ARE YOU READY FOR A $20 MILLION WRONGFUL DEATH LAWSUIT AGAINST MICHAEL SCHIAVO, Does 1-10

It appears that Terri Schiavo is going to be starved and dehydrated. I don't see how it going to be stopped short of a kidnapping to save her life.

If we are to believe sworn affidavits, Michael Schiavo denied his beloved wife rehab, speech, and occupational therapy. Terri actually was able to drink from a baby bottle and ate pudding and jello. He threatened to fire a nurse if she got nourishment from anything but the feeding tube?

Why just the feeding tube? Because he could have that pulled and starve her to death. He had no interest in seeing that she learn to eat again.

A nurse has said that Terri was able to say "mommy," "help me," "hi," and express when she was in pain.

Terri is also being denied communion.

Michael thinks it is over when he has managed to starve and dehydrate her to death? No, Michael, I don't think so.

There will be a wrongful death suit filed of perhaps $20 million. The evidence will come out about the denial of rehab. Her broken bones will be investigated. Ultimately, Michael, some of the truth is going to see the light of day. You are not going to get away with it. Not in this life. Not in the next.

Gonna be hard to do an autopsy on cremains. Terri is to be cremated immediately on her death, per Schiavo's orders.

[Howlin]

You're welcome.

It is NOT BIGAMY, if the spouse is NOT legally married to more than one person.

In a sense you are right, it's called ADULTRY.

So when are you going to answer my other posts to you?

[tertiary01]

No

[aQ_code_initiate]

An inquest ordered by a coroner or medical examiner would overrule any funeral arrangements.

[BigSkyFreeper]

Given onyx' frontal assault ("stop the lies") he/she does not deserve the benefit of the doubt or courtesy.

Then I will not reserve any benefit of courtesy, but will extend plenty of doubt in your general direction.

Tell that to the polygamist recently convicted.

Your comment is incredibly superficial.

[jmc813]

Can you imagine, for example, all the people on this thread being armed and in the same room?

You sure are afraid of guns.

[doug from upland]

Not a rant. Thanks for the information. As I said, I hadn't followed this much until a short time ago. I don't know what to believe but would like to see every fact revealed to the public before she dies.

I might find out that I was unfair to Michael. He may deserve an apology from many of us. But I am correct that there will be a wrongful death suit. If his actions were proper and moral, his Maker will smile on him.

It says she made progress while in the hospital.

[Peach]

She couldn't even swallow! I do not call that progress.

[Howlin]

A question to anyone who sides with Mr. Schiavo:

I know that you all love to characterize people who don't agree with you that way, but it's completely disengenuous.

Nobody here is siding with him. People just have different viewpoints about who this should be handled; and that's ALL that is going on on FR -- discussions.

Perhaps if you all stopped condemming people just because they don't agree with you word for word, there really could be legitimate discussion of this case.

[tallhappy]

Then I will not reserve any benefit of courtesy, but will extend plenty of doubt in your general direction.

Go for it.

Typical.

Liberals always refuse to look at context and apply moral relative or neutral criteria.

Grow a spine.

[mlc9852]

Actually I've done a lot of research. Of course, all info I've read is second-hand, since I don't personally know Terri or her family and am probably limited to information just as you are. All in all, I would err on the side of life.

[LauraJean]

Yes, we women are verbal creatures, if anyone ever took me seriously about too many push-ups, bad hair days and public service announcements I would be long gone.

[Xenalyte]

You'd think, wouldn't you?

I thought a Congressional subpoena overrode a local court.

To paraphrase Agent K, just think what you and I will know tomorrow.

[trisham]

How dare YOU accuse me of not knowing the basic facts! I have read everyting I can get my hands on about this case. Having a brain-injured husband myself makes me a little more than just interested. Now, you have really gotten on my nerves and I think I am going to have to excuse myself for a while so I can go FEED my brain-injured husband.

*****************

Good grief, there's been some very unfortunate behaviour on this thread.

Your thoughts on this issue are as valid as anyone's, in my opinion.

May God bless and keep you and your husband.

[Neets]

HA!!

I might find out that I was unfair to Michael. He may deserve an apology from many of us.

Jay Wolfson had some choice descriptions for Michael during an interview the other day. One of them: "He is not a warm, fuzzy person."

[doug from upland]

It took many, many months and a lot of work for my mom to be able to swallow after her stroke.
