Schiavo Death a Failure of Medicine, Law and Culture: CMA Doctor Washington, DC, March 31, 2005 The head of the nation's largest faith-based association of physicians today lamented Terri Schiavo's death as a failure of medicine, law and culture. David Stevens, M.D., Executive Director of the 17,000-member Christian Medical Association, (www.cmdahome.org) said, "Today we grieve, along with Terri's parents and siblings, for a life unnaturally cut short. Terri's death reflects a failure of a medical system that failed to insist on a definitive diagnosis consensus, a legal system that failed to deliver due process, and a culture that failed to distinguish between artificially prolonging life and deliberately ending life. "Removing Terri's tube was done simply to remove a burdensome patient. Reliable neurologists determined that Terri was not in a persistent vegetative state, which means her starvation and dehydration led to a slow and painful death. "If anything remotely positive can come of this tragedy, it will be a fresh awareness of the need for patients to protect themselves by designating a proxy who will stand up for their clear desires in a case of incapacitation." The Christian Medical Association is making available at no cost on its web site (www.cmawashington.org) a guide to end of life health care that includes an advance directive form for patients and their families.

We do not endorse some of their doctrines although we believe they do love YAHUSHUA, also called in Greek JESUS CHRIST. We believe in the rapture, we believe there is a hell eternal, we believe to be absent from the body is to be present with YAHUSHUA, also named in Greek JESUS CHRIST. Seventh-Day Adventists believe the lie of soul sleep. Remember the thief hanging on the cross who, because he believed on Him, was told by YAHUSHUA, "Verily I say unto thee, Today shalt thou be with me in paradise." (Luke 23:43, KJV) We know that Prophecy did not cease with Ellen G. White and Seventh-Day Adventists believe in Ellen G. White as the only prophet for today, though she is dead and what she prophesied did not come to pass. We believe in Keeping the true Sabbath, for it is the 4th commandment, but we don't believe it takes the place of the saving blood of YAHUSHUA (JESUS CHRIST). * * * * * * *
