"Mr. Schiavo has received so much criticism throughout this case that I'm certain there's a part of him that was pleased to hear these results and the hard science behind them," Felos said.
Maybe if he hadn't kicked the family out of the hospital room when Terri died and refused to tell them where the ashes were, people wouldn't have such a low opinion of him. He also denied her communion, which is harmless and takes but a few moments, and was obviously important to the family. I'm tired of the whole case, yet my opinion of Mr. Schiavo has not changed.
The autopsy doesn't reveal whether he smacked her around or not. It didn't show any physical signs of abuse like broken bones, but, this autopsy hardly clears him of abuse.
There is still one aspect of this that deserves careful thought. Is dehydration the way any human being (no matter how damaged) should be put to death?
So, are people here who demonized Michael Shiavo and those like me who sided with him, going to apologize for all the falsehoods, lies and hatred they've shown?
Now you don't like him for his actions during the last day of Terri's life, and the days after her passing?
What you don't seem to understand is Michael and Terri's family COULDN'T be in the same room TOGETHER. Who would want to? He, falsely accused, loudly and repeatedly of being a murderer by them and being charged over a dozen times in court, and them believing he was responsible for their daughter's condition and of wanting to murder her. So, whenever her family came over, Michael would go into another room and wait there until they left.
Didn't he have the right to be with Terri at the moment of her death? If he WASN'T there, wouldn't the criticism against him be that he was so uncaring that wasn't there when she died whereas her family was?
The poor guy is damned no matter what he does. Your hatred is unwarranted.
Furthermore, how can you, or anyone else, know the exact moment of Terri's death? Every assumption before the fact was wrong. She could've also died during the time her family was present.
What about before that time, in all the weeks and months before the feeding tube was removed?
I find it disgusting so-called "Christians" don't have the decency to apologize when they were clearly in the wrong. Michael did NOT beat her or strangle her or tried to murder her or abuse her in ANY way. Terri was BLIND - there was NO way for her eyes to transmit data to her visual cortex, her brain weighed less than a grapefruit and suffered massive neural death, making it IMPOSSIBLE for ANY cognitive ability whatsoever. She could not swallow, communicate or recognize anyone, open eyes or grunting notwithstanding. It was impossible to keep her alive without ARTIFICIALLY using a feeding tube.
Now, the goalposts are moved to Michael's actions during Terri's death and post-death.
Some people are just bigots and act in a shameful way, to Christ's everlasting shame.
What would Jesus do?
