Schiavo Dies 13 Days After Tube Removed

My Way News: "The parents tried to have Michael Schiavo removed as his wife's guardian because he lives with another woman and has two children with her. Michael Schiavo refused to divorce his wife, saying he feared the Schindlers would ignore her desire to die." All options were pursued. The problem is we have a culture of death in this nation. If there is any question, kill them.

Canadian seal cull sparks protests

Canadian seal cull sparks protests - Yahoo! UK & Ireland News: "Thousands of seal hunters armed with clubs, rifles and spears are taking part in one of Canada's biggest ever culls. The hunt is expected to bring poor coastal communities millions of dollars but has been condemned by animal rights activists as barbaric. More than 320,000 harp seals are expected to be slaughtered by the end of the cull on May 15. The controversial hunt - target of protests since the 1960s - traditionally begins about two weeks after the seal pups are born and their fur changes from white to grey. Animal rights activists say the pups are clubbed to death and often skinned alive, but sealers and government officials who monitor the hunt insist the pups die instantly under strict guidelines. Regulations require that hunters ensure their prey is dead before moving on. Many countries, including the US, ban imports of seal products. But the Canadian government said the hunt brought badly needed income to its coastal communities, which earned about �7.2 million last year, primarily from pelt sales to Norway, Denmark and China. Canada's Department of Fisheries and Oceans said the country's seal population was 'healthy and abundant,' and noted there were an estimated 5 million harp seals, nearly the highest level ever recorded and almost triple what it was in the 1970s. But a report by the International Fund for Animal Welfare warned that the cull will damage the marine mammal population. IFAW spokesman AJ Cady said: 'It's not about the price. What's a seal pup worth? It's worth more than a few dollars for a pelt and the price for level of suffering is just not acceptable. 'Just today, we found a seal pup that was struck and lost. It was clubbed and escaped and died under the ice.'" And this is where all the liberal want to go? I've heard a seal bashing club is issued to each new citizen.

Schiavo Dies After Feeding Tube Removed

My Way News: "Brother Paul O'Donnell, an adviser to Schiavo's parents, Bob and Mary Schindler, said the parents and their two other children 'were denied access at the moment of her death. They've been requesting, as you know, for the last hour to try to be in there and they were denied access by Michael Schiavo. They are in there now, praying at her bedside.'" Is it humanly possible for someone to be more evil? After everything, Mr. Shiavo denies Terri's own parents to be by her bedside at the moment of death. No, I don't think a man could be more evil.

Court to Weigh Schiavo Emergency Motion

My Way News: "PINELLAS PARK, Fla. (AP) - A federal appeals court agreed to consider an emergency bid by Terri Schiavo's parents for a new hearing on whether to reconnect her feeding tube, raising their fading hopes of keeping the severely brain-damaged woman alive." ... "Dr. Sean Morrison, a professor of palliative medicine at the Mount Sinai School of Medicine in New York, said it's hard to predict what would happen if the tube were reinserted because it's highly unusual to do that after life-prolonging treatments have been stopped. "He said that if her kidneys have already shut down, reinserting the tube at this point might prolong her life by just hours or days. However, it could also hasten her death, Morrison said, because it would supply fluids to a body that can no longer get rid of them. "The resulting fluid buildup could essentially drown Schiavo, and she could die gasping and choking, he said. "Morrison said Schiavo would have no awareness of this because of her persistent vegetative state, but reinserting the tube might 'transform a peaceful death into one that can be very distressing for families and friends to witness.'" If starvation was so peaceful and euphoric then why did they give her a morphine drip? I know why, because Terri was moaning from... yes, the PAIN. So, we should be under the opinion now that because she's gone through so much already (but no suffering mind you) it would be cruel to try and save her life. What's cruel is a judge (and those that agree with him) who thinks he has the power to take innocent life without any oversight.

I could just imagine this happening to Terri Shiavo under a democrat president, except it wouldn't had been to save her. I'm sure if Clinton and Reno knew of this case back in the 90's they wouldn't had thought twice about going in guns blazing to make sure that feed tube was ripped from Terri.

A Society Gone Mad

A Society Gone Mad: "With the recent awakening of a Kansas woman from a 20-year coma, who is to say what medical science may be able to do for Terry Schiavo in months or years to come? No one killed Christopher Reeve when he no longer had use of his limbs. With no evidence that Terry would want to end her life, her parents willing to assume responsibility for her care and let Michael Schiavo walk away, why must she die? The more important question is why our government and our society would ever let it happen." Exactly. This whole case is absolutely absurd. If truly 60% or more of Americans would choose to STARVE a person to death then I agree, we've gone mad. I pray for Terry and her parents.
