2005-03-23) -- With his wife desiccated and starving in a nursing home bed, Michael Schiavo revealed today that Terri would have wanted an advance of at least $5 million for her "right-to-die" book, and twice that plus "a piece of the boxoffice" for the movie rights.

"Since the day I remembered that Terri told me she didn't want eat or drink if she became disabled, this has been a human rights case," said Mr. Schiavo. "Book and movie rights are basic human rights, and I'll continue to fight to see Terri's wishes carried out."

The Florida man said Terri's agent has several "live offers" but they don't yet fulfill Terri's expressed desires.

"We talked about this all the time," he said. "Terri would say, 'Honey, if I'm ever incapacitated, let me slowly die of thirst and make sure to get an agent that knows how to pull together a book and movie package with a foreign distribution clause and a licensing deal for the clothing and toys. And I won't settle for a stinking network movie-of-the-week'."

The above is satire, but not totally offbase.??

The very thought of a "'right-to-die' book" by Schiavo is wa-a-ay off-base--for the simple reason that the "right-to-die" isn't what's at issue! Rather, it's right-to-not-be-kept-alive-by-artificial-means that's being upheld by the court(s).

You've got it right...nail on the head! There's a lot more in this for Michael Schiavo than the paltry million from the lawsuit.

I smell bigtime Soros money here.
