Update (3/18/05): If you’ve landed here through an Internet search, please see the latest post on Terri Schiavo.
———————————————————————————————–
On March 18, barring a court order to the contrary, Michael Schiavo’s wish will come true. The judge said he’s no longer “comfortable” trying to keep Terri alive. He washes his hands of the whole mess:
The judge wrote that he was no longer comfortable granting delays in the family feud, which has been going on for nearly seven years and has been waged in every level of Florida’s court system. He said the case must end….”The court is no longer comfortable granting stays simply upon the filings of new motions,” Greer wrote. “There will always be ‘new’ issues.” (Source)
Judge Greer’s got better things to do. March Madness must be on the horizon.

Update (10:17 p.m.): Michael Savage is going off. Liberals will hold vigils for murderous thugs on death row, thugs who are receiving the due penalty of their errors, but when an INNOCENT brain-damaged woman whose husband has two kids with another woman and may have put her in this state is facing death by starvation, they’ve got nothing to say. The greatest cause is protecting INNOCENT human life. Where are the feminists? Where are the Mumia Abu-Jamal clowns? (Visit the site of slain Officer Daniel Faulkner to clear the stench.)
What freaks they are, the whole lot of them.
Jody is more hopeful (and calmer) than I am. Please visit her site.
Update II (2/26):
Dr. William Burke, a neurologist in St. Louis describes the process: “A conscious person would feel it [dehydration] just as you and I would. They will go into seizures. Their skin cracks, their tongue cracks, their lips crack. They may have nosebleeds because of the drying of the mucous membranes, and heaving and vomiting might ensue because of the drying out of the stomach lining . . . death by dehydration takes 10 to 14 days. It is an extremely agonizing death.”Dignified? If you did that to your pet dog, you’d be locked up for animal cruelty. (Source)
