Has anyone else been disturbed...
by the Terry Schiavo case? I know at the time it was going on, I was HORRIFIED that they were actually going to starve that poor woman to death and still to this day it bothers me in a sense. I get the fact that people have the right to choose whether to keep their loved ones on the ventilator and such, but this woman was living and breathing on her own, just needed a feeding tube. They decided to remove that tube and starve the woman to death because she was brain dead? Some people are born basically brain dead. Her parents wanted her to stay alive, but her husband didn't? I mean come on! I think if ONE person wanted her to stay alive and was willing to care for her, even if it was a distant cousin, then she should have been kept alive! That is disturbing.
Yes, I'm still disturbed by it too
It was horrifying to me that her husband, who had long since created a new family with another woman, had such a vested interest in carrying out what he claimed to know were her wishes. Her parents were begging for the chance to care for her themselves, and he couldn't let that happen? There was, I believe, a million-dollar life insurance policy at stake.
I'm a nurse and am aware that Terry's medical condition and mode of death are by no means unique. In fact, withdrawal of tube feeds is common practice in the terminal stage of illness. The difference is that Terry's condition wasn't terminal in itself; it was the act of withholding nourishment from her that caused her death.
For the past year I cared for a 3-year-old who was profoundly neurologically impaired from birth. She was verbally unresponsive, fed by GT, and absolutely precious to her family, who had realistically made her DNR months earlier. One night a few weeks ago she went to sleep and didn't wake up the next morning. Her parents and siblings were devastated but said they were comforted by knowing she had lived out the natural course of her life among people who loved her. It struck me again that Terry Schaivo wasn't allowed to live out the natural course of her life because someone else decided it had no quality.
It will always bother me.
You appear to be mentally ill
nuff said.
handicapped and mentally ill
You can call it liberal or socialism or whatever tilts your wheel - but I believe it is our duty as HUMAN BEINGS to help the handicapped and mentally ill. There are some who, due to no fault of their own, are in need of help by our government because by the looks of most complaints I am reading - We The People - are only out for ourselves and screw everybody else. Just exactly what are we paying massive taxes for? If it is not to help my fellow man.......then what is it for? They did everything on the cheap (including outfitting our soldiers in Iraq and Afghanistan) during our last administration - less government so GW and his cronies could steal us blind and walk off with the WH silverware in the last few days of tyranny. God help us all when the food riots start.
Mentally ill and Reaganomics
I, along with most Americans remember when Reagan decided to 'de-institutionalize' the mentally ill; turned them into the streets and when he did so, he made certain that the majority of these unfortunate souls were released into urban neighborhoods (I live in the Bay Area in California) - of course he did not turn them loose in cities like Pleasanton, Walnut Creek, Concord, Orinda and other affluent suburbs, and didn't give a rat's patoot regarding the effect this would have on these already struggling urban neighborhoods, and cared even less about the type of care these institutionalized individuals received (most often than not did NOT receive). Every time I hear that man's name it sickens me..

Mentally ill....? That is quite a bash, friend...
I was trying to be civil but the gloves are off now. You are so far embroiled into the liberal lockstep you don't even know what civil is, and you have demonstrated your own immaturity by this attack.
*I think you and your friends are playground bullies with maturity of a 5-year-old...*
This from someone who supports a so-called adult who let his johnson run his life...and then commit perjury and obstruction of justice to cover it up. Yep, there is a MATURE role model for you and you are following him like the sheeple. Instead of talking about it intelligently (that presupposes you are capable), you whine, snipe, and run.
You are welcome to any opinion you have about the *far right* Republican party, conservatives, et al. I have an opinion about the *far left* (although I believe that the whole party is so far left there is no more *moderate* left, they have been so effectively silenced). I believe that the Democratic party will finish destroying this country if they stay in power. Bill got a good start, and you, like the good sheeple are, follow blindly. The upper crust of your liberal party could not care LESS about you, walked to power on your shoulders, and intend to keep you oppressed and under their thumb to stay in power. The truth is, the far right Republican party cares more about you than they ever will. Not bashing, an opinion!
*You guys don't play fair.* Boy, THAT is rich! Someone disagrees with you or takes a shot at that tin god Clinton you bow to, and you don't want to have an intelligent debate, you just want the naysayers to go away. It is that kind of blinder vision that lets people like Adolf Hitler take hold and suddenly it is all right to kill six million people. You spewed enough venom here to pretty much prove that point. But the bigger point is this one, and if you have one brain cell left that is not liberally indoctrinated, LISTEN. The far right Republican party, and conservatives, are AMERICANS too! For the love of mike, get a grip and take off that liberal hat for 10 seconds and realize, conservatives are people just like you, have families just like you, pay taxes just like you, and whether you LIKE IT OR NOT, have rights just like you. I cannot believe the tone you are taking. Read your own post! Sheesh. You are acting like these people (myself included) are your mortal enemies. What in the world is the MATTER with you??? This is a posting board, not a battlefield. Good grief!!
Ronnie Reagan, the man who cut all the programs for mentally ill and sm
that is when you started seeing all the homeless people on the streets. During his reign of terror. A horrible president.

U.S. military violated own rules on mentally ill troops...sm
Updated: 10:04 p.m. ET May 13, 2006
HARTFORD, Conn. - U.S. military troops with severe psychological problems have been sent to Iraq or kept in combat, even when superiors have been aware of signs of mental illness, a newspaper reported for Sunday editions.
The Hartford Courant, citing records obtained under the federal Freedom of Information Act and more than 100 interviews of families and military personnel, reported numerous cases in which the military failed to follow its own regulations in screening, treating and evacuating mentally unfit troops from Iraq.
In 1997, Congress ordered the military to assess the mental health of all deploying troops. The newspaper, citing Pentagon statistics, said fewer than 1 in 300 service members were referred to a mental health professional before shipping out for Iraq as of October 2005.
Because leftist extremists are not emotionally or mentally adults
They cannot hold their own in debate, so they throw fits and insults. They throw they pre-programmed leftist talking points that have nothing of substance behind them. They cannot have an adult conversation simply because they are not adults psychologically.
Do you know how mentally sick you are? You sound like a wild woman to me.
