Terri Schiavo - Page 6

By her faith, she would have wanted last rites and last communion. To deny her that by which she lived and believed is a travesty of justice to her and all those who loved her save her husband who obviously didn't care. Did he have the legal right to pull her tube? Yes. Was it morally right? No. Its a shame that it had to end this way when others where willing to take over her care.

Actually, he did relent and allow her to receive Communion on Easter. I believe that Last Rites were offered at the same time.

He didn't really allow it, it was a court decision and he did not have any option.

Death threats on judge lead to federal charges
Woman also said she'd harm Michael if Terri were to die

https://www.worldnetdaily.com/news/article....RTICLE_ID=43668

Now, I know everyone is charged up over this case, and that there are a lot of emotions running high, but I think this is a bit over-the-top. Yes, it was foolish of this woman to go on a public Internet chat board and make such a statement, but I think it is a bit harsh to press charges in this case. Yes, I also understand that a threat was made against a judge, and with the recent court shootings and judge-related killings, everyone is on alert. No mention was made in the article of whether at least a background check was made on the woman to see if she had a criminal record or violent history. I might be completely out of line here, but I just think this was a rather rash decision.

Terri Schiavo

Well even though I agree with you Malexander regards to the authorities over-reacting, I think the woman deserves a little punishment for being so silly. I mean, with all respect to the sentiments we all have towards the case, to go on an internet forum and start making death threats to a federal judge! and other people knowing of the situation is pretty dumb in my opinion. Experience also have shown that people who make threats like that end up actually carrying them into reality, so we really do not know for sure whether she was "just kidding" or not...what can I say...I am not used to tell people I will kill them if they do not stop doing something I do not see anything funny about it.

Don't get me wrong, I am not saying the woman should have been released with no punishment. A fine and possibly a restraining order, in my opinion, would have been sufficient. I also agree that there is nothing comical about such a threat.

As I was out jogging earlier today, I came across an old man wearing hippie-style clothing and dreadlocks. He called out and got my attention. Not wanting to be impolite, and thinking he may have something insightful to say, I naturally went over and talked to him. Well, I was there for about an hour and a half talking about various things -this guy seemed somewhat paranoid of the government. Some of what the old timer said made a lot of sense. Though, he seemed pretty senile and paranoid, but I'd certainly not dismiss him entirely. Anyway, the Terri Shiavo case came up. This man claims that the Florida judges murdered Terri Shiavo. He said that he had found concrete information on the internet, including 41 affidavits from neural surgeons who stated that Terri Shiavo could be brought out of the 'vegetable' state. I wanted to know if this was true. I figured this would be as good a place as any to get valid information on the subject. So does anyone know much about this?

Of course, I'm reluctant to put much stock in things he said considering that he told me I had to be careful chatting on forums because of spies, and that the book "1984" isn't far from coming true. . .
