Terri Schivo.

don’t keep asking me questions if you don’t want my answer.

when did i ask???

pick one…

all questions directed at me in the last 2 pages while talking about this.

LOL… She’s not a vegetable people, she’s a baked potato…

They need to just let the woman go… NOBODY would want to live like that! Although I agree starving her isn’t the right way to do it. Maybe they’ll let Senor Kevorkian outta the pen for one last touch of “death magic” from his fingertips?

And, btw, when she was younger, she definately got the :idhitit: smiley

now i’m not very educated on this subject, i’ve only heard bits and pieces here and there. but i just talked to my grandmother about it when i was over there today and she told me that she heard that a nurse took care of her and that the nurse said she found an insulin(sp) shot in the garbage that he gave her. i just thought i would post this because i believe pewter posted that his wife heard there was a nurse that took care of her and SNS said no there wasnt, but then again if i misunderstood i apologize, not tryin to start an arguement. there is a lot in this thread.

also my grandmothers opinion is just basically that he wants her dead, he has another gf and has 2 kids i believe with her, or was it 2 kids with the woman that we are speaking about, i dunno i cant remember. and before you go about saying my grandmother is just another crazy old lady who doesnt know what she is talking about, she is a retired RN and she presently owns a nursing home( no not in it, owns it haha)

nope I never said there wasn’t a nurse taking care of her. i was refering to no one knows why IF she was being hand fed why they stoped. It could have been due to loss of voluntary motor fuctions totally.

No appology needed and you are right this is a long thread. :slight_smile:

BS your Grand mother is a postal worker too. Ecept she gets a right hand drive golf cart :smiley:

No in all seriousness. If you start getting motives, Morals, and religion involved in this situation the primary subject at hand is going to get clouded.

Facts:

-Once you are married your Husband/Wife has the final say on somthing like this. You are no longer in your parents hands.

-They have taken this to court multiple times and again TODAY a Panel stated that 2-1 they are not going to reinsert the tube due to the husband and others who have heard Terri’s final wishes and the court appointed Doctors who which take niether side said she is a hopless case and she would not want to be kept alive like this.

:slight_smile:

rthank u!

Thank what? he didn’t prove anything. Unless you are thanking him for posting what you were trying to.

Anyways a “nurse found and insulin shot in the garbage that he gave to her”. first did they do a test to find out in fact there was insulin in there? Insuling comes in viles and has to be drawn into a Syringe. Those syringes are called “insulin syuringes” as a gerneric term because everyone knwos what you are talking about when you refer to them. I use Insulin syringes on jenn when I give her monthly allergy shot.

Second did they test the blood on the needle to see if it matched terri? If not how do they know it wasn;t thrown in there by a passer by or a nurse making her rounds from room to room. We do that all the time especially if we are walking buy and the red waste basket is by the door. We’l toss our gloves and shit real quick. Not to mention if he was smart enough to drawn insulin (enough to try and have her drop her blood shugar number below 20) they he should have known to throw the needle away in the needle bin which is required for hazmat disposal.

Third how does the nurse know HE DID IT? Did she witness it? If she did why didn;t she stop him? She has a legal obligation as a nurse to stop shit like that and or call security and have him arrested and then they can easily reverse too much insulin by give an amp of D50 which is dextrose (sugar in a suyrnge that is usually used to bring diabetic pt’s blood sugar levels back up when they have a drop and are un consious and can not take oral glucose)

any other questions on why I think the syringe is all spectulation…

There are so many conspiracy theories about this case,… Though severely brain damaged, she breathes and maintains a heartbeat and blood pressure,But she does need a feeding tube to sustain her life,Its removal would cause her to die by dehydration and starvation …A nd I dont know about many of you but that would be so hard to do ,ok even if she dont understand whats going on,But I know it would kill me to do that to someone I love…She can open her eyes and look at you,does it matter if she understands…Could you really look into there eyes, even someone in veggie state knowing that they are going to die by starvation and dehydration… I just there has to be a more humane way to end her life …If it has to be ended at all…

hi, leslie :slight_smile:

Yes I do agree 100% about there are more humane ways than letting her starve. I have said this multiple times in this thread.

On the other hand IF THIS was her will to not live like this her husband has the authority to make that decision and evidently him and others have provided enough evidence to the courts to let it be.

Its hard to put down a pet also when they are on their last leg. To some people pets are family members, but its all the same, No one or thing should suffer or have a meaning less life. there are entirely too many emotional, finacial, medical resouces that are drained in a situation like this. Some times the hardest thing to do is the right and easest to overcome…

-Peace

PS - Sit down with pewter and teach him to type :finger:

cant the give her like the lethal injection that they use to kill prisoners on death row???

:gives:

as long as something happens and I don’t have to listen to it anymore. I don’t care if it is lethal injection, starvation, drowning, fire, etc… I could really care less right now. She has been comatose for 15 years, I bet she doesn’t care either, she just wants it to be done with. Haven’t any of you listenend to Metallica’s “One” lately?

kick as song especially with the san fancisco orchestra, and the video kicks ass too.

hell ya!!! best Metallica song!!! its there First hit!!!

but i belive she should die quickly…not starving her to death

what’s the difference? pain is not an issue for someone as comatose as she is.

no but allowing it to happen over 10 + days and making family wait that long is unacceptable. Al they have to do is push an overload of potassium and its lights out for good an an high rate of speed. No unessasacry waiting and to dramatic events.

OK

I can understand that.

werd…and did anybody ever see this happen to a family member…gettin starved to death…its the sadest thing…this happend to my great grandmother…the removed the feeding tube…and ur face sinks…ur eyeballs acutally sink into there sockets…and the mouth and tounge swell up…its not a nice site at all…thats why i htink they should do something that will mkae it quick
