The article, "Lawmakers
Tackle Right-to-Die Debate" by the Associated Press contains a
photograph of Michael Schiavo and Terri Schindler Schiavo which was taken years
ago. The positioning of Terri's head reveals that she most certainly could
swallow her saliva. If Terri could not successfully handle her saliva, she would
have been in trouble in this
slightly-reclining
position.
Terri can swallow
saliva presently as well because she does not drool.
This
indicates that she is a very good candidate to be weaned off the gastric tube.
Dr.
Hammesfahr revealed on his Interview with Ron Panzer that Terri was placed on a gastric tube for the convenience
of the nursing staff. Since the nurses were told they would lose their jobs if
they did not obey Michael Schiavo's orders, it is certain that Michael told them
to place Terri on a feeding tube. [Carla
Iyer did lose her job after she reported to the police the medically
dangerous state in which she found Terri right after Michael visited her. Read
Carla
Iyer's Sworn Affidavit.]
The insertion of the feeding tube provided the very pretext with
which he is using to try to end her life. It is Michael Schiavo, not
Terri, who needs the feeding tube.
Carla Iyer, RN revealed that she gave Terri soft
foods on occasion while caring for her years ago, but this was done in a furtive
manner due to Michael's unquestionably illegal but court-protected demands that she not receive therapy of any
kind. [Why is Pinellas Country Court system protecting Michael while he breaks
the law? See: Scientology
and Terri Schindler Schiavo: The Death Connection]
If Terri is
not presently able to handle soft foods, then the fault lies entirely with
Florida circuit court Judge Greer and
all the other accessories
to Michael
Schiavo's crimes of defying laws and preventing Terri from receiving
therapy--which includes speech and swallow therapy:
The Americans
with Disabilities Act (ADA), 42 U.S.C.
Sections 12101 provides that necessary and appropriate
rehabilitation services and physical/motor skill therapy may not be denied a
substantially disabled patient in the United States of America.
Cf 28 CFR, Ch 1, Subpart B, Sect
35.130 States "Nothing in the Act or this part authorizes the
representative or guardian of an individual with a disability to decline food,
water, medical treatment, or medical services for that individual."
FS § 744.474 (2)
requires that the guardian protect the rights of the ward, provide for her
health and safety, properly manage her financial resources and
help
her regain her abilities to the maximum extent possible.
(Quote source: Very
Good Reasons to Remove Michael Schiavo and Open a Criminal Investigation)
With the
therapy Florida law grants but Circuit Court Judge Greer denies, Terri would be
easily weaned from the tube Michael adamantly insists she would not want to live
with.
Why is Michael's solution
to the tube feeding—that he authorized and that has caused Terri to regress—death rather than therapy?
Denying
Terri therapy and putting her to death would effectively prevent her from
revealing the reason she was found face down on the floor clutching her neck.
This
solution is not legally valid. But the Circuit Court Judge Greer is attempting
to validate a non-legal solution. The illegal rulings of this rogue court can be and will be overthrown if enough people demand that the laws drawn up by individuals
they voted into office, be obeyed. A judge's illegal rulings have weight only if people in higher positions of authority agree to collude with such lawlessness.
Will Governor Jeb Bush continue to consent to Judge Greer's lawless
withhold-therapy-in- favor-of-euthanasia agenda or uphold Florida law?

Florida law prohibits Michael from
killing Terri instead of helping her. It is up to us to make sure that Governor
Bush knows that we know the courts have no right to defy the law and deny
a disabled woman therapy in order to have a pretext with which to kill her. Purposely
causing Terri to regress by having a gastric tube inserted and
then using that tube as an excuse to kill her is not only
unconscionable, it is unlawful.
