Shiavo Bill: OK What's Next????

And the situation continues to unfold..............

* 3/30/05:The case has bounced from Florida to Georgia to the Supreme Court and the cycle has repeated at least 2 times, all the courts ruling against Terri's parents and their request to have her feeding tube attached. Terri is going into her 13th day without it. The Reverend Jesse Jackson has stated the Terri's civil right are being violated.Other nationally known leaders have also expressed this same view. I still believe that a medical and legal definition in regards to this level of disability need to be made so that in the future this issue can be handled more respectfully.

Well now President Bush signed the Shiavo Bill, but a Florida federal judge has decided that Terri's tube should not be reattached. In my earlier blog I stated that this case has turned into an fortunate soap opera and that Congress should have long ago decided to do something. I do not feel that Congress should be involved in any families personal business. However this case will have long lasting decisions about the care of people in a non ambulatory situations. This case affect us ALL now.

If Congress really want to have Michael and Terri Shiavo to "appear" before a Senate Health Committee, then maybe a clear definition about the Right to Life Issue will become clear medically and most important legally. Also in play is Congress intervention into this matter,the power between the government, federal,state court ruling and personal freedom, this is a test case and one to learn from......

We all need to pay attention to what is really going on here
