Not hard to find. Go to Peach's "In Forum" page, find the post with the link to the PDF file. Read it. Much of what you've herd is simply nonsense.

Thank you, Jotmo.

A couple of things bother me (ok, more, but here's a few that keep popping into my mind!).

MS tells the court he wants to be a nurse to care for Terri for the rest of her life which is estimated by his lawyers as 30 to 40 years longer. This is at the lawsuit trial and the financial settlement is based on her expected life span. It was after this trial that MS goes to court to file the first appeal to end her life.

The observation has been made that Terri's biological family would keep her alive, using all kinds of gruesome questions/scenerios posed to them by the court. Of course, if you read the whole thing, you pick up that MS's attorneys had voiced concern that if the Schindler's were made guardians they would get control of the remaining award money used for Terri's upkeep and who could say that then they would have her feeding tube removed? So, the Schindler's erred on the side of excess to show they did not want their daughter dead... but they went too far. Bad lawyers, innocent people trying to keep their daughter alive at all cost (as I myself would do).

Anyhow, to be informed, please read Dr. Cheshire's medical report... he recently spent ten hours examining Terri Schiavo. It's eye-opening and heartbreaking - especially when you know the subject of his exam will shortly be dead of starvation and dehydration. He has no compunction about removing feeding tubes from PVS patients and in fact held that opinion about Terri, based on reading medical reports - that is, until he examined her. Shortish read, again, eye opening.

Statement of Dr. William Cheshire on Theresa Marie Schiavo

Regardless of the family personalities, this woman doesn't deserve the death sentence she has been handed. Some things are just plain wrong, and this is one of them.
