Just Thinkin' - Terri's On Death Row

Susan brought her newborn baby boy home from the hospital and was
immediately overwhelmed by the chores involved in sustaining the life
of a newborn. Gone were the nights of restful sleep and self-
indulgent parties with her long-time friends. They were replaced with
dirty diapers, sore nipples from the endless rounds of breastfeeding
and fits of crying at the most inopportune times. She told everyone
that having "Sam" would change her life and indeed it did. In her
mind this infant child was the opposite of what she expected; he was
just too much work. She wanted things to go back to the way they
were.



So, bright and early a few days ago Susan called a few close friends,
several elected officials, a couple police officers and a handful of
judges. "I have decided that Sam is too much of a burden. I'm going
to kill him," she said. At first, several pleaded with her to
reconsider. "No. I think I want to put Sam out of his misery. He's
always crying and begging for food. It will be better this way."
Susan then took her little Sam out to the parking lot and, while her
invited guests assembled themselves, she crushed his skull with a
hammer. It only took a blow or two as heavy metal and soft skull were
never meant to co-mingle but in the end she was successful. Blood,
brain matter and baby fine hair pooled behind the child's lifeless
body. "I'm serving a light lunch for anyone who would like to come
inside. Just give me a few minutes to clean up this mess from the
parking lot God knows I don't want to get a fine for littering," she
said in her most hospitable hostess voice.



Obviously, if this scene had really played out in America any one of
those "guests" would have jumped on the lady to stop her from her
senseless killing. She would be dragged from the scene in cuffs for
even suggesting such a brutal murder. In fact, you may be a bit
outraged at my description of a make-believe crime. Why aren't we
just as outraged by the real life murder taking place in Florida? Why
is it then that a governor, judges, law enforcement and doctors are
standing by and watching as Terry Schiavo is killed? Is it because it
will take two weeks to carry out the act? Perhaps it is due to a less
painful way of death versus that of little Sam? Maybe we let it
happen because poor Terry is in a bed-ridden disabled condition that
gives her life less value. Is that it? No, seriously, think about it.
Is that it? Her life has lost all value even though her mom and dad
are trying everything they know to do to stop the hammer from
slamming into her defenseless body?



Terry-Shindler-Schiavo slipped into her current state about 13 years
ago under mysterious circumstances and her husband, Michael, has been
working to have her executed ever since. In fact, much of the almost
$2 million in insurance money has been spent on attorneys that
Michael has used for the last six or seven years to have her
murdered. He brought an expert witness on rehabilitation to the
malpractice trial to show what would be required to help his wife.
After the award was granted, according to testimony, not a penny has
been spent to rehabilitate Terry. Not a penny. On the contrary, in a
stunning sworn affidavit, Carla Sauer Iyer, a registered nurse who
was employed at Palm Garden of Largo Convalescent Center in Largo ,
Fla. , from April 1995 to July 1996, while Terri Schiavo was a
patient there, testified: "Throughout my time at Palm Gardens ,
Michael Schiavo was focused on Terri's death. Michael would say 'When
is she going to die?' 'Has she died yet?' and 'When is that bitch
gonna die?'" Not only are we going to sit by and watch a murder
carried out but we quite possibly we may be witnessing a premeditated
murder.



Here is the Florida law that if applied could halt the proceedings:

Here's an article regarding what Governor Bush was doing on August
28, 2003 or thereabouts regarding the upcoming withdrawal of Terri's
feeding tube (as well as quotes from anti-euthanasia expert, well
known author on these issues, and attorney, Wesley Smith, had to say
about what Bush had done to stop this at this point) :

Attorney: Jeb Bush letter only a 'good first step'
Florida judge dumps governor's plea for brain-disabled woman in file

Posted: August 28, 2003
5:00 p.m. Eastern

By Sarah Foster
© 2003 WorldNetDaily.com

A letter sent by Florida Gov. Jeb Bush to a probate court judge
asking him to delay the removal of a feeding tube from a brain-
disabled woman is "a good first step," but the governor will need to
do more if he wishes to halt the pending starvation death of Terri
Schindler-Schiavo, says noted anti-euthanasia author and attorney
Wesley Smith.

"The letter is nice, but it's not sufficient for the task," Smith
told WorldNetDaily.

In the two-page communication dated Tuesday Bush asked Judge George
Greer, of Florida's 6th Circuit Court, Probate Division, to allow
Terri to live until a court-appointed guardian can "independently
investigate the circumstances of this case and provide the court with
an unbiased view that considers the best interests of Mrs. Schiavo."

Bush also urged Greer to reweigh evidence as to Terri's wishes "as
often as necessary ... to determine whether 'clear and convincing
evidence' still exists that Mrs. Schiavo would now choose withdrawal
of life-prolonging procedures."

Smith said he was "not optimistic" that the letter would have any
effect.

"[A request] will not be enough to persuade the judge," he
explained. "It doesn't mean anything unless the governor is willing
to have the attorney general bring an action by the state of Florida
to investigate certain issues and support the right to life of this
woman."

Although there is some question about how much even a willing
governor can do in a case like this, Smith said Bush should try to
intervene, "and if he fails, at least the effort has been made."

He said the governor's "essential point" is correct, that a guardian
ad litem should be appointed to look at a number of troubling issues
that have surfaced. However, there is nothing requiring Greer to
appoint anyone guardian or to carry out even one of Bush's
suggestions.

(Note from saveterrislife: By law, Terri has the right to be
represented by her own attorney, not an attorney who represents her
family, but her VERY OWN attorney. Terri also has the right, by
Florida Statute, to have a Guardian Ad Litem - G.A.L. - (That Terri
be given a Guardian Ad Litem is written into Terri's Law, but WHY is
it written into Terri's Law, is the question, as she is ALREADY
entitled to a G.A.L. by Florida statute... and remember, she still,
as of August 6, 2004, does not HAVE a Guardian Ad Litem! (despite the
fact she is ALREADY ENTITLED TO ONE BY FLORIDA STATUTE, WHICH IS
BEING IGNORED, AND ALMOST ALWAYS HAS BEEN IGNORED, AND THE FACT THAT
TERRI'S LAW STATES SHE MUST HAVE A G.A.L. AS WELL!!!) She (FOR A
SHORT TIME) HAD a G.A.L. named Richard Pearse, but he was dismissed
by the corrupt court after he determined in his report that Michael
and his relatives who testified on his behalf regarding Terri's
supposed "wishes" (ALL OF THEIR TESTIMONY WAS HEARSAY ONLY AND LIES!)

(which NONE OF THEM BROUGHT UP *YEARS EARLIER* WHEN MICHAEL WAS SUING
AT THE MALPRACTICE TRIAL! AT THAT TIME MIKEY STATED HE'D GET HER ALL
THE THERAPY AND REHAB SHE NEEDED WITH THE MONEY SHE WAS TO BE
AWARDED, (THAT HE WOULD HAVE TOTAL CONTROL OVER!) AND THAT HE WOULD
CARE FOR HER UNTIL THE DAY SHE DIED, WHICH WOULD BE A LONG TIME
COMING ACCORDING TO THE EXPERT HE GOT TO TESTIFY FOR HIM, WHO
TESTIFIED SHE HAD A LONG LIFE EXPECTANCY - AND, GET THIS, THE MONEY
HE WAS AWARDED WAS BASED ON HER ESTIMATED LENGTH OF LIFE!)

was lying and had changed his story several times as well as that
Michael had a conflict of interest

(MANY conficts of interest in MY opinion - Just a few are: Terri's
bonescan done in early 1991, about a year after her
mysterious "collapse" under VERY QUESTIONABLE CIRCUMSTANCES showed
Terri was a "victim of trauma".

Specifically, the March 5, 1991 report notes a compression fracture
of her thigh "which is presumably traumatic." Other "hot spots" are
suggestive of fractures in her ribs, the first lumbar vertebra and
several thoracic vertebrae, both sacroiliac joints, and both knees
and ankles. The report states, "the patient has a history of trauma"
and "the presumption is that the other multiple areas of abnormal
activity ["hot spots"] also relate to previous trauma." Terri's
Bonescan also states "Closed Head Wound" at the top left portion of a
form stating the name of the doctor ordering the Bonescan, the date,
and other information.

Unnamed physicians who reviewed the report at the request of the
Schindler's Attorney Pat Anderson conclude Terri was the victim of
severe physical abuse.

A Radiologist who looked at Terri's Bonescan said, "sombody worked
her over REAL GOOD!"

The emergency motion further asserts that medical records show that
Terri has never been evaluated or treated by an orthopedic surgeon
for the multiple injuries indicated in the bone scan and that may
have a profound bearing on her current medical condition.



Doctor Says Schiavo Likely Victim of 'Some Kind of Trauma'

The four paragraphs directly below this is taken from the Media Kit
posted at Terri's website. Below that is a true transcript (also
posted on www.terrisfight.org, in the download section titled "Bone
Scan"). We've transcribed it here for easier reading, since the
original was very faint with broken and blurred letters.

You will read a transcript of the doctor describing what he found on
Terri's bone scan. We had help with definitions and will bracket
those terms for further understanding of what you're reading.

Allegedly -- according to Michael Schiavo -- Terri's brain damage was
due to a heart attack. Read this and then decide which you believe.
-- Jackie -- October 16th, 2003

P.S. If you haven't made your calls for Terri, PLEASE DO.

__________________________________________________________________

Terri was NEVER diagnosed as a heart attack victim when she was
admitted to the Northside Humana emergency room in February 1990. To
this day, her family does not know the true cause of her collapse.
Doctors immediately excluded heart attack as her blood enzymes were
not elevated -- typical in all heart attack victims. Terri's
toxicology screen also eliminated any suspicion of drugs.
At the time of Terri's admittance, blood tests revealed a depletion
of electrolytes and her attending physician HYPOTHESIZED that low
blood potassium MAY have caused her collapse. It was with this
information that Michael Schiavo entered into a lawsuit against
Terri's General Practitioner and Gynecologist, claiming negligence on
their part.

In preparation for Terri's October 2002 trial, her ER records were
reviewed and it was plainly noted in the "Admitting Summary" that
Terri had a "rigid neck" when she was admitted to the hospital. These
injuries were never disclosed to Terri's family, nor -- to their
knowledge -- were they ever investigated. The doctor reviewing these
records testified that the only other patient he treated with similar
injuries was the victim of an attempted strangulation.

The prospect that foul play may have led to Terri's collapse and
ensuing heart stoppage was enhanced when a bone scan was recently
found. This scan, taken 53 weeks after Terri's collapse revealed that
Terri had fractured ribs, damage to her pelvic area, LI vertebrae,
spine, both knees and both ankles. It also revealed that Terri had
suffered a broken femur and a broken back. Three doctors concluded
that Terri had endured trauma of some sort. The radiologist
responsible for the scan plainly stated: "This patient has a history
of trauma".

Nuclear Imaging

BONE SCAN

3-5-91

Indication: Evaluate for trauma

Procedure and findings. Multiple gama camera images of the axial
[trunk] and proximal appendicular [limbs] skeleton in the anterior
[front] and posterior [back] projections were obtained following 2.1
millicuries of technetium 99m HDP.

There are an extensive number of focal abnormal areas of nuclide
accumulation of intense type. These include multiple bilateral ribs,
the costovertebral [where ribs and vertebra come together] aspects of
several of the thoracic [upper] vertebral bodies, the L1 [lower]
vertebral body, both sacroliac joints, the distal right femoral
diaphysis, both knees and both ankles, the right greater than the
left.

Correlative radiographs are obtained of the lumbar spine and of the
right femur [leg bone] which reveal compression fracture; minor,
superior and plate of L1, and shaggy, irregular periosteal
ossification along the distal femoral diaphysis, and metaphysis
primarily ventrally. [calcification showing where bones were broken
and have healed].

The patient has a history of trauma. Most likely the femoral
periosteal reaction reflects a response to a subperiosteal hemorrhage
and the activity in L1 correlates perfectly with the compression
fracture which is presumably traumatic.

The presumptions is that the other multiple areas of abnormal
activity also relate to previous trauma. Additional possibilities
would be neoplastic bone disease, widespread disseminated infectious
bone disease or multiple bone infarcts from abnormal hemoglobin.

CONCLUSION: Multiple areas of abnormal scintigraphic [actinographic?]
accumulation, some of which are radiograph for differential as
discussed above.

NOTE: The person who helped with the spelling and definitions said
simply, what the doctor described would most likely be the results of
someone who had been kicked, and kicked and kicked.

The ER report said her "neck was rigid". From the videos we've seen
on Terri's website, it appears that the 'rigid neck' continues. As
she was following the movement of a balloon, she tracked it to the
right by turning her head; as it was moved to her left side you'll
notice she tracks it only with her eyes. When the Priest would come
in to pray with her -- even though she tried -- she wasn't able to
bow her head "because of her stiff neck". Remember "the doctor
reviewing these records testified that the only other patient he
treated with similar injuries was the victim of an attempted
strangulation."

If a person is strangulated it follows there would be a loss of
oxygen to the brain -- causing brain damage -- as the blood supply
was blocked. - Jackie

Also see Nuerologist Dr. William Hammesfahr's Complete Report
on his lengthy edamination of Terri Schiavo, performed on
September 12, 2002:
http://terrisfight.org/documents/Hammesfahrexam.htm

From Hammesfahr's report cited at link above:
" The neck exam was abnormal. She had severe limitation of range of
motion in the flexion, and to a lesser degree in extension. Indeed,
I was able to pick up her entire torso and head and neck area with
pressure on the back of her neck in the suboccipital region. These
findings of cervical spasm and limitation of range of motion are
consistent with a neck injury. No bruits were identified."

Continuing, "Spinal Exam: The patient's exam from a spinal
perspective is abnormal. The degree of limitation of range of
motion, and of spasms in her neck, is consistent with a neck injury.
The abnormal sensory exam, that shows evidence of her hypoxic
encephalopathic strokes (right side sensory responses are different
from left) also suggests a spinal cord injury at around the level of
C4. Her physical exam and videotapes also suggest a spinal cord
injury is also present, as she has much better control over he face,
head, and neck, than over her arms and legs. This reminds one of a
person with a spinal cord injury who has good facial control, but
poor use of arms and legs. It is possible that a correctable spinal
abnormality such as a herniated disk may be found that could be
treated and result in better neurological functioning. This should be
looked for, as may be treatable. Thus, there may be an injured disk
or spinal cord; the disk injury is more treatable, the spinal cord
injury, if present without a disk injury, may be more difficult to
treat. A person with a spinal cord injury and hypoxic encephalopathy
will need different treatment and rehab recommendations than one who
just has a hypoxic encephalopathic."

"Interestingly, I have seen this pattern of mixed brain (cerebral)
and spinal cord findings in a patient once before, a patient who was
asphyxiated."

END OF EXCERPTS FROM DR. HAMMESFAHR'S COMPLETE REPORT
OF SEPT. 12, 2002 EXAM ON TERRI



(OBVIOUSLY, Michael wants to murder Terri - finish off what he
started on February 25, 1991 -, and shut her up FOR GOOD! That's why
he stopped allowing her to have any type of therapy whatsoever in
early 1993, RIGHT AFTER HE GOT THE MONEY IN THE MALPRACTICE CASE,
WHICH HE GOT BASED ON LIES AND FOR SUING OVER MEDICAL ERRORS WHICH
NEVER ACTUALLY HAPPENED. HE SUED BASED ON THE FACT THAT TERRI
COLLAPSED DUE TO SHE HAD A POTASSIUM IMBALANCE, AND CLAIMED HER
DOCTOR SHOULD HAVE TESTED FOR THIS. HE WON THE MONEY BASED ON THIS
AND HE ALSO TRIED TO MAKE THE WORLD THINK TERRI HAD EITHER ANOREXIA
OR BULIMIA, WHICH ARE BOTH LIES! THE POTASSIUM IMBALANCE SHE HAD AT
THE TIME OF HER COLLAPSE WILL BE WRITTEN ABOUT ELSEWHERE ON THIS SITE
AS SOON AS I GET TO IT).

This is just ONE HUGE conflict of interest Michael Schiavo has with
being Terri's Guardian, not to mention the fact that he spent the
money she was awarded in the malpractice case on legal bills in order
to murder her by removing her feeding tube and withholding ORAL food
and fluids! What about the fact that Michael told the jury and court
in the malpractice case he would care for Terri the rest of her life,
and get her all the therapy she needed, (I guess he meant he'd care
for her $$$ before and after he murdered her), then, after he was
awarded the money (he actually received it in January, 1993), he has,
ever since then, allowed Terri to have NO FURTHER REHABILITATION! He
won't even let Terri hold anything in her hand to keep her
fingernails from touching her palms - he considers that a "form of
therapy" (per her former caregivers' affidavit). There's also
another HUGE conflict of interest that Michael is living with another
woman and has been for several years, and the fact that he has sired
two children with her, yet he refuses to divorce Terri, due to then
he wouldn't be her Guardian, thus he wouldn't be entitled to any
insurance money he may get if she died, and he wouldn't be IN CONTROL
of everything he illegally does to her, AND MOST OF ALL, SHE WOULD
GET BETTER WITH TONS OF WITHHELD-FOR-OVER A DOZEN YEARS FULL THERAPY
AND REHABILITATION THAT EXPERTS WOULD GIVE HER, AND THEN SHE MIGHT BE
ABLE TO LEARN TO COMMUNICATE ENOUGH TO TELL THE WORLD WHAT MICHAEL
DID TO HER ON THAT FATEFUL DAY ON FEBRUARY 25, 1990 (AND BEFORE THEN,
PER THE BONESCAN REGARDING PREVIOUS TRAUMA SHE HAD SUFFERED!!!)


(Back to what Gov. Bush was doing in August, 2003 re: Terri):

"The judge is free to pay no attention whatever to the governor's
letter as it is not a formal document in the case," said Smith.

And that's exactly what Greer did.

"I read the letter because it came from the governor and I respect
his position," Greer told the Associated Press. "Beyond that, it is
going in the file."

Greer insisted that he is bound by the 2nd District Court of Appeals
order of June 6 to set a hearing date for removal of the feeding tube
and that he is "not inclined" to appoint another guardian. At
present, Terri's legal guardian is her husband, Michael Schiavo.

On Friday, the Florida Supreme Court upheld the appeals court ruling
by refusing to intervene in the case. Greer has scheduled a hearing
for Sept. 11, at which time he will set a date for removing the tube,
which will result in Terri's death by starvation and dehydration
within 10 to 14 days.

At a news conference Tuesday, Schiavo said he wished the governor
would keep his thoughts to himself.

"This is not about Jeb Bush, it's not about the Schindlers, and it's
not about me," he said, according to WFLA-TV in Tampa. "It's about
Terri, and it always has been about Terri."

As WorldNetDaily reported, Terri's parents, Bob and Mary Schindler of
Gulf Port, Fla., have been locked in a decade-long battle with their
son-in-law over the care and custody of their daughter, who suffered
massive brain damage when she collapsed at her home 13 years ago
under unexplained circumstances at the age of 26. She left no written
instructions detailing treatment in the event she ever became
incapacitated.

Two years after Terri's collapse a jury awarded Schiavo $1.3 million
in a malpractice lawsuit he brought against her doctors. The money
was placed in a trust fund to pay for medical treatment and
rehabilitation, but she has received no therapy in over 10 years and
only minimal nursing care.

The bitter family dispute over the quality of her care escalated into
a major euthanasia battle five years ago when Schiavo petitioned the
court for permission to have Terri's feeding tube removed, claiming
she is in a persistent vegetative state from which she can never
recover and that she would not want to be kept alive by "artificial
means." The Schindlers and a growing number of doctors and
professionals in the field of rehabilitation of disabled people claim
she could recover with therapy, but the courts have consistently
sided with Schiavo and his lawyer, right-to-die advocate George
Felos.

Smith, who has written two major books on euthanasia, "Forced Exit"
and "The Culture of Death," is a recognized authority on medical
ethics and the social dynamics of what he calls "food-and-fluid"
cases like Terri's. When it comes to discussing her case – the way
it's being handled in the courts and its wider ramifications – he
doesn't mince words.

"Basically Terri is to be denied food and water because she's
disabled," Smith said bluntly. "It's discrimination against disabled
people. If you did this to a horse you'd go to jail."

Since filing his petition in 1998, Schiavo has maintained that in
seeking his wife's death by starvation he's only carrying out her
wishes. He says that despite her not having left any written
instructions, she once told him that she would not want to "be a
burden" or to be kept alive "on anything artificial." Later, his
brother Scott and another brother's wife recalled Terri had made
similar statements to each of them on separate occasions, that
she "would not want any kind of life support."

Smith is skeptical of such recollections and of the notion that the
once-vital young woman would choose to be starved to death rather
than receive therapy and be nourished by means of a simple feeding
tube through her abdomen to her stomach.

The key issue

"I find it interesting that [Schiavo and his relatives] never said
that when the medical malpractice suit was pending and the money
wasn't in the bank," Smith remarked. "That to me is the key issue.
That affects credibility. ... Casual statements that are brought up
long after the fact, after the money is in the bank, when the same
kind of statements were never made to the father or mother or the
siblings, and we have apparently no other independent friends of hers
other than those related to the husband – these statements strike me
as not very convincing evidence."

Nonetheless, Judge Greer accepted these alleged remarks by Terri as
indicative of her wishes.

Smith also took umbrage at the fact Schiavo has been allowed to act
as Terri's guardian despite several attempts by the Schindlers to
have him removed from that role.

"It's beyond the pale to me that a man who wants to remarry – and has
one child with his fiancée and is expecting another – is allowed to
have any say in this whatsoever when there's such an obvious conflict
of interest," Smith exclaimed. "It gives a whole new meaning to [the
saying] 'til death do us part,' doesn't it?"

The fact that Schiavo would inherit upon her death whatever is left
in Terri's medical trust fund set up with the money from the
malpractice suit presents a second conflict of interest.

"Because he has a stake in her death – he wishes to remarry and at
the same time would inherit whatever is left of her medical trust
fund – that he should not be the one making these decisions," said
Smith. "That should be done by the people who want to care for her –
her parents and siblings – and why a judge can't see that is beyond
me," he exclaimed.

Smith says the case for Terri's death is very weak. She is not
unconscious; she's clearly interacting with her environment – which
means she is not a candidate for court-ordered starvation under
Florida laws.

(Note: The court didn't order she not be given ORAL food and water
once her feeding tube was removed, neither did the court clarify that
Terri could be given ORAL food and water. Nonetheless, anyone who
allowed ORAL food and water to be withheld once the feeding tube was
removed can and should be withheld as guilty of attempted murder...
and those assisting to make sure Terri received no ORAL food and
water should be held as accesories to attempted murder as well!)

Moreover, the evidence claiming that she once said she would not want
to be kept alive if incapacitated is suspect.

"In the event of such a weak case – unless it's decided that people
like Terri do not deserve to live – you would give the benefit of
every doubt to life," Smith said. "But in our society today, because
of this right-to-die advocacy and the idea that it isn't the sanctity
of human life that counts but the quality of human life, the benefit
of doubt is being moved towards the side of death."

Smith warns that if it becomes acceptable and legal to withhold food
and water, the next step will be to promote lethal injection or other
simple method of terminating unwanted patients. The cases would
provide "a backdoor entrée" to euthanasia.

"Once the food-and-fluid cases become accepted, the logic is why
protract [death] for 14 days and deal with all that kind of stuff;
let's give them a needle," he said.

(Note by saveterrislife: EUTHANASIA BY LETHAL INJECTION HAS BEEN
GOING ON FOR QUITE SOME TIME IN THE NETHERLANDS, AND IT ALL STARTED
AFTER ONE WOMAN'S FOOD AND FLUIDS WERE ORDERED TO BE WITHHELD BY THE
COURT! THE FOLLOWING ARE SOME EXCERPTS OF DIRE WARNINGS TO AMERICA
FROM A PRESS RELEASE FROM "CRY FOR LIFE", AN ANTI EUTHANASIA GROUP IN
HOLLAND, HEADED BY A DOCTOR:

"The decision of the 6th Circuit Court of Florida is more important
than the Supreme Court Decision to ban euthanasia in the United
States of America. This Florida Court decision opens the (flood)gate
of subjective decision making in cases of life and death.

At the moment that, in the Dutch debate on euthanasia, a court ruled
that withholding food and fluid is a permissible medical treatment
the road was paved for the Euthanasia Law that is in force in Holland
now. It was in the case of Mrs. Ineke Stinissen, who had been in coma
for several years that a Dutch court ruled in 1990 that food and
fluid could be withheld from her. As is the case of Mrs. Schiavo,
this was at the request of her husband. Mrs. Stinissen died shortly
afterwards from starvation.

Since then the discussion about the termination of life has no longer
been based on objective facts on the terminal illness in the life of
a patient, but more and more on a subjective approach to the quality
of that patient's life and the subjective view of professional and
non professional persons about the right to life or death.

National Constitutions, the International Declaration on Human
Rights, the recent United Nations Declarations are all based on the
universal protection of the life of a person whatever his
circumstances are and without any form of discrimination. In medical
circles it is still accepted that, based on the historical
Hippocratic Oath, a medical doctor will never apply his skill to kill
a person.

It is not without reason that the United Nations Human Rights
Commission has questioned the Dutch Government expressing its
members' concern on the subjective regulations in the Dutch
Euthanasia law which allows a doctor to kill a patient. These
questions are still not answered. In Holland the debate has not
stopped with the introduction of the euthanasia law but is is even
increasing because doctors are still not willing to report their
euthanasia cases. Patients are not sure if the doctor helps to kill
or to cure. The Dutch Euthanasia Law is a very dangerous example to
follow.

It is extremely important that those organizations who support the
Supreme Court decision to ban Euthanasia take action against this
Florida Court Decision. An appeal should be made.

Strong Euthanasia Warning from Holland

By Bert P. Dorenbos, President Schreeuw om Leven (Cry for Life)
Hilversum, Holland

Florida's Terri Case Opens the Door for Euthanasia in the USA

Florida's 6th Circuit Court Judge George Greer has ordered that Mrs.
Terri Schindler-Schiavo's feeding tube be removed as of Wednesday
October 15th at 2 P.M. That tube provides her with essential
nutrition and hydration.

The request for this decision came from Mrs. Schiavo's husband
Michael. Medical evidence and information given by Mrs. Schiavo's
parents and other visitors prove that ending her life is a violation
of Mrs. Schiavo's human rights.

The decision of the 6th Circuit Court of Florida is more important
than the Supreme Court Decision to ban euthanasia in the United
States of America. This Florida Court decision opens the (flood)gate
of subjective decision making in cases of life and death.

At the moment that, in the Dutch debate on euthanasia, a court ruled
that withholding food and fluid is a permissible medical treatment
the road was paved for the Euthanasia Law that is in force in Holland
now. It was in the case of Mrs. Ineke Stinissen, who had been in coma
for several years that a Dutch court ruled in 1990 that food and
fluid could be withheld from her. As is the case of Mrs. Schiavo,
this was at the request of her husband. Mrs. Stinissen died shortly
afterwards from starvation.

Since then the discussion about the termination of life has no longer
been based on objective facts on the terminal illness in the life of
a patient, but more and more on a subjective approach to the quality
of that patient's life and the subjective view of professional and
non professional persons about the right to life or death.

National Constitutions, the International Declaration on Human

(Now, back to the article "Just Thinkin' - Terri's On Death Row"):

Recently, Florida 's Governor, Jeb Bush, filed a Friend of the Court
brief asking the judge in the case to reconsider. Judge Greer didn't
skip a beat as he ordered the execution to continue. I asked my
listeners to contact Governor Bush and thousands of you did only to
be told the governor couldn't do anything further. This is not true.
Since a criminal act is technically being carried out, Governor Bush
can intervene by demanding a criminal investigation. A dozen
prominent lawyers say the same thing including these two: "Not only
does the governor have such power, but the governor has the
constitutional duty to prevent any action taken pursuant to such a
court order, because such action would violate Ms. Schindler-
Schiavo's constitutionally guaranteed 'inalienable right to enjoy and
defend life' regardless of her 'physical disability' as secured by
Article 1 Section 2 of the Florida State Constitution," wrote
constitutional attorney Herb Titus, of Chesapeake, Va., in a
memorandum faxed to the governor's legal office.



(Note from saveterrislife: BE SURE TO READ ALL OF THESE ATTORNEYS'
LETTERS/MEMOS TO GOVERNOR BUSH. THEY WERE ALL DELIVERED TO GOV. BUSH
ON EITHER OCTOBER 15TH OR OCTOBER 16, 2003 AND THEY WILL BLOW YOUR
MIND IF YOU WERE NOT AWARE OF THEM! READ THEM AND ASK YOURSELF WHY
GOVERNOR BUSH KEPT INSISTING HE COULD NOT INTERVENE AND STOP TERRI'S
ATTEMPTED MURDER! ASK YOURSELF IF THESE EXPERT ATTORNEYS ALL
EMPHATICALLY INFORMED GOVERNOR BUSH HE ALREADY HAD THE POWER (AS
GOVERNOR) TO ACT AND THAT HE MUST ACT, WHY THEN DID GOVERNOR BUSH
TOTALLY IGNORE THESE EXPERT ATTORNEYS AND DO NOTHING FOR ABOUT AN
ENTIRE WEEK See ALL of the attorneys' letters here:

Memorandum from John B. Thompson, Attorney

Memorandum from Brian Fahling, Attorney
http://www.societyfortruthandjustice.com/new_page_3.htm

Memorandum from Herbert Titus, Attorney
http://www.societyfortruthandjustice.com/new_page_4.htm

Memorandum from Gibbs Law Firm, P.A. signed by David C. Gibbs III
and Enclosure to Governor Bush Re: "Motion For Clarification and
Supplemental Request For Implementation of Order" which shows the
Schindlers, (Terri's parents), asked Judge Greer to clarify that
Terri could be given ORAL food and water after her feeding tube was
removed) The Motion listed on this webpage was mistakenly listed at
the bottom of the page) *see link cited below to read Gibbs' and
Thompsons' letters to Gov. Bush*

Note: It is illegal to withhold ORAL (by mouth) food and water even
AFTER a feeding tube is removed. This is state sponsored EUTHANASIA,
which is ILLEGAL IN FLORIDA! THIS IS ATTEMPTED MURDER OF TERRI
SCHINDLER-SCHIAVO, WHICH HAS HAPPENED TWICE NOW IN FLORIDA!!!

Legal Solution Now on Hand—Will Governor Bush Intervene and Save
Terri's Life?

The following Internet links will take you to documents that are in
the hands of Governor Jeb Bush.
Printed copies of these documents were made available to the press at
the 11:30 AM, October 16, Press Conference.

Memorandum from the Thomas More Law Center

Memorandum from Herbert Titus, Attorney

Memorandum from John B. Thompson, Attorney

Memorandum from Brian Fahling, Attorney

All these documents are available online at: www.TerrisFight.org

Judge Greer ordered that Terri Schindler-Schiavo be denied food and
water starting at 2 PM yesterday, October 15. The family continues to
ask Governor Bush to save Terri's life.

A 24-hour vigil for Terri continues to be held in front of the
Woodside Hospice, located at 6774 102nd Avenue N. (near 66th Street N
and 102nd Avenue N) in Pinellas Park, Florida.

"Legal experts from around the country agree that Governor Bush has
the authority to save Terri Schindler-Schiavo's life. We know he has
the power, the question is; does he have the political will."—Randall

Now, back to the article "Terri's On Death Row":


Attorney Richard Thompson, who heads the Thomas More Law Center, a
public-interest law firm in Ann Arbor, Mich., writes that Terri is "a
victim of abuse and neglect," and under Florida law, "it is a crime
to abuse or neglect a disabled adult" and to encourage another person
to do so. He wants a full criminal investigation into all aspects of
the case.

An infamous demon who once walked in our midst embraced the concept
of killing the infirmed and needy. The practice is called euthanasia
and the famous one was Adolf Hitler. If we do not learn from history
then, as the saying goes, history will repeat itself. "Nice try
Darrell but your analogy at the beginning of this article isn't the
same thing; Sam could grow into someone special but Terry's better
days are behind her." How do we know that? Could not the same mystery
that struck her down reverse itself? With rehabilitation, which she
has never had, couldn't she have a fighting chance? To stop a
person's life just because they don't conform to our standards puts
us in the same league as Heir Hitler and while we ask how anyone
could have helped him man the death chambers in the concentration
camps we must look in the mirror because they are us.

How strange is it that Florida is the same state that put a law on
the books last month to keep a rock band from allowing a terminally
ill man to kill himself on stage

( http://www.nme.com/news/106358.htm )

yet will allow a full-fledge murder to take place? Very strange
indeed! We owe it to Terry to fight for her life but equally
important is the fact that we owe it to our civilization. If we allow
legalized murder just because someone can not take care of themselves
then how much longer can we expect to exist as a nation? Great
nations have fallen for lesser sins than this! Please don't let it be
lost on any of us that Terri's body is already shutting down and in
mere days she will join "Sam" as another brutal statistic while good
men and women slept. May God have mercy on our souls.
