George Felos just had his face in front of the cameras and said " ...she [Terri Schiavo] looks very calm, very relaxed, very peaceful." This is based on his visit to her execution chamber today.
Well, George, if you were as loaded up on morphine and anti-seizure medications as Terri is, you would look very calm, very relaxed, very peaceful too!
One question, Georgie: Was Terri screaming in her head "Why am I still here"? For those of you that know nothing about the book Felos wrote ("Litigation as Spiritual Practice") here is a small sample:
"As I continued to stay beside Mrs. Browning at her nursing home bed, I felt my mind relax and my weight sink into the ground. I began to feel light-headed as I became more reposed. Although feeling like I could drift into sleep, I also experienced a sense of heightened awareness.
"As Mrs. Browning lay motionless before my gaze, I suddenly heard a loud, deep moan and scream and wondered if the nursing home personnel heard it and would respond to the unfortunate resident. In the next moment, as this cry of pain and torment continued, I realized it was Mrs. Browning.
"I felt the mid-section of my body open and noticed a strange quality to the light in the room. I sensed her soul in agony. As she screamed I heard her say, in confusion, ‘Why am I still here … Why am I here?’ My soul touched hers and in some way I communicated that she was still locked in her body. I promised I would do everything in my power to gain the release her soul cried for. With that the screaming immediately stopped. I felt like I was back in my head again, the room resumed its normal appearance, and Mrs. Browning, as she had throughout this experience, lay silent (P73)."
