Terri Schiavo is a Bad Right-To-Die Case for Democrats to Champion
This a very bad case for the Democrats to be trumpeting as a right-to-die case. There are too many suspicious aspects to it. Here are some of them (perhaps you have some to add):
1. She has not received adequate medical treatment (When will those Doctors be investigated? Or when will Woodside Hospice be investigated?). There apparently have been no routine tests such as an MRI given.
2. There has been no rehabilitative effort made during the entire time of her confinement. Outside medical observers indicate therapy could vastly improve her condition. The money received in a settlement ($1.7 million) was supposed to be for her care and treatment. That care and treatment appears to be minimal to the point where she is developing unnecessary bedsores.
3. She is not in a persistent vegetative state. Terri is responsive and attempts to communicate, recognizing different people.
4. Her visitors are closely monitored and restricted, no cameras or videos are allowed. Is someone trying to hide something?
5. There is some question surrounding the cause of her condition and the circumstances attendant thereto. Some medical records indicate the possibility of foul play (domestic violence?)
6. Her husband’s behavior, since he claims to care so much for her, is rather odd given that claim. (Denial of medical treatment for a urinary tract infection. Living with someone and has two children by that someone. Extreme effort to have her die. Others above and below.)
7. For some reason Michael seems to be limiting the medical care Terri receives choosing to spend the money on expensive attorneys that want her dead.
8. Michael will not allow Terri’s parents to take her out of the room for “walks.”
9. Nor will Michael permit Terri to be taken outside to see others.
10. There is no written directive from Terri regarding medical treatment in such a condition. The court is only going on the words of her husband Michael whose interest in this is suspect at best.
11. And now it seems she has uttered a desire to live.
There are more here.
Clearly AP and other media outlets do not want you to know these things. Articles about this case routinely omit these circumstances.
There is one simple solution to this. If Michael would allow independent observers from both sides, some with extensive medical knowledge in this area, accompanied by video cameras, to spend a week with Terri (providing she wasn’t drugged prior to the observations), many of these questions and issues could be resolved.
And if Michael won’t allow it then the court or legislature could require it.
Yet even the value of this option is fading as Terri gets weaker from starvation and dehydration.
Frankly Michael and his attorney are acting very oddly in this particular case. They are clearly trying to hide something.
Andy McCarthy has written a great piece on this case.
I saw it via Michelle Malkin who also has some good takes on the Schiavo situation.
To repeat, this is not a good right-to-die case for the Left to champion. Terri has exposed the Leftists for who they are. They clearly stand against life, liberty, and the pursuit of your happiness.
Regardless of the outcome, Terri has done more good for us as a country than she will ever imagine. Perhaps the Schindlers will tell her that.
If the Left kills Terri, she will not die in vain.
