The legal guardianship of Terri should revert to her family. They are the one's who love her and have her best interest at heart. Michael clearly does not, nor do most of the courts. God help this woman. This is just unbelievable!

For the facts the leftist media wont give.

Ironic, isn't it?

[joesnuffy]

How can you be the husband of one woman lying in a hospital bed
when you are shaked up with another who you've had a child with
and she is pregnant with another of your children?

Too bad they dont have "common law" divorce...down there....
seems to me that a judge with ...half a brain ...would have seen
an obvious 'conflict of interest' with a man claiming to 'do what is right'
for one woman when he is committed to married family life with another...
he is committed to the death of one in order to be financially better off
with his next family...

My nephews wife recently died with ALS, and for years the only way she could communicate was with her eyes!

If he were my son-in-law, Michael Schiavo would be deceased.

[nicmarlo]

yet another ping.

[eeriegeno]

I believe that the Florida law specifies that a person who has a 'conflict of interest' is not to be appointed guardian of another person? Is it not a 'conflict of interest' for Mr Schiavo to be controlling the interests (guardian) of Terri while he is having kids with another woman?

Someone should clue the UK Telegraph that their article was filled with misinformation! I stopped reading after the second untruth.

a 44-page document drawn up by Mr Schiavo's lawyers

Let's say it takes about 15 minutes per page to dictate/write, another 5 min. or so to type, another 5 to edit/proof, another once over for the entire document (at least).....that's at least a half hour a page (x 44 pages). Then photocopy time/expense of say another $50.00 Add the lawyer's at least $120/hour fee.......we're looking at about $1,370.00 for one document to try to get Terri to be murdered.

I never call Terri "Mrs. Schiavo." I just call her "Terri" or "Terri Schindler."

[sweetliberty]

"But the passing of Terri's Law also threatens to plunge Mr Bush and the Republican-controlled Florida legislature into a constitutional crisis because sections of public opinion oppose a politician's involvment in medical dilemmas."

Oh, but it's NOT a Constitutional crisis when the judiciary fails to uphold the Constitutional RIGHT TO LIFE?

"Mr Schiavo, whose new partner has one child by him and is pregnant again, has always argued that his wife did not wish to be kept alive artificially."

Uhhh....no. He didn't "recall" that little detail until his association with George Felos began...8 YEARS LATER!

[tenthirteen]

Let me get this right....this law is unconstitutional because sections of public opinion oppose it?

I really hope they don't believe this. I know I don't.

Listen to this:

Disability rights activist Rus Cooper-Dowda, who had once been diagnosed as being in a "persistent vegetative state," shares her perspective on the Terri Schiavo case.

Cooper-Dowda was in the hospital listening to the nurses talk about unplugging her, and she tried to letters with her hand, but they would sedate her.
