibly murder if she dies. All they are asking is to have a retrial to show evidence not allowed in the first trial.
