Thank you for article site and the address for reply. I am concerned that media people will push for this being a "right to die" case. Here is what I sent to the writer of the article:
Dear Mr. Nohlgren,

Surely you would agree that your nonprofessional and totally undecuated evaluation of the full four hours of the Schiavo video tape has no bearing on the issue. If various professionals can disagree on the interpretation of this video tape, then your opionion is all the more moot.
The issue is that a disabled woman has been denied her basic rights of treatment and rehabilitation for the last ten years. Such treatment having been funded by a court decision. That she has received even basic treatment is the result of her parents' constant vigilance. Her husband has denied this woman even the most basic humane interactions.
It is at most a flimsy right to die case. It is distinctly a gross and abject mistreatment of a disabled woman whose funds for treatment and rehabilitation have been channelled elsewhere, anywhere but to her. It is most definitely criminal misappropriation of funds set aside by a jury on the grounds that this disabled woman could benefit from and deserved treatment. And it is this abomination that has stirred the interest from hundreds of thousands of people across this country.

Excellent letter! I am sick of the press corp who deliberately distort the truth, or not talk about it at all. When the feeding tube was removed, NOBODY in the press talked about Terri. It wasn't until Florida passed Terri's Law that it started mainstream again, BUT you see they don't address it that much.

It seems that Kobe Bryant (he's guilty) and that millionaire psycho murderer deserve more air time, NOT!
