Shoot all the Judges

Bor you don't even demonstrate enough knowledge of the case to comment.

But Dr. William Cheshire, a neurologist at the Mayo Clinic-Jacksonville, examined Schiavo's medical records and watched videotapes provided by her parents and concluded she was "most likely in a state of minimal consciousness."

Your doctor saw video tapes and reviewed records, LOL.

I wouldn't know about that. I haven't been there to see for myself that she's in a coma or on life support.

I'm guessing that you don't either and are getting your news from a different source then the pro death media.

It isn't a matter of conjecture maing.

She isnt on life support. The sum total of extraordinary measures to keep her alive was a feeding tube. To label that "life support" is disingenous at best.


And there is no contention she is in a coma. Clearly she is awake, and no one is disputing the fact. But the representation in the media keeps suggesting she is in one

Got it. Then my perception was incorrect.

dang then, that's crappy if they removed her only support...

You can be in a vegitative state without being on "life support"
Blood pumps, lungs breath with out your brain telling them too.

Not exactly. When I think of a vegitative state, I think of complete brain death. Nothiing. No synapses. No reflexive instructions to flex muscles.

If that is not the case...

If it wasn't for JA's type of judges, they'd be able to kill her alot quicker. Instead they've gotta pull the feed tube and do it the slow way.

Agreed... i would like to see her dropped from a building as one of the objects Dave Letterman can drop, or used as a crash test dummy.

Sounds like some Bushie croonie doesn't have the first clue to how the legal system works. Which is no surpise. Dubya and Jeb don't seem to understand it either.

Dubya signed into effect a couple years ago the law that gives DOCTORS, not spouses, not parents, to make the decision on whether to extend life by artificial means. Of course, Dubya does nothing but consistently show inconsistency anyway. As here.

Then you got Jeb, showing up on TV promising everyone that he is going to save her and promising her parents nothing will happen. Of course, Jeb's promises don't mean shit - as his history has shown - and the courts slapped him back down. What does he do next? Coughs up some "expert" that has "startling new evidence" of her condition. This so called expert is a member of the church and two other organizations bent on prolonging her suffering. No surprise. What is a surprise is this so called "expert" made his diagnosis based on a one hour video tape. He never even saw her in person prior to "evaluating" her. So this man is such an expert (read : croonie) that he knows more about her from one hour of video tape than her own doctors know from 10+ years of daily treatment and care? Yeah... right.

Thank god for judges with a lick of common sense left. YAY! for them.

i think the judges made the right call, I don't think letting her starve to death is right or should be leagl, but the judges did their job.

I think this is the perfect case for doctor assisted euthenasia.. but the conservatives will NEVER back that plan.

If they are going to remove the tube knowing that she will starve to death, they should legally be able to euthanize her.

you dont se how this has EVERYTHING to do with what ive been saying?
