The Terry Schiavo debate: reloaded.

The Schindlers blame Michael for her death and slam U.S. courts for allowing the removal of her feeding tube, equating that with the inhumanity of Nazi Germany

A comparison to the Nazis = credibilty lost!

Have they even noticed yet that all the "ethics" groups have abandoned them now that the media attention (read: $$$) has dried up?

But guys, Bill Frist said she was OK. Bill Frist is a doctor.

Wasn't it Bill Frist who also thought you could get AIDS from a toilet seat or something like that? I remember The Daily Show had some pretty humorous commentary from him, that made him look like he was not very qualified to practice medicine.

I mean in addition to him viewing the video tape of Ms. Schiavo's condition and saying she was okay.

While he was a medical school student, Bill Frist (now a Republican U.S. Senator from Tennessee) performed medical experiments on shelter cats while researching the use of drugs on the mitral valve. By his own account, Frist improperly obtained these cats from Boston animal shelters, falsely telling shelter staff he was adopting the cats as pets. In his 1989 book Transplant, Frist admitted that he killed these cats during medical experiments at Harvard Medical School, as part of his studies.

In his book, Frist explained that he succumbed to the pressure to succeed in a highly competitive medical school. Frist stated that he "treat[ed] them as pets for a few days" before he "cart[ed] them off to the lab to die." He went on to say, "And I was totally schizoid about the entire matter. By day, I was little Billy Frist, the boy who lived on Bowling Avenue in Nashville and had decided to become a doctor because of his gentle father and a dog named Scratchy. By night, I was Dr. William Harrison Frist, future cardiothoracic surgeon, who was not going to let a few sentiments about cute, furry little creatures stand in the way of his career. In short, I was going a little crazy." He went on to describe why he conducted animal experiments: "It can even be beautiful and thrilling work, as I discovered that day in the lab when I first saw the wonderful workings of a dog's heart . . . I spent days and nights on end in the lab, taking the hearts out of cats, dissecting each heart, suspending a strip of tiny muscle that attaches the mitral valve to the inner wall of the cat heart and recording the effects of various medicines I added to the bath surrounding the muscle." "I lost my supply of cats. I only had six weeks to complete my project before I resumed my clinical rotations. Desperate, obsessed with my work, I visited the various animal shelters in the Boston suburbs, collecting cats . . . it was a heinous and dishonest thing to do."

Isn't killing small animals one of the warning signs for serial killers?

yes it is. Son of Sam, Dahmer, Charles Albright, to name a few killed small animals for pleasure before killing humans.

Dr Kill-a-cat should come visit Marion, Ohio where they have an epidemic of feral housecats.

His other quotes are very telling of his mental health as well... very sociopathic. Usually people like him truly have no moral restraint which often makes them CEOs, Senate Majority Leaders or as you pointed out... Serial Killlers. Why? Because they are willing to do anything, hurt or step on anyone or anything to get where they want to go... very disturbing.

We actually have a working theory in our office that anyone higher than the title of directory is morally corrupt on some level. The higher you go up the chain it just becomes more systemic and more noticable.

I think there's a difference between killing small animals for pleasure and doing it for "medical research". I mean, what he did was very wrong, but likening it to somebody who will end up to be a serial killer? Doubtful.

I'm not trying to defend this slimeball, mind you.

Marbus · Post by **Marbus** » April 5, 2006, 3:16 pm

The point though is not that it's just killing small animals for medical research. He HAD the allotted number needed to pass the exams but that wasn't good enough for him, he had to do more to achieve his goal and he didn't mind killing, abet animals at least, to get what he wanted. That is why it's disturbing.
