Thanks for visiting NIF - now leave something behind ...
Dude,
She already dead. Let her die in peace.
Your too kind to these little Eichmanns on the left. More red meat for compassionate life worshippers at the link noted.
Rusty - I actually felt that way at one point, until actually doing some research. There is just way too much unresolved here - legal discrepancies, medical tests not performed / incomplete evaluations, Mikey's ulterior motives, and possible uptimate rresponsibility for putting her in her current condition. Bottom line - She isn't dead. She breathes and her heart beats. She is innocent of crime and therefore I cannot support a 'death sentence' for her.
Hahahha, thanks Mr. North.

In Fact, Rusty - Cao says it much better than I do :
...
I just think it's amazing that people are quoting Dr. Cranford, the Doctor of death as a qualified expert on PVS. That guy could find PVS in just about anyone--he's on a mission to kill people.
Judge Greer was obviously impressed by Cranford’s résumé: Cranford travels throughout the country testifying in cases involving PVS and brain impairment. He is widely recognized by courts as an expert in these issues, and in some circles is considered “the” expert on PVS. His clinical judgment has carried the day in many cases, so it is relevant to examine the manner in which he arrived at his judgment in Terri’s case. But before that, one needs to know a little about Cranford’s background and perspective: Dr. Ronald Cranford is one of the most outspoken advocates of the “right to die” movement and of physician-assisted suicide in the U.S. today.
In published articles, including a 1997 op-ed in the Minneapolis–St. Paul Star Tribune, he has advocated the starvation of Alzheimer’s patients. He has described PVS patients as indistinguishable from other forms of animal life.
He has said that PVS patients and others with brain impairment lack personhood and should have no constitutional rights. Perusing the case literature and articles surrounding the “right to die” and PVS, one will see Dr. Cranford’s name surface again and again. In almost every case, he is the one claiming PVS, and advocating the cessation of nutrition and hydration.
In the cases of Paul Brophy, Nancy Jobes, Nancy Cruzan, and Christine Busalucci, Cranford was the doctor behind the efforts to end their lives. Each of these people was brain-damaged but not dying; nonetheless, he advocated death for all, by dehydration and starvation. Nancy Cruzan did not even require a feeding tube: She could be spoon-fed. But Cranford advocated denying even that, saying that even spoon-feeding constituted “medical treatment” that could be licitly withdrawn.
In cases where other doctors don’t see it, Dr. Cranford seems to have a knack for finding PVS. Cranford also diagnosed Robert Wendland as PVS. He did so in spite of the fact that Wendland could pick up specifically colored pegs or blocks and hand them to a therapy assistant on request. He did so in spite of the fact that Wendland could operate and maneuver an ordinary wheelchair with his left hand and foot, and an electric wheelchair with a joystick, of the kind that many disabled persons (most famously Dr. Stephen Hawking) use. Dr. Cranford dismissed these abilities as meaningless. Fortunately for Wendland, the California supreme court was not persuaded by Cranford’s assessment.
Almost 50 neurologists all say the same thing: Terri should be reevaluated, Terri should be reexamined, and there are grave doubts as to the accuracy of Terri’s diagnosis of PVS. All of these neurologists are board-certified; a number of them are fellows of the prestigious American Academy of Neurolog
What is with Clinton and her attack on the electoral process?
Ok...you r right TJ. I have done my research into what is wrong with Terri and I agree more test should be done. I also agree people should not die by dehydration and starvation. That my friend is cruel.
I have nothing to say on the electroal process. I do not vote.
Welcome back to the light side, Rusty - BTW we need to get the crew back together sometime! Maybe Aaron can through a BBQ?
And damn - you should vote. Everyone should; atleast everyone who is legally able to. Contrary to what "Hillary Dean" is shooting for! (Hi Gindy!)
/TJ
That is great idea TJ for us. Maybe not for Aaron .... to many of his lady friends would want to come over and that would be bad for Aaron. But fun for us. 
He has already double booked a couple of times that I know of.
I think he is planning on bbq for this year on his bday.
I know he need help setting up the server for games. That i would win in.
Doh, double-booking bad ... well, except for the spectators (like you said).
Your chance of winning is about as good as your chance of properly completing a sentence, in English, without using that CD I got you ... ;P

And now the ACLU is involved. Makes me sick!
