Appeals court: Terri Schiavo parents cannot intervene - Page 65 - Big Big Forums

She was able to breath on her own. She only needed a feeding tube to stay alive.

Yes, I know what a good nursing home costs. My mother was in two different ones until she died. She paid the nursing home from her own account or my sister did. I believe Terri's parents were properous so who says they would not have paid? Going to court and paying lawyers took lots of money that should have gone to Terri so why did the husband put them through that?

You think she should have died? Then tell that to the thousands and thousands of people in care homes right now who would die if they aren't taken care of. They have Alzheimer's and dementia like my mother. They do not know where they are or even who they are but we take care of them because God told us to take care of them.

What you do to the least of these you do to Me. It was in God's hands when she should die. She wasn't in pain, she was only a pain to other people, like her husband.

He didn't take them to court, they took him. And having alzheimer's and dementia have it a world better than she did.

Departed this Earth February 25th 1990. Huh?

Departed this earth in 1990. That shows what he thought of her after she was incapasitated. Just a body without a soul to him. Just sick.

And Y if you think alzheimer's and dementia patients have it so cushy why don't you volunteer at a care home and see how they live? NO WAIT, you may start a petition to have them all euthanised.

Thats all she was Janelle a body without a soul...helloooooo. How is that sick? Unreal, her soul was with the Lord, you admit that just can't face the fact that he didn't put her in that condition and that the results showed she was already brain dead. Sometimes I feel like its beating a dead horse around here.

I would trust Adam 100% to care for my mother if (God forbid) she developed dementia or altz. Your comment wasn't fair but was very disrespectful to Adam.

"And having alzheimer's and dementia have it a world better than she did".
================================================== ========
This shows Adam has never been around Alzeheimer's patients. I was telling him maybe he never should cause he may get the wrong idea about them.

If brain damaged people's souls are in heaven then we have lots of people walking this earth with their souls in heaven. God takes the soul when the person stops breathing and their heart stops.

My mother had a stroke when I saw her in the hospital she was probably brain dead or near it. I never stopped seeing her as my mother with all the rights of a human. If she had come out of it and had been worse off than she was before you can be sure I would still see her as my mother and still visit her. Like I said one woman in the carehome only slept and ate. No one took her food away and they took very good care of her. She had no quality of life but she still had a life. Only God can stop her heart and knnow when she should come to be with Him.

Maybe He is trying to teach us how to treat others who are not as strong as we are.

I mean no disrespect what so ever to your Mother (God rest her soul), but this isn't about her, Your mother lived a full live and was a like 92 (if I am not mistaken), thats a huge difference from Terri. Your mother didn't have a feeding tube right? You ise to take her to like Wendy's and such, correct? The 2 very different "cases" are non-comparable. Regardless of how you or I look at it, once a brain is "flatlined" legally they are considered DEAD, it doesn't matter how many organs you have that work. Once your are dead and I mean the second you are dead, the Lord (God willing) takes your soul. Ashes to Ashes.

Wow my BBS is looking mesed up..is anyone else having this problem?

Anyway when I said that Alt patients have it a world better than Terri I was refering to how Alzeheimer's patients can actually communitcate witht he rest of the world, unlike Terri. Alzeheimer's patients aren't generally in a vegetative state, unlike Terri. There is now a way to actually help prevent the onset of Alzeheimer's early on in life, unlikeTerri. Alzeheimer's is a brain disease that causes slight damage. Terri was BRAIN DEAD. No function, none, that means that the lights are on but no one is home. It's like owning a PC with the memory wiped; you can turn it on but it won't function. This woman lacked all the basic functions that made who she was. No commnunication, no comprehension of surroundings (Hell she didn't know if she was on foot or on horseback.) I know it is diffulct to envision but that is the way it is. And how do we know this? Because it is not possible to function even on a basic level with the type of brain injury she had. Unlike Alzeheimer's patients who can live relatively productive lives. I bet if Terri whad a choice (that is if she had a chioce and even knew what a choice was) she'd choose Alzeheimer's over being confined to a useless body, blind, and non functioning for 15 years. Remember if you want to have the true Terri ecperience then put duct tape over your eyes and mouth (leave a hole for a straw to take in nutrition) and live in a straight jacket in a bed, while catheterized for 15 years. You wouldn't last the day.

You really do need to go to a nursing home and volunteer to work with Alzeheimer's patients.

Working in the secure unit was scary for me at first, but after a while I got used to it all.

I'd try to describe them to you, but not all of them will try to choke you, or walk around with a t-shirt and no pants (at all) as if they are wearing the emperor's new clothes.

I was just a housekeeper and I remember running into rooms and pulling the cart in front of the door, I was so afraid of them. They all turned out to be pretty harmless and I did get used to it, but I still would rather be like Terri, than have Alzeheimer's.

Maybe you should go check it out and then come back when you know what you are talking about.
