A Terri Schiavo update

In an article in today's P-I, "Lawyers for the parents of Terri Schiavo promised to begin another flurry of legal activity next week after a judge said removal of the brain-damaged woman's feeding tube can take place in three weeks.

Circuit Judge George Greer ruled Friday that Terri Schiavo's husband, Michael, can stop her tube feedings on March 18 at 1 p.m., allowing him to carry out what he says were his wife's wishes not to be kept alive artificially.

The decision came on the 15th anniversary of Terri Schiavo's collapse, when a chemical imbalance caused her heart to temporarily stop beating and left her severely brain damaged."

Three weeks until 'legal euthanasia' is carried out. That's also three weeks for Terri's family to go through appeals to try to get the 'legal euthanasia' stopped. I pray that this will be enough time for the appeals to be made, and that the appelate court sides with her family in this matter. If they do not grant a stay, I fear where that will lead this nation of ours, as I stated in this previous post.

Again, I encourage anyone who has the means to do so, to contribute whatever they can to this fight for Terri's life. The link/mailing address to do so are listed here.
