In a WSJ article I found this appalling: Gov. Bush and the state social services agency filed a petition to take custody of Ms. Schiavo and, presumably, reconnect her feeding tube. It cites new allegations of neglect and challenges the diagnosis of her being in a persistent vegetative state. The request is based on the opinion of a neurologist working for the state who observed Ms. Schiavo at her bedside but did not conduct an examination. The neurologist, William Cheshire of the Mayo Clinic in Jacksonville, is a bioethicist who is also an active member in Christian organizations, including two whose leaders have spoken out against the tube's removal. Ronald Cranford of the University of Minnesota, a neurologist who was among those who made a previous diagnosis of Ms. Schiavo, said "there isn't a reputable, credible neurologist in the world who won't find her in a vegetative state." ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Get Instant Hacker Protection, Virus Detection, Antispam & Personal Firewall. http://www.houseoffusion.com/banners/view.cfm?bannerid=62 Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:5:151543 Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/threads.cfm/5 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:5 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.5 Donations & Support: http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/54
