Gov. Bush's order puts Schiavo back on fluids
CLEARWATER - After a day of unprecedented political maneuvering, doctors late Tuesday began giving fluids to Terri Schiavo, the brain-damaged woman whose case has become a national cause for the right-to-life movement.
Appearing gaunt, Mrs. Schiavo was wheeled into Morton Plant Hospital about 7 p.m., strapped to a stretcher and covered to her neck with a sheet. Two police officers followed her to a room where nurses rushed in equipment. Doctors were expected to eventually reinsert the feeding tube that has kept Mrs. Schiavo alive for over 13 years.
**To put it in small bite-sized chunks**
She's been in a vegetative state for 13 years. She's conscious but near-brain-dead. She doesn't have a living will. Her husband has been trying to get her feeding tube removed for 3 years. Finally gets the permission. He gets the Drs to remove the feeding tube. The family rushes in, after losing the legal battle, and sees Jed Bush. Jed pushes the issue through and forces the feeding tube to be placed back in.
~ The husband is living with another woman
~they have a child together
~He's bound to get money for her death
~he's lived this for 13 years
~She has 0% chance of recovery
So...? Toughie, eh?
