We should Learn from Terri's Death

	Comment: It's really frustrating that most of the mainstream media continues to ignore that the "vegetative state" was NOT and could not be diagnosed in Terri Schiavo's autopsy even though this was admitted by the medical examiner. However, there are some good points made in this article. And note the study that showed 37% of people studied were incorrectly diagnosed as "vegetative." By the way, a couple of weeks ago I cared for a woman who slowly slid into a coma. Most of the doctors and nurses felt that this was probably terminal even for the 53 year old woman. Tests did not help determine why she was unresponsive but it was felt that her cancer had come back. Despite the dire predictions, the family insisted that everything be tried. I really admired this family even though most of my colleagues thought they were being unrealistic and should just "let her go." The woman was sent to another hospital for special tests and lo and behold, they discovered the problem (metabolic) and the woman woke up! Sadly, so many similar stories do not have such a happy ending, and often this is due to the bias of the medical personnel involved. Nancy Valko.

	Terri Schiavo's Death: Not About Who Decides, But What We Decide by Laura Echiavarria April 18, 2006 TERRI SCHINDLER SCHIAVO's death occurred on the anniversary of a 1976 New Jersey Supreme Court decision authorizing the parents of Karen Ann Quinlan to remove her from a respirator so she could "die with dignity"--although she lived for nearly 10 more years. Her father, when asked if he wanted Karen's feeding tube removed, replied, "Oh, no, that's her nourishment."

	Terri Schiavo's Final Hours Fr. Frank Pavone National Director, Priests for Life President, National Pro-life Religious Council You may have seen on the news that I was at Terri Schiavo's bedside during the last 14 hours of her earthly life, right up until five minutes before her death. During that time with Terri, joined by her brother and sister, I expressed your care, concern, and prayers. I told Terri over and over that she had many friends around the country, many people who were praying for her and were on her side. I had also told her the same things during my visits to her in the months before her feeding tube was removed, and am convinced she understood.

	I Want to Live March 25, 2005. It seems like only yesterday that the case of Karen Ann Quinlan inserted the words "right to die" into the vocabulary of every American. As recently as this year, the notion that people have to fight for this right resonated with many moviegoers as a compelling plot point in "Million Dollar Baby."
	Barbarity in America Posted: March 18, 2005 6:38 p.m. Eastern By Rabbi Shmuley Boteach I never believed that I would live in a country that would, in effect, execute a brain-damaged woman who never hurt anyone in her life. The story of Terri Schiavo should outrage every decent American. While our soldiers valiantly fight and die across the sea so complete strangers can enjoy human rights, here at home an American woman who suffered severe brain damage 15 years ago is being subjected to death by dehydration and starvation by order of a judge. Today, her feeding tube was removed.
	Dehydration Nation Fall 2004 By Wesley J. Smith For more than ten years, conscious and unconscious cognitively disabled people who use feeding tubes have been legally dehydrated to death in the United States. This intentional life-ending act—clamping feeding tubes and denying all sustenance—has become so ubiquitous that, generally, little attention is paid.
