The ONLY reason, IMO, that MS "took care" of Terri all those years before the insurance settlement was BECAUSE he knew he had to make it seem like he wanted her to live so that he was able to get the settlement. Doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure that out. He wouldn't have gotten a million plus if they knew he was going to discontinue rehab shortly after he got the settlement.

I heard a sermon Sunday on the "Rich Man and Lazarus." It made me think of popular "Rich Man" Michael R. Schiavo being in torment as he begged "Lazarus" Terri to put a drop of water on his parched tongue. Of course, she wanted to comply but could not physically do so.

Yep. I came to that conclusion after much research back in 2003.

I responded to the unsubstantiated claim that Michael was sweet and loving until he realized that Terri was lost. But that does not account for many facts such as the half-dozen I offered. Another obvious one is, he could not have known in advance that she was hopeless because he never let her have the therapy she needed. If the therapy had been tried and had failed, then maybe he could made such a claim. But since she got no treatment, nobody can say she wouldn't have gotten better with good medical care.

The facts as they are suggest the opposite conclusion. Michael denied her therapy because he knew she WOULD get better, and he certainly didn't want that. She might even get well enough to finger him for assault.

Of course he also denied her therapy so that the lawyers and he could legally embezzle her therapy and care funds -- and a lot of money it was!
