>>hospice rules say that no one can be admitted unless they are certified to be in their last six months of earthly life

According to Felos on LKL, it is legal and appropriate for Terri to be in hospice because she was diagnosed with PVS, which is considered terminal.

>>The house and other stuff is in his girlfriend's name.

Then she should kick him out and tell him: "You can come back as soon as you divorce your wife and are willing to marry me and make your children legitimate."

"Terri may just be entitled to half of everything he owns, including the new house he bought with "his" half of the settlement money. Understand it has a pool and he drives a BMW."

If you look into some of the extensive research that has been done and posted on the "Terri's Fight" threads, you will find that everything that he "owns" has been put into the girlfriend's name. There is also evidence that he is hiding significant assets.

Philadelphia Inquirer online article today. Posted link on the regular Terri thread here

Some new information I hadn't seen before, seems reasonably balanced to me overall.

Thats what happened to Marjorie Nighbert. The took away her feeding tube, she asked the nurse to bring her some food and was refused. Be careful what you put in writing folks.

Put her name in your search engine and read her story.
I's short but informative.

Putting the house in the "girlfriend's" name is a form of marriage. This way the girlfriend can exercise practical control over Schiavo and protect the assets from confiscation by the Schindlers. In reality, Schiavo is a bigamist and a "poor" person under U.S. law so that he can qualify for Medicaid for Terri. The fact that the girlfriend controls his assets is most revealing. Most men with live-in "lovers" have their assets in THEIR names. One of the reasons such men won't marry the "lovers" is that they don't trust the "lovers' with their money! Usually such men have already been divorced (rightly or wrongly from their standpoint) and want to avoid another "splitting" of assets.

I had forgotten that point. Yes, George J. Felos did say on Larry King that PVS qualifies one for a "hospice." He did not discuss funding of Terri at the hospice.

That is the arugmenet being used against me to say God decided then that she died but was brought back. I cannot backup any claims otherwise right now!

Why did God let her be brought back?

If God wanted her to be with him, why did allow her to be "brought back"?

What Schiavo is doing is a form of the situation in which welfare "mothers" have live-in "boyfriends" so that they can collect from the state and also get some use of their boyfriends' paychecks.

I don't know what reason - other than giving the information to other physicians to confirm different prognosis.

That's what I mean - this does not pass the credibility test IMHO.

Well, "Judge Judy" would certainly call what Schiavo claims "hearsay." But George W. Greer is no Judge Judy.

All Schiavo has to do to move on with his life is to divorce Terri. Oops, that means he doesn't get his life insurance money. Never mind.

Wow, that just hit me. She was never dead then! Nor is she dead now and held up by machines. What has this country come to ... sacrifice seems to mean giving up who you love so you can have material wealth.

I wonder if Terri's fight is causing people to hesitate to mark themselves on their driver's licenses as organ donors. People could become so skeptical of the medical and legal professions that they won't agree to donate organs. This could be an unintended effect of George J. Felos' crusade.

You noticed that this tragedy happened to hubby, too?

"My brother is a normal guy who this tragedy happened to," said Brian Schiavo

Funny, seems to me it happened to Terry.

How 90's, ethics and values that change with the times.

"If that is the case then there is some form of her brain functioning."

Have you seen the videos of Terri? Have you visited the website? If not, I suggest that you do. It's a real eyeopener.

I wonder if everything is in the girlfriends name.

What's to stop her from dumping him when this is over?
She could say, money, I don't have your money. You swore in court you didn't have any money, now get out and send me some child support.
He seems like a controling person, would he let her control his assets?
