In Pursuit of Mysteries

Nader Loses It

WASHINGTON, March 24 /U.S. Newswire/ — Consumer Advocate Ralph
Nader and Wesley J. Smith, author of the award winning book “Culture of
Death: The Assault on Medical Ethics in America” call upon the Florida
Courts, Governor Jeb Bush and concerned citizens to take any legal
action available to let Terri Schiavo live.

“A profound injustice is being inflicted on Terri Schiavo,” Nader
and Smith asserted today. “Worse, this slow death by dehydration is
being imposed upon her under the color of law, in proceedings in which
every benefit of the doubt-and there are many doubts in this case-has
been given to her death, rather than her continued life.”

Among the many injustices in this case, Nader and Smith point to the following:

The courts not only are refusing her tube feeding, but have ordered
that no attempts be made to provide her water or food by mouth. Terri
swallows her own saliva. Spoon feeding is not medical treatment. “This
outrageous order proves that the courts are not merely permitting
medical treatment to be withheld, it has ordered her to be made dead,”
Nader and Smith assert.
