Terri still refusing to die

God bless her, the only way she can assert herself against that troika of monsters, Schiavo, Felos, & Greer, is to simply REFUSE TO DIE.

The absolute horror of this situation will stick with me the rest of my life. The American soul has been raped by the three of them, in forcing us to not only watch, but to participate through our government in legally sanctioning it.

But the crtical mistake they are making is in exposing just how evil this starving to death of the incompetent really is, and how often it happens. The goal is, of course, to "normalize it", take it out of the shadows, and make it widely "accepted". Like abortion. But of course, most people aren't that stupid. Whereas some people could be fooled into butchering their own unborn children "because they couldn't see them", it's a lot harder to get someone to go along with the program when they can see that you want to starve their own mother to death right in front of their eyes. On a wide scale, that is indeed the plan. The very elequent Becki Snow who has been doing a sympathetic hunger/water strike with Terri Schiavo (but finally had to break the water strike to save herself) puts it this way:

Now I know this: dehydration is brutal, it's barbaric, and no one should be forced to die this way, in pain. Oooh, Terri doesn't feel pain, you say. Well, even on the off chance that you are wrong about the pain, let us not forget the thousands of people who have died this way in nursing homes and hospices who have happened to be able to feel pain just fine,thank you. Their only crime was, they were old and in the way of a fat inheritance. My new handler, Marcy, watch her own mother died this way after a relative seized her power of attorney, and her story is gruesome beyond words. Her mom died in her arms after 14 days of Hell on Earth, moaning for water. Even though Marcy wanted to care for her mother, and her mother wanted to live, it made no difference. Once the authorities have determined that you need to die, you will die. Terri's is the test case for going legal with this process, since she left no living will, and no one really knows what she wants. It's not just about her - it's about all of us. But no one will stop the process once it starts, ya know; it's painless, ya know, right? The Doctors say so. I guess Doctors are gods now, they are able to read minds and be all right all the time. Sure.

It makes me sick now, all the endless drumbeat by the main stream media that all that went wrong here was that at the age of 26, Terri had left no living will. Can't they see the obvious by now that even if she had, Michael would have burned it and said she hadn't??

=========

My mother went in for a very common surgery about 8 years ago. In the myriad of paperwork they had her signing the day before was a small sheet of paper that said should anything go wrong, the hospital would have the right to starve her to death. No consulting the family, much less sending her home for the family to feed her. My mother was quite roused to anger and blurted out, "I'm not signing that!" The nurse at the desk was totally surprised and befuddled, "But EVERYBODY signs that." My mother replied, "So what! There's no way in HELL I'm signing that!" At which point the nurse went away to, ahem, consult with her supervisors as to what to do. She came back and said, "OK, then, write across it, 'REFUSED TO SIGN', and initial your refusal." My mom: "You're DAMN right."

Terri can't "REFUSE TO SIGN", so she is simply REFUSING TO DIE.

God help her.
