PINELLAS PARK, Fla., March 23 -- Florida Gov. Jeb Bush again raised the possibility that state officials would intervene in the frantic battle over Terri Schiavo on Wednesday, asserting that the state may have authority to take custody of the brain-damaged woman even though the federal courts have refused to resume her tube-feeding.
A Circuit Court judge here in Pinellas County issued an order preventing the Adult Protective Team of the Florida Department of Children and Families from taking Schiavo from her hospice and reinserting her feeding tube, but the possibility of an appeal or some other move by the state lent a dramatic note to the rapidly moving legal struggle.
Bush based his assertion that Schiavo should be kept alive on what he said was "new information" about her condition gleaned by William P. Cheshire, a neurologist at the Mayo Clinic in Jacksonville, Fla., whom the state asked to evaluate her condition. Cheshire has not formally examined Schiavo, but he did observe her at her bedside and review the videotapes of her appearing to react to her family. Bush said Cheshire determined that Schiavo may be in a "minimally conscious," rather than a "persistent vegetative" state. The distinction is important because recent studies have suggested that patients in minimally conscious states might have some cognitive powers and may have hope of recovery.

Be careful, ivanhoe. If you keep posting all this information, you may be the next to get subpoenaed to serve as an expert witness. If they pull a stunt like subpoenaing a vegatable, who's to say some fanatic from Europe like you won't be next?
You make the same stupid assumption that nemotoad makes.
"Stupid -- and/or people without brains can be killed."
Really?
Why? Mr. reason. Tell me why we must be "intelligent" to be "human"?
Born of Woman. That is the test. If we lose ourselves... the "woman" owns us. She gave us life.
Originally posted by DoctorScribblesThat is a logical error.
SVW, what objections, if any, would you have against having a brain transplant performed on you? Would you be the same person afterwards?
I am not in question.
A damaged human, born of woman is the issue.
By the way... that is the least "forgivable" sin in logic.
Originally posted by DoctorScribblesThat is again an effort to distract from the argument.
Would you agree to swap brains with me?
That is a really cheap effort.
No.
What do you offer that is better than I have?
I will swap you skins. You take my psoriasis infested, two hundred dollar a month beta methasone and steroid creme skin... I take your beautiful skin. How's that?
I thought not.
You are just another run of the mill euro turd without a dream.
Get a life mr redcommie.
Kill somebody. That is your wet dream. So just do it. It will let you off the hook. No longer will you have to have wet dreams of being Stalins chief of police. You will have done a Stalinism all on your own.

Oh. I'm astounded by the wit, insight and originality of your post.
That must be the reason why you get the debates board all to yourself.
The reason I SEEM to have it alone is because nobody has the guts to debate. You for instance. Why is communism a good thing? Name a single case where a million people "benefitted" from it. And don't say "china". Even a doofus like you might have noticed that they now employ "Slave Capitalism" as their mantra to success.
