Terri Schiavo Revisited: Woodside Hospice 3.27.05

On Easter Sunday 2005, nine days after Terri Schiavo's feeding tube was removed and four days before she died, I took a video camera down to the Woodside Hospice in Pinellas Park, Florida to talk to people about what was going on. These are some of the people I met...

I spoke with both sides on the debate, including the wheelchair-bound activists. The video speaks for itself.

Yes you heard her talk - except the autopsy revealed irreversible damage and also the doctors determined that her "moans" were an automatic response.

But hey - why trust science? Maybe it's you who should know what you're talking about before you make posts.

They starved and dehydrated a human being to death. Thirteen days! There was an order that no attempt to feed her or give her even a taste of water. Shame on anyone who would call this public execution "dying with dignity."

I am surprized since dead people don't bring in a daily rate

to be in a nursing home bed.

@wawbwc This shocking about Nursing Homes and A Starvation Death for 14 days if far worse then euthanasia poision or any death sentence they give convicted murders on death row leathal injection painless going to sleep and even the awful electric chair lasts a half hour of torture instead of 14 Days Of Starvation and Pain Torture for the Crime Of Being Disabled.

disabilities 5:03 , LET TERRI LIVE

I hope I get to die with more dignity than this poor woman. Religious zealots made a mockery of her death.

Early bird DIDN'T get the worm, Kombatrock. Like AP, who misreported crowd size, (over 300 that day) as "30" (AP writers submit stories BEFORE events, now...)in THEIR lame accounts, YOU shot early a.m., DIDN'T show or interview wheelchair-bound disabled people who came later; or show any articulate folks, priests, spokesmen, OR stay 'til mass at end, OR draw out, (not SNIDE) the concerned,or Schindler family; yet spent 50% of vid. w/"COUNTER" demonstrators, of whom I saw NONE in 4 hours there.

[ednorandrewrowe]

Wow. You're really a patsy. Do you realize Michael barred all cameras, snipers were on roof, he stoppedmoney won for rehab even to be used for towel in her contractured hands? I visited Pin. Park & did documentary myself; saw my own family who wanted to save $ and inherit more try to put Grandma out of THEIR misery after stroke, Strong Mem. Hosp., NY, '79, but MY DAD air-ambulanced her to Wisconsin, where with my visits,FOOD, + Nasal Tube, she awoke, sat with us @ dinner, reached for dessert...

I attended--at some personal expense--Easter day in Pin. Park. Will produce a video response with (a.) articulate prolifers without "lol southern accents" (b.) articulate disabled people who were PROMINENT and INTERVIEWED by tent-bound drive-by media, but never RUN nationally (they see euthanasia coming, because WE want to put THEM out of OUR misery, as did Michael Schiavo) and (c.) Some evidence against Michael, still unanswered, poor, simple adulterer, used by hags & warlocks of euthanasia.
