First off JIM it has nothing to do with me laying down and just becoming another victim of cancer, I fought but i lost my grandmother and three friends too it, its called realistic, I would rather go tomy goddess than to allow people who think drag them on untill maybe we have a cure, decide if I suffer or not, and beleive me anyone who thinks Chemo is a treat has never felt your blood on fire, has never felt your own horror at the fact the simple act of swallowing a glass of ornge juice makes you want to vomit for two hours after its done. I fought and I won and I went in to remission.
BUT the simple fact remains even if what terry is going through at the hands ofher husband is bad, Politics has no right or place to enter the life or buesness ofmy house, what is decided in my house is my house, to give a politician the right to decide and or makelaws to take the right of choice andcontrol away from the people you have put in charge of your care is both wrong, and Illegal under the constitution which is why the supreme court has refused to get involved not once not twice but 7 times.
They also reconise the fact that every singletime that politics have attempted to enter any type of family dispute it may help one case but the other one hundred cases where the decision is not only needed, it right are hurt, just like with the people who said ohhhh let them drill foroil here or here, and the politicans did stateing that the rights of the people and the sanctity of the land will be protected, then only to find that latter we spend millions of dollars fixing what they screwd up.
Any time politics has become involved in anything that is a family matter, your right to choose is hurt, and if you think they will stp because you have a living will I am willing to bet the life i fought for that will be their next stop, first it will go was he in his right mind when it was riten, then lets define right mind, was he in pain at the time of the decision, yes not right mind,and so and so on, untill the day that politics has complete control of weather you live or die. Extreme case yes but this is one raod that we can go on, and telling me bush is invlved is like saying hey the puppet is doing what we want, so you should follow, sorry i dont follow sheep.
Further more what you keep leaving out.
MITCH STACY
Associated Press
Michael Schiavo decided to reject the offer by California businessman Robert Herring, Schiavo's lawyer, George Felos, said Friday. He had until Monday to make up his mind.
Felos said his client has received similar offers - including one for $10 million - regarding the care to Terri Schiavo, 41, who has been in what court-appointed doctors call a persistent vegetative state since suffering a heart attack 15 years ago.
Michael Schiavo contends he once promised his wife he would not keep her alive by artificial means.
"Michael has said over and over again that this case is not about money for him," Felos said Friday. "It's about carrying out his wife's wishes. There is no amount of money anyone can offer that will cause him to turn his back on his wife."
Even if Michael Schiavo had taken the money, Felos said, there is still a court order requiring removal of the tube next Friday. A judge ordered that the feedings be stopped after finding "clear and convincing" evidence she would not want to be kept alive in her current state.This is sad but the court was shown clear evidence at her choice, so who's choice is to fight it and drag it on.
He added, "The family is heartsick. This is their daughter. This is their loved one. This is their sister. And they are watching her suffer,
in their opinion, a death that she shouldn't have to face."
We all hope that our children will out live us, none of us wish to see people we love pass on to the next world, but this is life, this is human nature. This was her choice, you said for me to leave morality out of it, but that is why we are here, you claim it is the husbands morality that YOU keep attacking, I am not christian therefore my morality is not the same as yours, it is christian groups fighting this case, it is christian groups pushing it forward. I hav taken this to a political level just as they have done.
Moraly if i put mine forward yes my decision would be the same because of this one line. A judge ordered that the feedings be stopped after finding "clear and convincing" evidence she would not want to be kept alive in her current state. I believe in the right to choose your own destiny, the right for you to choose if you live or you die, if you suffer or you rest, that is morality. Politically NO governent has the right to decide what accures in my life or that of my family, should the unthinkable befall them. To say if there is any hope, but who is right in that, a doctor is human subject to the same feelings emotions and beliefs as you, therfore one doctor may look at a patient and see Hope were another see end.
But why money, belief, who knows but the simple fact remains it is their belief and it may ormay not go against yours, or the guardians that you put in charge of your care, and therfore can not decide totally what is right. Yes the family doesn't wish their daughter to die, none would if it was my daughters or tanja, i would weigh what was said and i would look at what tanja has told me, but in the end it should be my decscion not the descion of a polition who gets involvd because they fear political suicide from threats.
I quote one Scene that i will always remember, "Take me to bed old man, Im tired and I miss your arms," Margarete Bonnaville the night of her death spoken to William Bonnaville who knew if she laid down and did not sit up in a chair to sleep, would cause the fluid in her lungs to strangle her. his words with tears in his eyes. " Alright old women they miss you in them." Rest inpeace grandma.
