Oh, this is an OUTRAGE!!!!!!!!!
I didn't notice that, until you pointed it out. Then I went back and looked at the grave stone.
MS is indeed a monster.

Terri Schiavo's husband buried her cremated remains in a Clearwater cemetery Monday, inscribing on her bronze grave marker that ``I kept my promise.''
David Gibbs, an attorney for the woman's parents, Bob and Mary Schindler, said inscribing the marker that way was a nasty political statement by Michael Schiavo, who held the service and burial Monday before telling her family.
``Obviously, that's a real shot and another unkind act toward a grieving mom and dad,'' Gibbs said.
After earlier announcing plans to bury his wife's ashes in their native Pennsylvania, Michael Schiavo instead interred them at Sylvan Abbey Memorial Park in Clearwater, near Tampa, his attorney, George Felos, said in a short news release Monday.

What her brain looked like upon death had NOTHING to do with her feeding tube being removed. No matter HOW many times they say it.
I wouldn't do it by lying.
The criminal here is MS.
The tombstone epitaph will be his downfall.
Terri didn't have a living will and she didn't refuse treatment. Did she?
Situation ethics are okay, depending upon the situation. Okay?
Florida does not require a written living will.
Now, do you think living wills should be illegal? Do you think people do not have the right to refuse medical treatment?
I'm beginning to wonder exactly what type of "Chrisitanity" is being practiced by some of these people.
His downfall? I don't know what you mean by that; people couldn't think much less of him.
But it's certainly not criminal.
Terri didn't have a living will and she didn't refuse treatment. Did she?
Do we - as a society - starve or not starve a living human being to death? Simple question...and deseves a yes or no.

MS is indeed a monster.
Feeding tubes are being removed all over this country as we post here.
You left out the part about "and we decide for everybody."
The court ruled, based on the testimony of MS and corroborating witnesses, that her wish was not to be kept alive under those circumstances.
Now, are you going to answer my questions? Your last two replies have avoided any actual response.
Do you think living wills should be illegal? Do you think people do not have the right to refuse medical treatment?
Wrong question. How about:
Do we -- as a society -- respect the right of people to make their own end-of-life and medical treatment decisions?
I wouldnt want to see your child's reaction when you tell them you would not tell a lie to save their life.
Apparently we do. We also chop up, vacuum and poison in the womb over one hundred thousand babies too. Now remind me; what is it we hate so much about Muslims?
The subject is Terri Schiavo.
"Do we -- as a society -- respect the right of people to make their own end-of-life and medical treatment decisions?"

Wrong question. The real question is: Do we -- as a society -- decide and choose death for those who didn't leave specific instructions to be kept alive? When there is no written instruction, as there wasn't in this case, should WE, as a society, decide and choose death, when we don't know what the person would have wanted?
