A brass grave marker inscribed with the words "I kept my promise" and a simple marble bench overlook a pond with a fountain in the center.

Hmmmmm......aren't most grave markers are about the person who died, not the one who helped put them there?

'It's my turn to talk,' says Michael Schiavo

November 1992
Testimony of Michael Schiavo, Medical Malpractice Trial

Q. Why did you want to learn to be a nurse?
MS. Because I enjoy it and I want to learn more how to take care of Terri.

Q. You're a young man. Your life is ahead of you. When you look up the road, what do you see for yourself?
MS. I see myself hopefully finishing school and taking care of my wife.

Q. Where do you want to take care of your wife?
MS. I want to bring her home.

Q. If you had the resources available to you, if you had the equipment and the people, would you do that?
MS. Yes, I would, in a heartbeat.

Q. How do you feel about being married to Terri now.
MS. I feel wonderful. She's my life and I wouldn't trade her for the world. I believe in my marriage vows.

Q. You believe in your wedding vows, what do you mean by that?
MS. I believe in the vows I took with my wife, through sickness, in health, for richer or poor. I married my wife because I love her and I want to spend the rest of my life with her. I'm going to do that.

jennyjenny - good heavens. if you believe the soul, then you should know the soul animates the body. without a soul, Terri would've been dead and there would've been no need to starve her - stay with me please - to death.

because of the soul, a human being remains human no matter the condition of her organs. so Terri was human before, during and after her brain damage. it's impossible for a human being to become a vegetable, just as it's impossible for a vegetable to become human.

hope you change your mind about euthanasia. QM2
