terri schiavo

I know, we're not quite sick enough of this. However, they just released the autopsy results (link). Turns out that we "cheerleaders of death," to quote Rouser2, were pretty much correct. Specifically, it seems that: <ul> Her brain was about half the weight of a normal human brain "She...

I just heard Sean Hannity make the following comment: "Dems are politicising the Schiavo case. That should come as a surprise to no one." I think my ears are actually bleeding from listening to unmitigated hypocrisy and propaganda. They should put a health warning before the show.

Here is a question posed on another board, but unanswered regarding Terri Schiavo's early CT scans. Is there a radiologist on the board? Terri's trauma occurred on 2/25/90. Her CT scan on 2/25 read "normal." Her CT scan on 2/27 also read "normal". Her scan on 3/30 "shows noncommunicating...

"... take it to the bank. She did not have a flat EEG." -- "DR. BERNADINE HEALY, FMR. HEAD OF THE RED CROSS in remarks made on the Joe Scarboro Show, 3/31/05: "...Well, I think this is the dangerous echo chamber of the press that we all know about where something is repeated. A good example...

In his current commentary, James Randi wrote: "Terri Schiavo died long ago, if living involves being conscious — which requires a cerebral cortex; she had none. Her reactions to light, movement, and sound, were attributable to simple reflexive brain stem and forebrain functions, not to...

I think not but... ...the hounds have picked up the fox scent. Link Dan Rather will certainly read. Not because it concerns him, but just so he knows he's not long alone in his new, but soon closing, 60minII office.

Jesse Jackson joins Terri Schiavo fight Oh yeah, this will help make it less of a circus. :rolleyes: I guess Al Sharpton wasn't available?

I’ve been listening to both the TV and Radio personalities. It seems most are trying to fan the flames and infuriate everyone. Responsibility seems to have been thrown out the door. Some are calling for the judicial system to be thrown out. The more I listen, the more upset the callers are...

First, I'd just like to point out that there are more threads going that complain about the constant attention given the Schiavo case then there are that actually discuss the Schiavo case. Just thought I'd put that out there.... Now, be warned! Schiavo is mentioned in this link but only to...

Can you explain to me why the god-fearing people who want to keep the tube in are allowed to play god, while the other people who want to keep the tube out aren't? To answer what somebody asked in another thread, yes, I'm very tired of the whole situation. It's one of the baldest, most...

Just wondering. Don't get me wrong, I can see why the issue would interest people....to a point. But enough already. Maybe it's not as bad where you are, but around here, this is getting almost as worn as the whole OJ thing. You can hardly talk to someone without hearing the latest every...

Yoiu think it's over? HA! Terri is a devote Roman Catholic, correct? Welllllll......... Note that RC's are not allowed to be cremated. Now, you might say "this is the husband's call". To which I say "Welcome to the USA, land of opportunity for lawyers". Just watch.

I was cruising the new's watch sites and I found this gem at Media Matters Read the story here So the guy was never an official Nobel Prize Nominee!

I've had a few discussions with people here about the separation of powers in the U.S., and why it is vital that there be branches of government who are not elected by the people to act as a check on those that are. The Terri Schiavo case is the best example I've seen of this in my lifetime, I...

You know it is already in the planning stages. But who's going to play Terri, herself? At least she has no lines to memorize. How 'bout Delay? Too bad Boris Karloff is dead. Who else will get a part in this wonderful docudrama?

The Schindlers have asked the full 12-member appellate court for an expedited rehearing. (link) From the article: I hope this means that Bush and the GOP are done posturing and won't try any more legal maneuvering to keep this poor woman's shell "alive." I'm not holding my breath. Every time...

I think its called HIPPA. I forget what it stands for but it basically added a bunch of privacy rights when it comes to peoples medical records. What I dont get is how all these doctors ect. seem to be running round and blabbing about the specifics of her condition. How can they do that wh/o...

http://www.terrisfight.org/ So it looks like Terri's still hanging in there... I'd like to hear some more opinions on this, especially from any newbies out there. In particular, if you happen to be in Florida and have followed this story with interest, this is the place to yack about it...

Terri Shiavo From Cnn.com Here's the deal. Her husband wants the feedings stopped, the rest of her family wants her to continue to be fed. I didn't think a feeding tube was an extraordinary medical measure. She is breathing on her own. I think the husband should divorce her and walk away...
