Contact Florida House Speaker Allan Bense

House Speaker Allan Bense would like the best legal minds to look at the issue of Terri Schiavo. Wouldn't we all.

I think it stands to reason that it is clearly NOT Judge Greer as issue after issue is ignored or set aside by the court. Can we actually base an 'end of life wish' on hearsay? Can anyone explain why Terri is not receiving standard rehabilitation, if not to advance her chance of eating but to prevent muscle contractures or even tooth decay? Can anyone give me a valid reason as to why it is mandatory that Terri be cremated after her death? No pictures released until after her death? She can't be taken to her parents home? God help us, those people may try to feed her? What if she can swallow? Will there be a court order directing everyone to withhold all meals from her and not just the feeding tube? Does Judge Greer think that we will begin to hold vigils at her gravesite if her parents are permitted to bury her? Why no autopsy? To end this judicial circus once and for all? Really? Could it be that it would bring into sharp focus the judicial missteps in this "right to privacy" case? The fact that her collapse may have been caused by trauma, never investigated?

I would think that since a brain-damaged woman's life, and potentially, all disabled individuals lives may depend on this legislation being passed, contacting the courthouse immediately is in order, since the Speaker is not inclined to rush anything through. How can he sanction her death sentence and then review the facts? She needs rehabilitation NOW. She needs to be under the care and protection of her family. Not in a hospice facility under the control of a guardian who has spent more time and effort trying to extinguish her life than trying meaningful therapy to support her life. All life is sacred. Even those whose quality can be discounted or whose worth dismissed. She is loved. Let her experience it without the threat of enforced starvation at her door.
