Lucidity From A Mummified "Vegetable"

Is it any wonder Big Media is running a blackout on Terri Schiavo's last days and hours? Especially since she retains an awareness of the world around her even in the delirium of advanced starvation and dehydration?

Friar Paul O’Donnell, spiritual adviser to Bob and Mary Schindler, said Florida hospice patient Terri Schiavo - under court order to be starved and dehydrated to death - received a visit from her father, Bob Schindler, and an old girlfriend of hers Sunday night, resulting in an "extraordinary” reaction to the latter.

Identified only as Sherry, the friend, according to an account in the Miami Herald, reminisced about their old times dancing and partying together.

According to the Herald, O’Donnell said Schiavo "raised her hands up and was moving and started making guttural sounds - like she does when she talks to her mother."

"Everyone is willing to write this woman’s obituary except one person and that’s Terri Schiavo," Friar O’Donnell said Sunday after the visit at the Pinellas Park facility.

Oh, yeah, sure, that was just a "reflex action." Uh-huh.

But, hey, why is Mrs. Schiavo being administered morphine? The hospice staff claims it isn't for pain, but to "ease her convulsions." But would a "vegetable" really be aware of either? I'm, you know, just asking.

Besides, what does it matter how she meets her court-ordered demise? She's been officially declared a boneless sack of skin anyway. If her scumbag husband wanted to, he could have Terri's corpse skinned, use the epidermis to craft some handsome lampshades, and have the rest of the remains scattered and splattered wherever veterinary hospitals dispose of animal carcasses, right? Or maybe auction off her organs on eBay? Bone fragments or teeth as souvenier collector's items, perhaps? Heck, since he's having the body cremated, he could sell several dozen little packets of Terri's ashes. I mean, Judge Greer's courthouse must have a gift shop.

What, this is getting too macabre for you? How much more so could it get? At least this way there'd be some honesty from the death cult. Their Orwellian BS is getting really, really annoying.
