Terri Schiavo Receives Last Rights, Communion Wine (from ATSNN), page 1

"Their hopes fading and legal options exhausted, Terri Schiavo's parents appeared quietly resigned Sunday to watching her die but could claim one Easter victory: The severely brain-damaged woman received a drop of communion wine on her tongue — her only sustenance in nine days — after her husband allowed her to receive the sacrament...

Schiavo's husband and parents have battled for years over whether the 41-year-old woman wanted to live or die. The two sides have given differing opinions of her status. Her parents have said she is declining rapidly and in her last hours. George Felos, an attorney for Schiavo's husband, Michael, argued Saturday that her condition is not yet that grave...

A spokesman for the Schindlers denied a report from David Gibbs III, their lead lawyer, who told CBS's "Face the Nation" Sunday that Schiavo has 'passed where physically she would be able to recover...'"

Almost everyone knows of Terri Shiavo and some of the specifics of her case. Many people think it's outrageous that Terri's feeding tube has been removed. Many think that Jeb's attempt at abusing his power is even more outrageous. But while we bicker and argue here on ATS, with our friends, and elsewhere, we seem to have lost sight of one thing we all can agree on. Terri has been slowly dying for the past ten days (or over the past 15 years, depending on how you see it), while her family is forced to sit by her and watch, impotent to do anything to keep her alive.

I've heard many conflicting things on the news, and I've heard many conflicting things on this board. There are a lot of people who go simply call a lot of other people liars. Is Terri PVS? Is she semi-conscious? What have her doctors said? What have her parents said? What has Michael Schiavo said?

Below is a link to a site containing many affidavits from Terri's various doctors and family members. There is also video documentation of doctors performing tests on Terri. It is not a save Terri website. It does contain legal documents and other facts. I would urge everyone reading this to forget what the media has said about this case and research the medicine, science, laws, and testimonies behind this case.
