I can understand your point of view, my opinion isn't that far over the fence of the other side. I'm conflicted on this scenario just like anybody else, but just like I said in an earlier reply. My wife and I had the same conversation that he says that they had with his wife and I can tell you that she said she wouldn't want to live like that either. But if and when it ever came down to it, how would I prove it and would it make any difference if I had found someone else over a 10 year period. It wouldn't mean I didn't care about her and the situation that she was in, I would still love her enough to carry out her wishes despite what her parents or the news media thought.

While I do appreciate what you are saying, this isn't about an average scenario - it's pretty extreme. You're assuming that Michael Schiavo's motives are pure. You're also assuming he is telling the truth when he claims she told him her wishes. I say facts of the case cast enough doubt. FL law says guardians are to be impartial. How impartial can one be in his situation?

And how can you ignore the fact that he only remembered what she wanted ten years after her accident? And how can you ignore the pretenses under which he was awarded the settlement money?

By the way, there are statements by others who claim he said otherwise. An ex-girlfriend says that he told her he had no idea what Terri would want.
