It did not make any difference to Terry what mechanism was used to end her body's nominal life. Her brain was so deteriorated that she could not feel the effects of starving anyway.

But, for the record, she died of dehydration.

By what mechanism did Theresa Schiavo die? Postmortem findings, including the state of the body and laboratory testing, showed that she died of marked dehydration.

The state of her fatty tissue, and also the laboratory findings, indicate that she did not starve to death. She died of dehydration.

More from the team who performed the autopsy on Terry Schiavo.

Quote:
The -- again, it's important to remember this is -- persistent vegetative state is a clinical diagnosis. It's not a pathologic diagnosis. The findings of Terri Schiavo are very consistent with persistent vegetative state.

I made the comparison in my report to Karen Ann Quinlan. Karen Ann Quinlan died 10 years after being in a persistent vegetative state. Her brain, Karen Ann Quinlan, weighed more than Terri Schiavo's brain weighed.

The typical things associated with persistent vegetative state are those normal functions of beating heart and breathing and no other types of cognitive function that occurs in the higher portions of the brain.

Schiavo autopsy shows irreversible damage - U.S. News - MSNBC.com
If having a little brain is a crime you should have been arrested long ago.

I never disputed Terri Schiavo's brain health. The whole debate is about starving innocent sick people to death. Sorry you missed the whole point of the debate.

I see you are making crap up as you go along again. You have no clue what Terri Schiavo felt as she slowly starved to death and dehydrated. You are a joke.

Actually, you did Billy. And here's the post where you claimed that she wasn't brain dead.

In fact, you started with claiming that nobody (including CF and yourself) could know if Terry was braindead or not...Then you followed it up with a politician (Frist) claiming Terry wasn't brain dead.

So, within one post, you made TWO contridictory comments as to what you believed her comatose state to be from...One you didn't know, the second that you did because of someone else's claims...

The only one missing any points is yourself Billy. You seem to once again be arguing a point you have little to no information on except your personal opinions and fantasizing.

Republican politician, Bill Frist, did not examine Terry Schiavo. Nor did he perform her autopsy. He did, however, recant that position after seeing the autopsy report.

Here is the report of the people who did perform that autopsy.

No, Bill. That is your shtick.I do, Bill. You are the one who lives in fantasy land. Here are some news pieces on Right to Die measures. Note the Ds next to some names. They stand for Democrat.


Pssst. Cyetano is a Democrat.



.
We are taliking about Florida State Law that starves innocent sick people to death. Try and stay on topic. Do'nt try your bait and switch with me. Show me anywhere it says that if you are braindead you are not sick. just 1 place. Besides your own worthless opinion.

1. Terry didn't starve to death...She dehydrated.

2. CF provided the transcripts that proved she didn't feel anything.

Crying 'your making things up' and 'your a joke' doesn't change the fact of the doctors' autopsey dear.

Oh, they were keeping transcripts of what Terri was saying as she slowly died. Terri said she felt no discomfort. Well I am glad you settled that.

She's the one on topic...It's you who's fantasizing about a situation you know little to nothing about in the first place. You're just wanting to rant away blindly, rather then address the actual facts as usual.

And she has backed up her opinion with verified links to the sources that confirm her position...Unlike you who just throws out random comments with no proof and then ignore when the proof actually contridicts your own position.

At least there's been one advancement in your last couple of responses...You've lost the 'the republicans were responsible' comments. So any advancement from you is an improvement.
