Jahi McMath Supporters Pressing for Release from Children's Hospital Oakland

The following is an article from the Life & Hope Quarterly update from their Oct. - Dec. 2013 newsletter: Jahi McMath Supporters Pressing for Release from Children's Hospital Oakland PHILADELPHIA, Pa., Dec. 31, 2013 /- Under the direction of the Terri Schiavo Life & Hope Network, numerous organizations and individuals have been working on behalf of Jahi McMath and her family in relative silence for the sake of the sensitivity of her case. At this point, Terri's Network, Life Legal Defense, Angela Clemente & Associates, The Wrongful Death & Injury Institute, New Beginnings and others defending Jahi's life, see that it is now appropriate to step forth publicly and represent the many supporters who have been working tirelessly to obtain Jahi's release from Children's Hospital Oakland and transfer her to a safe place. Jahi McMath has been labeled a "deceased" person. Yet she retains all the functional attributes of a living person, despite her brain injury. This includes a beating heart, circulation and respiration, the ability to metabolize nutition and more. Jahi is a living human being. Together with our team of experts, Terri's Network believes Jahi's case is representative of a very deep problem within the US healthcare system - particularly those issue surrounding the deaths of patients within the confines of hospital corporations, which have a vested financial in discontinuing life. "Every person needs to understand that medical accidents happen every day. Families and individuals must be more aware of the issue of accountability and patient rights. We continue to work toward Jahi's tranfer," stated Bobby Schindler. (content edited for space) Follow us on FACEBOOK! Go to www.lifeandhope.com
