Judge Refuses to Insert Terri Schiavo’s Feeding Tube
Fox News is reporting that Judge James Whitmore of the US District Court has refused to have Terri Schiavo’s feeding tube reinserted pending the upcoming court case. Whittemore is a Clinton appointee.
An important point to understand here is that the feeding tube need not be inserted. The feeding tube isn’t what is being refused Terri by her husband. Food is. According to Dr. William Hammesfahr, a Nobel Prize nominee close to the case, “They are truly withholding food from a person who is awake, alert, and can eat and swallow.”
“Terri’s not that bad,” Hammesfahr said. “She is like a child with cerebral palsy. She can speak. At least when I saw her, she would speak very slowly. She would sort of form words, she would move her arms and legs at command. She could understand questions in English.”
