I guess the film I saw showing her respond to her parents wasn't true either...
I quit loving her long ago. I love someone else now. She's in the way. She's on my nerves. She's gotta go.
I seriously doubt Michael ever loved anyone but himself.
The part about him getting doctors to put electrodes in her brain is very strange. I have to wonder if this made her condition worse.
...because then he would lose the ability to inherit the remaining cash in her medical care fund when she dies... That also seems to be why he's in such a rush to finish her off, before her care uses up all the cash he stands to inherit.
(The fund was at one time over a million dollars.)
I just visited the Holocaust Museum - there are authenic photos and films there of people like Michael Schiavo, his paramour and his future mother-in-law! They should be exposed for what they are and inhumane is the least. Paraphrasing the words of General Eisenhower quoted on the wall there "beasts!"
exactly!
My very first babysitting job (when I was 10 in '76) was taking care of a beautiful 8-yr-old girl, Stacy. I think she had MD. My job was to keep sitting her up on the couch and wipe the drool from her mouth. When I had to feed her, it took a long time, and a lot came back out. Her mother adored her. Stacy's precious little life did more for me than I could have imagined. Through her, I learned patience and compassion. These are virtues that many today (especially those in power) have rejected.
The 'ghouls' you refer to are a group of human beings who have actively used the internet to find out all they can about this situation before making the assumption that there should be an investigation of Michael Schiavo, and that Terri should not be put to death just yet.
The investigation so far has turned up quite a few 'links' between the JUDGE, and the owners/board of directors of the HOSPICE she was put in.
There is medical information available that Michael is trying to suppress that indicates that Terri's sudden and for no apparent reason heart attack at an early age, may have been the result of someone trying to strangle her to death.
Have you put any time or effort into finding out the facts in this case?
OK. I suppose you have personally investigated the whole story, and you presently have the documentation proving that he spent (NOT ANY OF HIS OWN) but TERRI's MONEY on TERRI for her therapy, and did not spend it on LAWYERS to help him have her killed.
Please, show it to us so we all can be enlightened.

Forced sterilization in Germany was the forerunner of the systematic killing of the mentally ill and the handicapped. In October 1939, Hitler himself initiated a decree which empowered physicians to grant a "mercy death" to "patients considered incurable according to the best available human judgment of their state of health." The intent of the socalled "euthanasia" program, however, was not to relieve the suffering of the chronically ill. The Nazi regime used the term as a euphemism: its aim was to exterminate the mentally ill and the handicapped, thus "cleansing" the "Aryan" race of persons considered genetically defective and a financial burden to society.
The idea of killing the incurably ill was posed well before 1939. In the 1920s, debate on this issue centered on a book coauthored by Alfred Hoche, a noted psychiatrist, and Karl Binding, a prominent scholar of criminal law. They argued that economic savings justified the killing of "useless lives" ("idiots" and "congenitally crippled"). Economic deprivation during World War I provided the context for this idea. During the war, patients in asylums had ranked low on the list for rationing of food and medical supplies, and as a result, many died from starvation or disease. More generally, the war undermined the value attached to individual life and, combined with Germany's humiliating defeat, led many nationalists to consider ways to regenerate the nation as a whole at the expense of individual rights.
In 1935 Hitler stated privately that "in the event of war, [he] would take up the question of euthanasia and enforce it" because "such a problem would be more easily solved" during wartime. War would provide both a cover for killing and a pretext--hospital beds and medical personnel would be freed up for the war effort. The upheaval of war and the diminished value of human life during wartime would also, Hitler believed, mute expected opposition. To make the connection to the war explicit, Hitler's decree was backdated to September 1, 1939, the day Germany invaded Poland.
