What a disgusting man. I'm sure his lawyer wrote this statement for him.

[sinkspur]

The fact that you took up with another woman while your wife was still alive and needing your care betrays anything you say here.

"In good times and bad" aren't just words.

Or, maybe they are, to you.

I can't hear you; your actions are louder than your words.

[exit82]

"But,but--I love Terri. That's why she must die!"

Michael Schiavo--new definition for scumbag.

[basil]

Few of us, hopefully, will never have to live the life all of this family has had to endure. It's really hard to make judgements of any of them, having never walked in their shoes.

Anyway you look at it, this is a heart-rending situation.

I'll refrain from commenting, otherwise Jim will ban me for life.

[wizardoz]

Yuh-huh. Hey, here's something you didn't try: hand her over to her parents.

[MattAMiller]

You know, if I'm ever in Terri's position I hope they remove the tube.

Just a little bit from Terri's website:

*Since receiving the award money in 1993, her husband has ceased and prohibited any new or aggressive treatment for Terri. He has only maintained Terri at a nursing home (currently, Terri is in a Hospice facility). He has totally ignored or denied rehabilitation therapy that could possibly assist Terri’s recovery.

*Since 1993, Terri’s husband has consistently and deliberately withheld all medical information and data from Terri’s family. Over the past eight years he has ordered Terri’s caretakers not to reveal any medical or neurological information.

* Michael Schiavo will not permit any doctor to examine Terri other than the doctors he selects.

*As Terri’s legal guardian, her husband has used her medical fund money to offset the legal costs when his guardianship of Terri was initially challenged and to pay the current legal costs to have Terri’s life ended.

*Terri responds regularly to the presence of her parents and friends. Her husband's doctors testified Terri's cognizant responses to Terri’s parents and friends are simply a reflex action.

I wonder when the Simpson-Schiavo tee time is?

"Even now, the nursing home staff says that sometimes Terri gags and chokes on the moisture from the swabs they use to moisten her lips."

This isn't even remotely believable. I can't even figure out how this could physically happen to someone who doesn't drool. Heck, I can't figure out how "swab moisture" could make -anyone- choke, even someone who was a complete vegetable.

"Some days they did not put her makeup on. I would storm into the nursing home insisting that they do so. I knew Terri always wanted to look her best."

Ah, the humanitarian. Making sure she gets her daily dose of Revlon but she's not allowed to have Last Communion.

This guy really is repulsive.

Some people do not agree with the decisions the court made to remove Terri's feeding tube. I struggle to accept it myself.

I love the way he pawns off on the court a decision he requested. Not even man enough to own it.

Statement by Michael Schiavo ...

-------------------

Statement by RLK:

Dear Mr. Schiavo, somehow I don't believe you.

[Annie03]

I wonder who wrote this for him? I'm not sure if I want to laugh or get sick.

[nicksaunt]

I heard Terry's dad in a radio interview saying that Michael Schiavo has been fearful of any kind of rehabilitation because of fear of exposure to the real cause of her incapacitation.

The more I hear and read about this guy, the more he reminds me of a killer/pyscho from an Ann Rule true crime book. He's a real creep.

[EGPWS]

I never wanted Terri to die. I still don't.

Mmm, this statement reaks of discrepency.

[SerpentDove]

BULL BUTTER!

I don't think this demoniac quite expected the outrage and backlash he is experiencing right now.

Seems he's feeling the heat.

I hope is is absolutely terrified for his life, night and day, for the rest of his life.

[Rosjeka]

Incredible!..........the timeline I have shows that Michael Schiavo requested in August 1993 that an infection go untreated. She hasn't had her teeth cleaned in 10 years.......

That sure doesn't sound like a man who tried for seven years to do whatever he could for her. Sounds like a guy who tried as long as it took to get an award payout!!!

Jerk!

[SwordofTruth]

I took Terri to California. I stayed with her while doctors performed an experimental procedure to implant electrodes in her brain to stimulate its function. I spent months working with her - hopeful of a cure. Months later, the doctors told me the electrodes were not working.

I wonder if those electrodes are still in her brain.

Knowing this guy, I have to feel they were never meant to help her, but rather control her.
