A public opinion poll determines if this lady is to die or not? How
utterly
ridiculous.

**********

The lady died 15 years ago. Her vegetative body remains behind. Aside
from one doctor who admits he is "religiously motivated", the best
medical minds on the planet all agree that she will never advance
beyond a few involuntary and reflexive movements. The human part of her
brain is dead, and without miraculous, supernatural intervention cannot
be restored.


**********

Question: Do you agree that those on death row should be allowed to
take
their case to the ultimate extent of the law via appeals before they
are put
to death?


*********

Yes. And Terri's parents have always had the same option of appealing
the 19 previous rulings all the way to to Supreme Court, just like a
convicted murderer.

Not true.



As in the case of Terri S, the Supreme Court may or may not decide to
even consider the convicted person's arguments. After examining the
judicial records in the Terri S case, the Supremes have elected not to
hear it.

When a convicted murderer appeals to the SC, there are rare cases where
a person is actually discovered to be "not guilty" (sometimes even
innocent) and it is best to err on the side of life if there is a
question.

In the case of the poor, brain dead woman there is *no* question. It is
medically impossible for her to regain even the most minimal human
existence. No wonder most people (who can do so) state they would
rather die than hang on for year after year as a vegetable.


According to Dr. Baden it is possible that Terri was physically abused by
her husband causing her present condition:

Without the ability to conduct an autopsy (which will not be permitted based
on a judicial order) there is no way to investigate this allegation.

According to several doctors, including Dr. William Hammesfahr, there is
still a chance of rehabilitation:

What is the hurry in killing her? Why not let all avenues be explored,
especially since the allegations of Michael Shiavo's abuse causing her
condition.

We give that right to those on death row. Why not Terri?

Oh yeah. That's a good one. I believe everything in Newsmax.

The far more likely answer is that she caused her own demise through her
eating disorder.

Good detectives normally look at the most obvious clues for answers.
Not the case at Newsmax, where the political agenda overrules logic.
