Starving Terri Schiavo II

There were interesting and informative articles written about the Schiavo case all across the blogosphere this weekend.

Over at Patterico's Pontifications you can learn a lot from the articles on this search page, including elaboration of the idea that Jeb Bush's intervention was analagous to offering clemency to a condemned man.

Xlrq and calblog offer more; and, Media Culpa has started a thread for ideas on how to save Terri.

As an intern at Memorial Sloan Kettering Hospital, twenty years ago, I dealt with many hopelessly terminal patients, many of whom were suffering terribly. One concept that the attending physicians made us understand -- without variability -- was that the object of all our therapeutic decisions, at this point in a patient's life, was to relieve suffering and make the patients comfortable.

We would never have imagined taking out a feeding tube, and it certainly was not in our realm of possible conceptions to take out the feeding tube of a patient who is neither terminal nor suffering.

The concept of intervening to create comfort and peace in one's terminal days, aided by a serious, responsible and moral caregiver has evolved -- or transmogrified--into proactive solutions to problems of long-term care, moderated by an overriding judicial system.

We are at a point of medical and cultural significance.

It would be interesting to hear more physicians weigh in.

Terri Schivo is a human being denied the elementry need of nutrients for survival. We as a Country,claiming to ask God to Bless us are going against His commandment of "Thou Shalt Not Kill". We condemn Hitler, Sadam Hussain,Ben Ladin to name a few, But what about us? May our court officials wake up before its to late.

The people who should be kept from eating are the 200 & something inmates that are sitting in death row living the life of luxury with our tax dollars, someone like Scott Peterson.

But don’t worry, there are lots of charts and automatic calculators available online where you can use Pounds and inches and get to your bmi, and...

A body mass index of 18.5 or less is considered underweight, and normal is between 18.5 & 24.9. From 25 to 29.9 is considered overweight, and a bmi of 30 or greater is considered obese, so...

Lets say that you have two people who are 5’ 6” tall and both weigh 192 Lbs.

On the body mass index, both of their bmi’s would be “31” and both would be considered to be “Obese”.

However...

The problem here is that “Weight” is used to make the calculation, and that’s what throws these numbers out the window, and here’s why...

One person could actually be Obese, and the other could be a very fit body builder and weight lifter who was pure muscles with less than 2% body fat!

And yet, on the BMI scale they would both be considered “Obese”

Ridiculous isn’t it?

Now these two examples are opposite extremes, but I hope you understand the point. A more normal example would be...

Lets say that you decide to join a Gym to lose weight. You work out for months, lose 45 Lbs of fat, and put on 45 Lbs of Muscles.

You have gotten much fitter, and improved your health a great deal, but when you calculate your body mass index... “You’re still Obese”

[weight loss products]

That’s when most people just give up! However...

You may even have reduced your percentage of body fat quite a bit over time, but the bmi will “Not Reveal that Success to You”

What’s wrong with that picture?

First of all, why use a measuring system which won’t even reveal to you, what little Success you are having? It’s hard enough to stay motivated on any weight loss system, without not even being aware of what little success you are having.

Please realize that...

I’m just using the “Gym Example” to make a point, because most of the exercise routines that are done in Gyms are actually very bad and inefficient for burning fat. It’s a lot of hard work, and a lot of sweating for very little results, because...

Most of the exercise routines, which people do in Gyms and on exercise equipment, burn mostly sugar and very little fat. “That’s Right”.
