Surprisingly Alan Dershowitz came out on the side of the Schindlers.
I usually abhor him, but he sounded very sympathetic to their plight and said he didn't thinking the findings in Terri's verdict was sound enough from a legal standpoint.
More dark humor from Scott Ott. Again it has a ring of truth to it. Unfortuantely.
Right-to-Starve Added to Feminism's Victories
by Scott Ott
(2005-03-19) -- The National Organization for Women (NOW) today held a jubilant news conference to celebrate the latest advance in women's rights -- the right to have your estranged husband choose to end your life.
"First, it was women's suffrage -- the right to vote -- then abortion, the right to privacy," said an unnamed NOW spokesman. "Finally, a man has led the way in freeing us from the antiquated bigotry that has kept our former husbands from choosing a slow, painful death for us."
The NOW source said the court-ordered removal of Terri Schiavo's feeding tube, based on the testimony of Michael Schiavo alone has "opened a world of opportunities for women to freely die at the hands of the men they love."
"The next time you tell your husband 'I'd rather die than go to that party,' you can rest assured that your words have legal weight and, if the occasion arises, your wishes will be respected," said the NOW source. "What's more, you're free from the worry that your man will be prosecuted for your murder."
Michael Schiavo lives with another woman and their two children. He developed this "backup family" according to his lawyer, "to assuage his eventual grief over the coming loss of Terri -- the woman he loves to death."

Dershowitz does some pro bono work. Too bad he didn't take on her case.
