WHY WAS TERRI TAKEN TO THE HOSPITAL WHERE MICHAEL WORKS?
SO SHE COULD BE TAKEN BACK TO HOSPICE.

Hospice is for TERMINAL patients. This is where Terri's been for over 3YEARS.
HOSPICE IS FOR DYING PATIENTS WITH LESS THAN 6 MONTHS. WHY IS
TERRI NOT BACK AT THE HOSPITAL FOR THE LIVING? MICHAEL HAS BEEN
TRYING TO KILL HER FOR ALL THESE YEARS. MICHAEL'S LAWYER STILL
HAS CONTROL OVER THE HOSPICE HOSPITAL AND THIS STORY WILL NOT
END UNTIL TERRI IS DEAD. NURSES HAVE SWORN UNDER OATH THAT AT
LEAST 5 TIMES MICHAEL HAS LEFT TERRI'S ROOM AND WHEN THEY WENT
BACK INTO HER ROOM, TERRI WAS SHAKING AND SWEATING. TERRI'S
INSULIN WAS SO LOW IT DIDN'T REGISTER. THAT COULD CAUSE AN INSULIN
COMA. DEATH.

WE WERE LED TO BELIEVE TERRI WOULD NOT BE RETURNED TO THE
DEATH MILL OF HOSPICE. WE MUST SPEAK OUT AGAIN TO GET MICHAEL
REMOVED AND GIVE TERRI BACK TO HER PARENTS. IF TERRI STAYS AT
HOSPICE, MICHAEL AND HIS LAWYER CAN DO ANYTHING THEY WANT TO
TERRI AND TERRI WILL NOT BE PROTECTED AND TERRI'S MOTHER AND
FATHER WILL NOT BE ABLE TO VISIT TERRI UNLESS MICHAEL SAYS SO.
THERE SHOULD BE ARMED GUARDS AROUND TERRI AT A REGULAR
HOSPITAL AND REHAB SHOULD BE STARTED ASAP. THERE WILL NOT BE
REHAB AT HOSPICE UNDER MICHAEL AND HIS LAWYER AS THEY WANT
HER DEAD, DEAD, DEAD. PERIOD. END OF STORY. ALL GONE.
GIVE HER TO HER PARENTS WHO LOVE HER.

AAPS Doctors: Schindler-Schiavo is Not a 'Death with Dignity' Issue

WASHINGTON, Oct. 22 /U.S. Newswire/ -- The Association of American Physicians and Surgeons (AAPS) issued this statement from Jane M. Orient, M.D., in response to the emergency action of the Florida legislature to reinstate feeding and hydration of Terri Schindler-Schiavo:

"Terri Schindler-Schiavo has won a temporary stay from execution by a method too cruel to be used for convicted criminals. And yet her husband's attorney is trying to spin it into a 'death with dignity issue' with his comments on Tuesday.

"He says it's cruel to begin rehydration. The opposite is true -- dehydration is a cruel, painful death. It is unconscionable that the state ordered removal of her feeding tube in the first place -- it's nothing less than state-sponsored euthanasia.

"She is not dependent on advanced medical interventions. Nothing is mechanically pumping her blood, or forcing oxygen into her lungs. She is simply being fed through a gastrostomy tube. Would we allow a retarded child to be starved to death?

"Some physicians believe that Terri could be rehabilitated to some extent, at least so that she could swallow oral feedings and eliminate the need for the tube. She should be allowed to try, but so far her husband has blocked every attempt to see whether she can swallow. Doctors have offered pro bono treatment, if money is the barrier for her husband.

"Although severely disabled, some believe that she does have the capacity to communicate a desire to live. The husband has obstructed efforts at rehabilitation or independent assessments of his wife's true state.

"Where are the 'compassionate end-of-life' groups such as the Robert Wood Johnson 'Last Acts' initiative, and why aren't they weighing in on this?

"The ethical question for her nurses and physicians is whether they will cooperate in carrying out a death warrant.

"And the ethical question for all of us is whether we will allow the state to obstruct the efforts of people who want to provide medical care to a patient who wants to receive it.

"If we go down that path, who's to say what treatment the state will prevent you from getting?"
