And there are a few who have been very cruel in their attitude toward the Schindlers. One rejoiced that Terri's parents would have no access to her grave. I asked if I had misunderstood. I didn't. Those kinds of hard words make civility difficult and differences polarizing.

Well, I do feel for them...I believe that they have truly believed they saw reactions where there were none. Talk to those who work with the profoundly injured, and you'll hear that is a common thing from hopeful relatives.

But I don't think it's an excuse for suddenly making horrid accusations against Mr. Schiavo 12 years after the collapse. I can certainly understand that Mr. Schiavo cannot trust the Schindlers. I'm not even getting into the possibility of childhood abuse...I'm talking just how they treated their daughter's husband.

As for pro-life, well, I am pro-rights. People have a right to life, but also a right to choose not to live.

I can't believe you just said that. We'll drop it.

Had Terri made out a living will that had been notarized and witnessed by two people, we wouldn't be having this conversation. BUT SHE DID NOT HAVE IT IN WRITING. Instead, the court accepts her estranged husband stating that she had said she wouldn't want to live that way. Meanwhile, Terri's friends say the opposite. At best they cancel each other out.

My reply: I have been pondering what you wrote. What exactly is there that Michael Sciavo cannot trust about her own parents willing to take care of her. Was Michael woried that they would "hurt" their daughter? That they would hurt her more badly than starving and dehydrating her to death which is what he did.

I think I will have to take a break from posting back to you. Your thoughts are just so out of my ability to concieve as having any remote validity that I think I'll jsut ahve a little break.

Don't feel poorly if I don't reply back.
