Unless Michael Doesn't Want to Know What She Thinks. If Michael Schiavo is so sure that Terri wants to die why does he refuse to give her speech therapy?
Over and over Terri Schindler Schiavo's parents have asked that Terri be given speech therapy. Terri's parents filed an emergency motion for immediate therapy in October of 2003, asking for 8 weeks of speech and swallow therapy. Michael Schiavo objected and the court sided with him.
In the light of Sarah Scantlin's recovery of her speech after 20 years, why won't Michael Schivo reconsider?
Speech Language Pathologist, Sara Green Mele, M.S. CCC-SLP, swore under oath,
"It is my judgment based on my training and clinical experience working with patients similar to Terri that she would, within a reasonable degree of clinical probability, be able to improve her ability to interact with her environment, communicate with others, and control her environment if she were given appropriate therapy and training as outlined above. These recommendations, in my opinion would greatly improve Terri's quality of life."
Sara Green Mele's complete affidavit is available online at: http://www.earnedmedia.org/mele.htm

Did you know that Michael R. Schiavo considers himself a man of great moral character? Strange things do occur in Pinellas Co., FL, don't they? Pretty soon, this county will be the "crying"stock of the land, but never its "laughingstock." That "honor" is reserved for Palm Beach Co., where they thought they were voting for Gore by voting for Buchanan!

Look at # 7.
Maybe he is, there are lots of golddiggers in the world. I wouldn't touch him with a ten foot pole!
Why doesn't he just get a divorce and let guardianship fall back to her parents? I know this must have come up before but I guess I haven't heard the answer.
Well it's pretty telling since the Schindlers made their offer to MS known to the public? Have you seen it?
Yes I know. I feel bad for not picking this up earlier. I thought Jeb saved her and I didn't pay any attention.
I just saw the link above, with her father.
Is there another?
Yes. Of course, anyone who watches one of the videos of her can see that much for themselves.

I got those links from http://www.raven1.net/terrivids.htm .
You, we, need to follow the money and quite possibly the crime.
Thanks for the links.
There is lots more at www.terrisfight.org There is thread here on the settlement but it would take me a while to find it.
If he gets a divorce, his fiance can't have the Catholic wedding she wants. If they don't get married soon, their kids will be too old to serve as ring bearer and flower girl.
The woman's in a chronic persistent vegetative state caused by a heart attack. Good luck.
I hope that one day she comes out of it, but IMO this is just more clutching at straws.
