I think it's mostly greed (the life insurance payout he gets on her death),

Michael Schiavo's attorney claims that no such life insurance policy exists. This should not be a hard fact to determine definitively, one way or the other.

When Terri dies, there will be an autopsy regardless of whether she is cremated afterward.

It's very tempting to make arguments based on perceived motives of opponents, and most of us do that, but it's not really the best or most effective way to argue.

As I understand it, Mikey has ordered IMMEDIATE cremation, and it appears he is within his powers as guardian to do so.

The state could intervene if there is enough suspicion of foul play (they apparently don't think so at this point, despite some pretty decent evidence), or I would think the insurance company could pre-emptively demand one. But I don't think that either course is being pursued at this point.

MS has refused to confirm or deny life insurance. (Probably on his lawyer's orders.) If Felos told me it was a sunny day, I'd grab an umbrella...I don't believe anything that man says.

There have been too many articles which have stated that Terri's body is to be immediately cremated to doubt it.

As for MS's motives, I base my beliefs on what they are on the sworn testimony of Terri's nurses and her coworker. I don't see why they'd lie, and perjury is a serious offense (not that some don't commit it, I know) so I believe they are trustworthy witnesses.

If even 1/10th of what has been stated in the various articles (articles, not posts ) re: MS is true, he is a greedy, evil, selfish, abusive-well, let's just call him a HINO, like some freeper (no idea who) started. It fits!

Yeah. This is one argument I've seen on these threads that I cannot understand. Do people assume that bodies to be cremated aren't autopsied? Or is that the assumption? I can't imagine that her body wouldn't be autopsied.

"When Terri dies, there will be an autopsy regardless of whether she is cremated afterward."

It was my understanding that Judge Greer had ordered NO autopsy as requested by his buddy, Michael. Did something change?
