Schiavo down to her last hours.

PINELLAS PARK, Fla. (Reuters) - A week after a Florida court halted her feeding, Terri Schiavo was "down to her last hours," her father told reporters, as he ran short of options to prolong the life of the brain-damaged woman.

For the second time this week, U.S. District Judge James Whittemore rejected a request from Bob and Mary Schindler to have Schiavo's feeding tube reconnected, a setback for the parents in a family feud that prompted intervention by the U.S. Congress and Florida Gov. Jeb Bush.

1. Although it could take a couple more weeks before her organs actually stop

working.

Depending on how much body fat she has and various hormonal balances, it could take a few weeks to "die" from non-replenishment of that funky baby formula (or is it closer to plant food) they pipe through those tubes.

4. They said she said"I want", meaning she wants to live.

Couldn't "I want" be "I want to die".

They are really reaching now. Sickening.
