Update (3/18/05): If you’ve landed here through an Internet search, please see the latest post on Terri Schiavo.
————————————————————————————————-
Unless a judge intervenes, Michael Schiavo will be allowed to remove his wife’s feeding tube, which will begin the starvation process. I haven’t followed the case over the years, so I have no idea if starvation is the normal method of killing brain-damaged patients. As I wrote in a previous post, I know why the doctors won’t simply shoot her up with a lethal dose of something. That would be an unmistakable murder. Think about “partial birth abortion,” and you’ll see the connection. Where is Jack “The Ripper” Kevorkian when you need him?
Terri Schiavo is scheduled to begin a most inhumane route to death today at 5:00 p.m. today. But she may yet live another week or two after abuse allegations may finally be investigated.
From PennLive.com:
The Department of Children & Families is seeking a 60-day stay on the removal of Terri Schiavo’s feeding tube while it investigates new allegations of abuse and neglect, an attorney for her parents said Thursday.In an 11-page confidential document detailing why the social services agency wants to intervene in the case, the DCF said it needs the time to adequately investigate allegations that the 41-year-woman at the center of a life-or-death legal battle between her husband and parents has been mistreated….
The Schindlers attorneys have included the allegations of abuse and mistreatment in their effort to oust Michael Schiavo as his wife’s guardian. More than two years ago, one of the Schindlers former attorneys told Greer that a 1991 bone scan showing several fractures raised questions about whether Terri Schiavo had been beaten.
Blogger Don Hawthorne has rounded up all the important pieces of information in the ongoing drama.
