It never occurs to the writer that it is illegal as well as morally obnoxious to kill a conscious person, even in Florida.

The writer also complains that David Gibbs seems to demonize Michael, when if Gibb's description of his interaction with Terri is even remotely truthful that would imply that Michael Schiavo et al. knowingly subjected a concious person to a death so horrible as to make burning at the stake seem pleasant by comparison.

If David Gibbs' statements about Terri are accurate, how could he possibly not regard Michael Schiavo et al. as evil?

I finished reading Gibbs's book myself and did a capsule review at #1367. I don't agree with that Amazon(?) writer; it didn't strike me at all that Gibbs was demonizing Michael Schiavo. He was at his best with his eyewitness affirmation that Terri was vibrantly alive and "in there," despite her injuries. Gibbs didn't offer any theories of how she was injured (I would!), just said he'd heard a lot of them. Didn't mention the many instances of MS's meanness we have all heard about here, nor the incidents reported by Carla Iyer. Gibbs is an explicitly Christian writer and referred to MS only (or mainly) in terms of un-Christian behavior -- the long medical neglect and the adultery with Jodi. But on the whole, Gibbs wrote about Terri, not about MS.
