One thing I can't stand about you right-wing nutbags is your perfect
willingness to twist facts and ignore scientific evidence whenever and
wherever it suits your needs.
As any competent internist would be more than happy to tell you is that
this sort of fracture response is a relatively common
osteoporosis-mediated response in comatose patients and is often a
result of prolonged tetanus (severe involuntary muscle contractions)
caused by electrolyte imbalance. I would point out that an electrolyte
imbalance is exactly what put this person in a vegetative coma to begin
with.
This nonsense is being propagated, purely, solely and only for
political gain, by the republican conservatives that are running our
country all to score more votes from the right-to-life hard-right
religious base.
This sad and painful nonsense is being orchestrated by George Bush and
his cohorts who, while he was Governor of Texas facilitated a bill
allowing for-profit hospitals to discontinue feeding, for comatose
patients who were indigent, broke, or whose health insurance had run
out - even against family wishes.
Bush is a callous and uncaring politician who works for the
uber-wealthy money changers who have polluted god's temple and who
personally doesn't give a rat's ass about the common working family
struggling to put bread on the table. Bush is nothing more than a
hypocrite who will surely burn in hell for his crimes. "it is easier
for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to
enter the gates of heaven".
Bush's cuts to medicare would ensure that people like Terri would
never even get 3 months of care much less for 14 years! In addition his
proposal to limit malpractice claims would mean that no one would be
able to claim the type of money that has kept Terri under 24-7 care for
the past 14 years. Terri is being made to needlessly suffer for nothing
more that cheap political shots to gather more republican votes. If she
wasn't famous and if her family hadn't been adopted by the
well-funded right-to-life coalition and if the republicans didn't
think they could score some votes, Terri would have been allowed to
pass on peacefully and gracefully a long time ago.
