Bowing to HMO Pressure, GOP To Kill Terri Schiavo |
GOP hypocrisy: grandstand on one vegetable, but pull the plug on all
others.
===============================================
George Bush signed the law which allows the hospitals to make this
decision:
A patient's INABILITY to PAY for medical care combined with a
prognosis that renders further care futile are two reasons a hospital
might suggest CUTTING OFF life support, the chief medical officer at
St. Luke's Episcopal Hospital said Monday.
Dr. David Pate's comments came as the family of Spiro Nikolouzos
fights to keep St. Luke's from turning off the ventilator and
artificial feedings keeping the 68-year-old grandfather alive.
St. Luke's notified Jannette Nikolouzos in a March 1 letter that it
would withdraw life-sustaining care of her husband of 34 years in 10
days, which would be Friday. Mario Caba-llero, the attorney
representing the family, said he is seeking a two-week extension, at
minimum, to give the man more time to improve and to give his family
more time to find an alternative facility.

Doctors should be allowed to administer euthanasia in all appropriate cases
to quickly end suffering, but they shouldn't be given the outright power to
do so on their own. In order the people who should have the right to
decide...
1. the person themself
2. spouse
3. family
4. medical experts
5. courts

He's definitely wrong. Doctors could decide to end a life just to

So when her father said she gave a big smile when he told her she was going to get

My wife's consultant told me that her brain was so badly damaged that there was no
possibility of consciousness - 5 minutes later she opened her eyes, lifted herself up on
one arm, pointed straight at the doctor, and said: "Yeah, yeah, yeah" when I said she
was conscious and listening to what was being said.
The next day he took me aside and said that she was "not really conscious".

Reflex reaction is all she is capable of. Her ability to interact with

Michael Schiavo has another "side" to him that makes statements like the above.
Of course, those who have reported that he has repeatedly made "abusive" remarks
about his wife are just part of the agenda of the 'Right To Life' people who are using
every trick in the book to get their own way - keeping people alive so that they can
suffer.

But what has that to do with the fact that Schiavo's brain
has gone, and all we're preserving is a lump of meat? Even
if all the ***** spewed about Mikchael Schiavo were to be
100% true, it does not alter the fact that keeping a turnip
alive at $80,000 a year of medicaid makes absolutely no
fucking sense. If she could even blink her eyes on command,
then fine. But that's not what we're talking about. No
brain! No feelings. No awareness. No recovery, ever. Totally
hopeless. Terri isn't there anymore. Her parents need to be
*****-slapped.

What life? The wife is a breathing corpse.
The only reason anybody thinks the body is alive is due to a 2nd century
education. They're still having problems with the discovery of the brain.

'Terri's 1996 brain scan shows 75% normal brain tissue; not scar tissue. It is not all fluid.
That report is bogus. Her cortex is not missing; not at all. Some areas are thinned,
probably due to hydrocephalus, with the fluid pushing against her brain. She is
functioning. That is what is important. I have seen people a lot worse than her, and
they are talking. A brain scan taken two years ago showed improvement.'

Damn. Forgot to put the "not" on the end of the above. Also,
note that that's 1996. It's 9 years later. Any sign of
improvement? She obviously isn't talking. Undoctored video
evidence also demonstrates she isn't functioning. It would
tend to lead one to suspect that the other claims might be
taken with a grain of salt. I'm giving up now. You're an
utterly, deluded, hopeless fuckwit. everything that you put
up gets shot down, and then you just trundle out the next
bit of *****. Desperate clinging to unfounded belief is a
terribly sad thing to witness.

Ultimately it is all about whether or not those who are capable of killing should take the
lead in the world of medicine.
What say you?
Just think of how much better the world would be if all these troublesome physical and
mental cripples didn't exist?
As Dr Christian Barnard (the famous heart-tramsplant surgeon) said in 1990
'Doctors should decide when a patient should die. Without reference to the patient's
wishes, the wishes of the family, the opinion of other doctors, or any interference from
the law'
You would be surprised how many doctors agree with the above.
My phone rang:
"Corinne is breathing her last breath!", said the nurse.
She sounded triumphant, excited. She was enjoying participating in the engineering of
the death of a fellow human being.
I had been with my wife for ten years, 24 hours a day.
Can you imagine that?
During the last 4 years of her life she could not feed herself.
She could not walk.
She could not engage in conversation with anybody other than myself.
Only I understood what she was talking about because she was constantly referring to
things that had happened when only I was present
Everyday I took her out. She liked being with people.
I used to feed her in public. Spoonful by spoonful.
One day a woman asked "What's wrong with her?"
"Tell her", I said to Corinne.
Corinne fixed with with a direct gaze and said:
"I've got rabies!"
A woman gives her a nasty look as she approaches us
"Toulouse Le Trec doesn't like me", says Corinne.
Now that IS smart, eh?

People who cannot look after themselves have a right to life only if someone is
prepared to pay for it. Those who do not have financial support cannot expect to be
kept alive. BUT - in the case of Terri Schiavo tens of millions could easily be raised to
provide for her support. The issue is that those who seek Terri's death are seeking to
change the constitution in their favour.
The language that is being banded about is this case is really wild. Felos (the
guy who started it all) sounds like a Nazi! He is accusing the American government of
engaging in "thuggery" and behaving like "Stalinists".
I bet that came out a book he has read about Nazism?

===============================================
George Bush signed the law which allows the hospitals to make this
decision:
A patient's INABILITY to PAY for medical care combined with a
prognosis that renders further care futile are two reasons a hospital
might suggest CUTTING OFF life support, the chief medical officer at
St. Luke's Episcopal Hospital said Monday.
Dr. David Pate's comments came as the family of Spiro Nikolouzos
fights to keep St. Luke's from turning off the ventilator and
artificial feedings keeping the 68-year-old grandfather alive.
St. Luke's notified Jannette Nikolouzos in a March 1 letter that it
would withdraw life-sustaining care of her husband of 34 years in 10
days, which would be Friday. Mario Caba-llero, the attorney
representing the family, said he is seeking a two-week extension, at
minimum, to give the man more time to improve and to give his family
more time to find an alternative facility.

So it's not really the alleged sanctity of human life that's the issue
here?
